City asks commission to approve Corps agreement to secure $4.66 million transportation grant before Sept. 25 deadline
Summary
City staff said the Army Corps requires the city sign an environmental/engineering agreement by Sept. 25 to keep $4,660,000 in funding for a transportation project; staff requested approval to execute the agreement before the next commission meeting.
City staff told commissioners that the city has been awarded Transportation Project Fund (TPF) support for a Third Street project and that a related environmental/engineering agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers must be finalized before Sept. 25 or the city will lose $4,660,000 in funding.
Staff asked the commission to approve the agreement so the city can meet the Army Corps’ signing deadline; the speaker said internal language changes were needed before final signature and that waiting until the commission’s next regular meeting (Sept. 25) would mean missing the Corps’ deadline and losing the full funding amount. The speaker indicated they had coordinated with the Army Corps, the city manager and staff to bring the contract before the commission at this meeting because of the timing.
A motion and a roll call were called on the record in the transcript excerpt, but the excerpt does not contain the roll call result or tally. Staff said there would be no extensions if the commission missed the deadline and that the funding total at risk was $4,660,000.
