Council designates signatory and accepts $2 million in wind-project funds
Summary
Council approved paperwork to accept a $2,000,000 award and designated an officer to execute documents to secure the funds for a wind-related project, following last year's $5,000,000 award.
The City Council authorized staff to execute documents necessary to accept and secure a $2,000,000 award for a wind-related project at the city after a council motion on March 3.
City staff told the council the previous year’s award had been $5,000,000; this year’s allocation was capped at $2,000,000. Staff said the funds will be put toward the same wind project the city used prior funding for; the council voted to designate the certifying officer to execute required documents.
Why it matters: The funding will provide capital for the city’s wind project work. Staff did not provide finer-grained budget breakdowns or program-level spending details on the public record at the meeting; council approval authorized the city to sign the necessary documents and accept the award.
Next steps: Staff will execute the paperwork so the city can access the awarded funds and apply them to the wind project; specific expenditure plans or timelines were not discussed at the meeting.
