Council told March grant review is imminent; March meeting to include boating-access applications
Summary
Staff told the council that funding for a North Wash access solution and other projects exists and that the council must review boating-access grant applications in March. The council agreed to prioritize the March grant-review meeting.
Division staff told the council it has identified funding to continue planning on a North Wash access solution and will be working with the National Park Service on next steps.
Jorge Vasquez and Ty Hunter described the immediate calendar obligation: the council must review boating-access grant applications on a March schedule so those recommendations can feed into the grant cycle. Jason Curry and others described coordination among the Division of Outdoor Recreation, the Division of Wildlife Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for boating-access and Clean Vessel Act grants.
Staff reiterated that the March meeting is a hard deadline for grant review, and members agreed to prioritize that session. The council set its next regular meeting for May 6 and asked staff to provide grant materials to members through a shared folder so members can review applications ahead of the March meeting.
No grant awards were made at the Feb. 4 meeting; the advisory council’s role was described as advisory and consultative for the grant process.
