Grants staff say $872,108 allocated; commissioners agree to move follow-up to June to allow environmental reviews
Summary
County grants staff told commissioners the OPWC allocation window opened and $872,108 was available for the listed projects; commissioners agreed to postpone action to June to allow environmental reviews and to accommodate absent staff.
During a work-session follow-up with the Office of Grants Administration, staff reported that the OPWC allocations for the projects had been announced and that $872,108 had been allocated for the projects under discussion.
Staff advised that environmental reviews are necessary for each project and that review time varies by project complexity. A staff member said projects must be turned in by August and that the sooner the commissioners give authorization, the sooner environmental reviews can begin.
Because a key staff member, Shannon, was absent, commissioners agreed to move the grants follow-up to the June meeting so the absent staff member can participate and to allow time for environmental reviews and project preparation. County staff said they would begin environmental review work once authorization is provided.
No final allocation decisions or contract awards were made at the meeting; staff said the OPWC allocation window had only recently opened and that projects need formal submission and further approvals.
