City: River Rock property purchase on hold pending Fish and Wildlife grant delayed by federal shutdown

The City Manager told the council that the River Rock property acquisition remains in progress but is temporarily on hold because the State Coastal Conservancy is awaiting a grant agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The transcript records the manager saying the grant agreement is delayed because of a federal government shutdown and that Fortunaaa's purchase remains "in progress" but in a holding pattern until the grant executes.

No council action was taken at this meeting; the City Manager said staff will report back when the grant agreement is finalized.
