Price City council approves nearly $10 million additional NRCS funding request for Upper Price River EIS
Summary
On April 23 the Price City Council approved a request to seek $9,969,621 in additional grant funding from the Natural Resources Conservation Service to complete the Upper Price River Plan EIS; staff said the project is nearing completion within about eight months.
The Price City Council voted April 23 to approve a request for $9,969,621 in additional grant funding from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to complete the Upper Price River Plan environmental impact statement (EIS).
Miles (staff) told the council the project "is still moving forward" and said the team expects to reach completion "within the next 8 months." He described the council's earlier action approving a time extension and said the current item is a funding extension: "This is a money extension. We're asking for additional funding because there's more work to be done."
Council Member Willis moved to approve the additional funding request; Council Member Jesperson seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.
The record shows the request is for additional NRCS grant funding to finish the EIS; no contract awards or specific programmatic project changes were recorded during the April 23 discussion. Staff did not provide alternate funding sources in the discussion recorded in the transcript.
