Board votes to apply for Leland Dam restoration grant after inspection report
Summary
Following a facilities update on the Leland Dam inspection, the board voted 5-2 to apply for a dam restoration grant; Allgaier and Campbell voted against the recommendation.
Facilities Director Patrick Roach presented the Leland Dam inspection report at the April 14 executive session and recommended pursuing restoration funding. Commissioners voted to apply for a dam restoration grant; the motion passed 5-2 (Ayes: Bunek, Robbins, Walter, Wessell, Yoder; No: Allgaier, Campbell).
The board discussed scope and next steps before authorizing application for grant funds. Commissioner Gwenne Allgaier and Commissioner Alan Campbell recorded the two opposing votes; no amendment to the original motion was recorded. The facilities department will follow typical grant application steps, including any required matching funds or engineering attachments identified in the inspection report.
Next steps: staff will prepare and submit the grant application and return to the Board with application details, potential match requirements and a timeline for restoration work if funding is secured.
