CCRPC staff reported for Basin 5 that the commission has prequalified eight water‑quality engineering firms and 11 organizations (including land conservation and water‑quality organizations, NRCDs and municipalities) as potential subgrantees. Dan Albrecht said CCRPC expects to reissue its RFQ if more organizations want to be certified and that it is roughly a month or two away from issuing any call for proposals. For Basin 8 CCRPC reported by email that CVRPC signed its Formula Grant and that its executive director will leave; Christian Meyer will serve as acting director until a replacement is identified.
