Town staff to seek $400,000 Valley Water grant for a native‑plant garden; council endorsement planned
Summary
Committee members said staff will ask the city council to endorse a $400,000 grant application to Valley Water for a native‑plant garden; the application would go on the council’s consent calendar with detailed plans to follow if the grant opportunity is pursued.
Peter Brown told the committee that a Valley Water grant opportunity is available and that staff and volunteers have discussed preparing a proposal for a native‑plant garden. He said the city council will be asked to endorse submitting an application — the endorsement would appear on the consent calendar and would not require detailed cost estimates at the time of endorsement.
Committee members asked for more information on scope and timing and asked staff to assemble a summary and any early cost estimates to support the council submission. The speaker said the grant opportunity is time‑sensitive and that staff will present an initial endorsement request to the council this week.
No formal vote on the grant application was recorded at the EDPC meeting; the committee’s role is advisory and staff signaled they will continue preparing the application materials and seek council endorsement as the next step.
