Pacific council discusses $1.7 million Conservation Futures grant, food-truck pilot and Port grant application
Summary
City staff told the council they are eyeing a $1.7 million Conservation Futures Tax Levy Grant to buy property in Pacific, and discussed joining a Washington Food Truck Association two-year pilot while pursuing a Port of Seattle economic development grant to help cover costs.
The City of Pacific’s council workshop on Aug. 11, 2025 included a Community Development report that the city is pursuing a Conservation Futures Tax Levy Grant in the amount of $1.7 million to acquire property within city limits.
Community Development Director Carl de Simas reported the grant discussion to the council and framed the potential funding as a land-acquisition opportunity under the county’s Conservation Futures program. The transcript records the amount discussed as $1.7 million; no property parcel or seller was identified during the workshop.
De Simas also said the city is exploring membership in a two-year pilot run by the Washington Food Truck Association and is looking to apply for a Port of Seattle Economic Development Grant to help cover program costs. The council did not take formal action on either grant application during the workshop.
The Community Development report did not specify timelines, match requirements, or which parcel(s) the Conservation Futures funds might target, and staff did not provide a cost estimate for any property purchase during the session.
The workshop record shows staff presenting the topics as items for further study; no motions, votes, or formal commitments were recorded.
