City manager asks council to support $50,000 SEEN funding request; water-tank damage flagged
Summary
City Manager Gonzalez told the Mendota council on Aug. 8 that the S.E.E.N. Team is seeking $50,000 for a clear energy and carbon-management project and reported rust and beam damage to a city water tank; discussion covered repair options and possible grant funding.
City Manager Gonzalez told the Mendota City Council on Aug. 8 that he had received a request from Chantelise Pells with the S.E.E.N. Team asking whether the city would be willing to support an application for $50,000 in funding for a clear energy and carbon management project.
Gonzalez asked the council to consider supporting the S.E.E.N. Team's funding application. The council discussed the request and the possibility of supporting the application, but the minutes do not record a formal vote or commitment of city funds.
Gonzalez also reported the results of a recent inspection of the city's water tanks, saying one tank showed rust and damage to beams. Council members discussed possible repair costs (not specified in the minutes), the option of installing a third water tank, preventive measures to limit future damage, grant opportunities to assist with the repair, and installing a pressure stabilizing tank at the corner of Smoot Avenue and Amador Street.
The council later convened in closed session for a performance evaluation of the city manager and reconvened with no reportable action. The minutes do not record a schedule for repair work or details about grant applications.
