Wade Trim presents phased timeline for White Cloud Dam planning and fundraising
Summary
Engineering firm Wade Trim outlined a six-phase timeline for analyzing, selecting, funding and constructing a preferred alternative for the White Cloud Dam, with construction anticipated to begin in late 2027 pending design, fundraising and bidding steps.
Wade Trim presented a multi-phase planning timeline for the future of the White Cloud Dam at the City Council meeting on Dec. 2, 2025.
The timeline in the packet and discussed at the meeting divides the effort into six phases: Phase 1 — Analysis and data collection (Fall 2025–Spring 2026); Phase 2 — Preferred project selection (Spring–Summer 2026); Phase 3 — Fundraising and grant efforts (Summer 2026–Summer 2027); Phase 4 — Preferred alternative design (Summer 2026–Summer 2027); Phase 5 — Bidding and contractor selection (Summer–Fall 2027); Phase 6 — Construction (late 2027–TBD).
Council received the timeline for review and was advised that Phases 3–6 depend on successful fundraising, grant awards and design approvals. The minutes list the timeline as informational; no formal action or vote on a preferred alternative occurred at this meeting. Staff and engineers will return with further data and recommendations as the study progresses.
The packet did not specify estimated costs, funding sources in detail, or precise construction start/finish dates; those details will be developed in the preferred-alternative and fundraising phases.
