Summary

The council approved a modified agreement to extend an Idaho Water Resource Board regional water sustainability grant (originally $182,500) so the city can be reimbursed for the roughly $76,000 remaining on a Clearwater River diversion feasibility study.

The city presented a modified grant agreement to the council to extend the term of a regional water-sustainability grant from the Idaho Water Resource Board tied to a Clearwater River diversion feasibility study.

Bill Belknap explained that an initial $182,500 grant agreement approved earlier had a 12-month term that expired before all work and invoices were completed, leaving about $76,000 still eligible for reimbursement. Belknap said the modified agreement extends the project schedule so the city can request reimbursement for the remaining amount; councilors had no substantive questions and approved the modification by motion and roll call.

No additional local match was described in the meeting; Belknap said the project is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year so the city can close the grant and receive the remaining funds.
