Rockaway Beach council unanimously approves $75,000 in community grants
Summary
The Rockaway Beach City Council on May 13 approved Resolution No. 2026‑20 awarding the city’s large community grants. Councilors voted unanimously; combined with prior small grants, the city will distribute $75,000 in community grant funding this year.
The Rockaway Beach City Council voted unanimously on May 13 to approve Resolution No. 2026‑20, awarding the city’s large community grants for 2026. The motion to approve the resolution was moved during the meeting and carried with a unanimous vote.
During the brief discussion the council noted two grant applications had not been awarded money and said those matters were addressed in an earlier grant workshop. City staff and the planning commission had vetted the applications and the resolution implements their recommendations. “I move to approve Resolution Number 2026‑20, a resolution approving awards for the large community grants,” the councilor who moved the motion stated during the meeting. The presiding officer called the roll and the motion passed unanimously.
The action completes the cycle of community grant awards for the year; combined with earlier small‑grant awards the city will deliver $75,000 in community grant funds in 2026. The council did not provide additional details about the two unfunded applications during the public meeting; interested parties were directed to watch the prior grant workshop for full discussion.
Next steps: staff will proceed with grant administration and disbursement per the approved resolution.
