Summary
Council approved Water Grant Disbursement 3 for $29,913 and reported that RH‑2 engineering is preparing a feasibility study with a target delivery by the end of October; the city's water‑rights application is under review by the Army Corps of Engineers.
The Shady Cove City Council on June 4 approved a Business Oregon drawdown (Water Grant Disbursement 3) for $29,913 to bring the water project account current. Mayor Lena Richardson moved the measure and Councilor Mitchell seconded; the minutes record that "The Motion carried 4-0." The minutes note the disbursement included a deduction for prior misuse of grant funds applied to an administrative salary not related to the water grant.
Councilor Nuckles summarized the city’s agreement with Business Oregon that future drawdowns will be approved by council to prevent further misuse. RH‑2 engineering reported that the field survey of the proposed intake is complete, preliminary environmental assessment work is underway, and findings will be integrated into the draft feasibility study expected by the end of October. The city’s water‑rights application is listed as complete and in review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Council recorded the action as bringing the city's grant status "100% back on track" with Business Oregon, according to the minutes. The feasibility study and the Corps’ review were identified as the next major technical milestones for the project.
