Summary

Members said a Greenway grant application for a kayak launch is about half done (approx. $250,000 request), with submission aimed for September and possible award in January; they agreed to notify nearby residents before final submission.

A board representative reported the Greenway grant for a kayak launch is roughly "0.5 done" and expected to be submitted by Sept. 10 with a standing committee review in November and award decisions in January. The speaker estimated the grant request at about $250,000 and said some in‑kind engineering work would be included.

Members discussed neighbor outreach and agreed the standing committee is likely to ask whether neighbors had been contacted; the group recommended starting that outreach because neighbors could object and affect review. "You may as well tell them," one member said when weighing notification against potential pushback.
