Council signals support to seed stormwater grant pilot with roughly $422,000
Summary
Council discussed a stormwater grant pilot and debated amounts from $200,000 to $500,000; several members backed a $422,000 seed drawn from COLA savings, interest earnings and one-time revenue, and asked staff to return with program parameters.
Council revisited a previously proposed stormwater grant program and debated how much one-time funding to commit. Options discussed included $200,000, $300,000, $422,000 and $500,000; a combination of COLA savings and revised interest earnings were suggested as potential sources. One councilor summarized a proposed package of $422,000 (including recently identified COLA savings and $46,000 in interest earnings) as a reasonable seed for a pilot program.
Staff and council members emphasized that the amount is a placeholder: the next step is for staff to craft program guidelines, eligibility criteria and implementation rules so the grant program can be administered effectively and legally. Council asked for parameters and a framework to return for a future vote that would finalize program details.
