Summary
A Westfir homeowner urged the city to consider drainage improvements for the 1st/2nd Street Loop in the Lane County NHMP; he noted eligible mitigation projects can access federal and state grants through 2028.
Adam Kennedy, a Westfir homeowner, asked the Council to consider the “Drainage Improvements for 1st/2nd Street Loop” listed in Section 10 of the Lane County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. Kennedy emphasized that mitigation projects identified in the NHMP are eligible for federal and state grant funding through 2028 and discussed applying for grants through the City to address chronic drainage problems.

No formal motion or funding commitment was made at the meeting; the discussion identified a possible path to apply for external grants should the City choose to prioritize the project.
