City manager says West Linn is on House list for $747,000 in stormwater funding
Summary
The city manager reported that a congressional request for $1.25 million to fund a Bolton/Buck Street stormwater project was placed on a House-approved list at $747,000, but cautioned that appropriations must still clear further steps in Washington before funds are final.
City staff told the council that a congressional funding request submitted to Congresswoman Janelle Bynum for a Bolton/Buck Street stormwater project (requested amount $1.25 million) was proposed at $747,000 on a House-approved list. The city manager cautioned that federal appropriations remain subject to the congressional appropriations process and that the House list is only a step in a longer negotiation.
"That request was for 1,250,000, and, we were notified... we have been proposed to receive $747,000," the city manager said, adding that the amount is on the House-approved list and still needs to pass through subsequent appropriations and potential Senate negotiation. Council members thanked the congresswoman and noted the city will monitor the federal process as the bill moves through Congress.
