Council to seek grant to clear Vine Street stormwater basin after repeated flooding
Summary
Council authorized staff to seek a stormwater grant for Vine Street, citing repeated flooding and foundation concerns; the member requested quotes and estimated a project cost around $11,300.
A council member requested permission to apply for a stormwater grant to clean the Vine Street basin, saying the basin fills frequently and is compromising foundations and yards. "I would like permission to go for a grant, for the Vine Street, which is about 11,300 on this next cycle," the member said, and the board asked staff to obtain updated quotes and pursue available funding cycles.
Members agreed the project is a relatively inexpensive fix compared with potential property damage and directed staff to get quotes, pursue the current grant cycle (applications typically open in October with awards announced about 60 days later), or consider reallocating funds if necessary to complete the work before winter. The council authorized staff to proceed with the grant pursuit and to return with quotes.
