Mayor reports DOE talks and possible July appropriations decision for water tank, transit

Mayor Joette Langianese updated the council on infrastructure and funding matters at the May 26 meeting. She said she met with Department of Energy representatives about infrastructure and county liability, and that a July decision by Congress on appropriations could determine funding for a new water tank and the local transit system. The Mayor also said work is underway on the golf course master plan and economic analysis, noted sewer-odor concerns in the Mountainview neighborhood, and referenced the defunding of grants intended to mitigate water outfall in local wetlands.
