Committee urges quick project description and seed funding exploration for grants
Summary
Members said finalizing a project description is needed so grant applications can proceed; they discussed "Padre" phasing, a possible $100,000 initial self-funded phase, and phasing to start an EIR while seeking additional funds.
Committee members stressed the need to complete a project description so the district can pursue grants and begin environmental review. Chair said the district has "Padre" phasing waiting for a project description and that having a project description will enable grant-seeking and phased work.
Discussion included the possibility of using a modest initial allocation (one speaker mentioned "if we've got a 100,000, we can spend to get them out of the gate") to start early work while seeking funds for later phases. The committee asked staff to scope what could be started with limited district funding and to include those options in the February workshop materials.
