Board follows up on Evergreen Community designation application; answers needed before March review
Summary
Poulsbo's application for Washington DNR 'Evergreen Community' status is pending; the board said staff is awaiting answers to application questions before the next rolling review in March and hopes designation will help prioritize state grants.
A board member asked about the status of the city's Evergreen Community designation application to the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Rachel described steps already taken — mayoral signoff and application progress — and said staff is waiting for a DNR reviewer to respond to a few application questions before the next rolling-review window in March.
Members said the designation could improve the city's competitiveness for certain state grants and emphasized completing any outstanding application items. Staff will continue follow-up with the DNR reviewer and report back when the application moves into the next review batch.
