Board offers informal backing; staff to bring resolution and finalize TAP application
Summary
Board members voiced general support for pursuing TAP funding and for staff to finalize the bridge grant application; staff will prepare a resolution requiring a 20-year maintenance commitment and will add any required local match to the FY28 budget if the grant is awarded.
Board members gave informal endorsement for staff to proceed with the TAP grant application and asked staff to return with the required resolution for formal board approval. One board member emphasized patience and preference for leveraging grants where possible; another asked procedural questions about why the item was scheduled as a board staff session rather than a regular meeting.
“I'm okay…I like the idea of leveraging grant funds as much as it can and it takes an extra year or so,” Board member Chris said, expressing support for a grant-first approach. Staff said they need the board’s sign-off by Tuesday to meet the grant deadline and that the resolution will include a 20-year maintenance commitment and a statement that the county will provide matching funds if required.
There was no formal recorded motion or roll-call vote at this meeting. Staff will prepare the resolution for the next board meeting and finalize the TAP materials for submission by the stated deadline.
