Regional water group seeks startup funds, aims to speed projects
Summary
A new Lower Columbia Basin Water Committee presented a mission and initial project list and asked participating counties, ports and partners to request $10,000 each for startup funding as it forms a legal entity to advance water-quality and quantity projects.
Presenters described formation of a Lower Columbia Basin Water Committee intended to move water-quality and quantity projects to implementation more quickly than existing structures.
The group outlined a mission statement, an initial project list and a selection process; members discussed creating a legal entity for fiscal management. Presenters said members agreed to ask their boards for $10,000 each in start-up funding; commissioners asked whether tribes and ports had committed and whether funding would be public or private. Presenters said tribes had not yet committed and that the initial funding approach relies on private and industry contributions but would not exclude government money if available quickly.
