County seeks $60,000 DLCD grant to start Comprehensive Plan update
Summary
Planning Director Inga Williams said the Oregon DLCD offered a $60,000 reimbursable Technical Assistance Grant to begin a Comprehensive Plan update focused on community engagement and an audit of the current plan; commissioners approved acceptance and a possible local match from department funds.
Planning Director Inga Williams told commissioners she has applied for a two-year Technical Assistance Grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development to begin updating Union County's Comprehensive Plan. "The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development has offered a $60,000 grant that is reimbursable," Director Williams said; the scope would fund a community engagement plan, outreach, and an audit of the existing plan.
Williams said the department expects not to receive full funding for the total project and would stretch the work to a four-year timeline if necessary and seek additional funding in the next grant cycle. She noted a recommended $10,000 local contribution is not required and that her current budget includes $30,000 for consultant fees that could be used as local match if needed. Commissioner Scarfo moved to approve the grant as presented; Commissioner Seavert seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
