everyone of the direction from the January advisory board meeting regarding
recommending funding the residential grant program. The only program not
funded was the Shoreline Stabilization Grant. Community members have
requested that the Advisory Board consider funding that program as well.
Ms. Forester reviewed the criteria of that program and requested the
Advisory Board consider funding the Shoreline Stabilization Grant similar
to the other residential programs, adding $25,000 to the budget -which would
allow for 5 grants at the maximum of $5,000 each, with priority given to
residential properties. Ms. Forester noted it will be brought forward to the
CRA Board at the February 11th meeting. Al Schantzen wanted to clarify
who can apply and what waterway is included. Steve Main mentioned that
the property owner would have to be within the CRA boundaries as well as
in the Haldeman Creek MSTU boundary since it is a CRA funded grant. Ms.
Forester stated that if the funding is approved, she will get clarification on
