Approval of previous meeting minutes:
Motion for approval- Kyle M
2nd- Bob S.
All approved
Review updated or revised reporting-We had no new reporting for prior funded projects. We
have an updated .09 contract with the county which has been approved by the Commissioners.
We will be using a templet now for better reporting with the County and the ADO, which will
make reporting more transparent.
Review of.09 funds balance-Todd reviewed the balance. The balance available is$881,000.
The prior obligation for Centralia funding was$800,093 and also the Economic Alliance funding
for$350,000 over 2 years has already been removed from this balance. Historically, we start
with 2 million and receive funds monthly, but we keep them in reserves. Discussion was had by
all about using .09 funds as matching funds which was decided that it could be.
CEDS List Report: Todd gave an update on the CEDS document,we had a change of adding in
additional flood mitigation,this was approved by the commissioners. In the future we will not
have .09 funds pass through the Economic Alliance.
Review of Applications-We have two applications to review.The first application is from
Centralia College for new permanent bleachers at the Bob Peters Field and the ask is $386,000
and the second is from The City of Napavine for the Jefferson Pump Station for$400,000. Each
organization gave a presentation about their ask of.09 funds, with supporting materials.
Application Amounts&Approvals- Discussion was had by all regarding the application
requests.
*Regarding the City of Napavine's request for funding for the Jefferson Pump Station, it will
open up huge growth and a lot of opportunity to the area. Napavine is in the process of
securing additional funding to meet the total project cost from REET, LOCAL loan from the
State, and the 408 Wastewater System Improvement Fund. It makes sense to fund this request.
A motion was made by: Lindsey P. "To Approve"the request of$400,000 for City of Napavine.
2nd by: Kyle M.
All Approved
*Regarding the Centralia College request for funding for new bleachers for the Bob Peters Field,
it was discussed at length as to whether this project was a good fit for .09 funds. After much
discussion it was decided that it was not a good fit for funding.
A motion was made by: Kyle M.to "Not Approve"the request from Centralia College for the
new Bleachers at Bob Peters Field.
