POSSIBLE GRANT FUNDING FOR RESTROOM Grant Coordinator Carol Coyle discussed possible grant funding through Waterways Improvement Funds, which comes from boater registration fees at the state level. The grant application questions include: how the project would benefit boaters, the urgency of the need, and health & safety issues. This is a very competitive grant process. A match is not required, but is necessary to be competitive. She noted that engineering & design work can be considered as a match. The match amount should be 25%-40%. Carol requested that if the Board is interested in pursuing this grant, she will need to know what project they would like to request money for (e.g., restroom in parking lot), as well as a design and cost estimate. Since the grant application is due January 29th, she will need a decision to be made at the December urban renewal meeting. 8.
