Why This Vote Matters
The city will pursue federal stimulus funding from the Department of Energy for its Greenprint environmental initiative. Staff will work with consultant Glen Price to prepare the grant application, and the city will also ask Congressman Miller to include the project in upcoming transportation legislation. The council approved this with broad support in a 6-0-1 vote, with only Councilmember Viramontes abstaining. This is a routine step that allows staff to explore federal funding opportunities without committing city money upfront.
