From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting the Central Net Operations Authority received a presentation from Townsend Public Affairs on grant opportunities and future funding avenues. The July 23, 2026 minutes said staff had brought back quotes from specialized firms for grant writing and identification services and that the Board asked Townsend Public Affairs to attend the next meeting. The discussion centered on whether the Authority could pursue grants through the JPA structure or leverage member-agency grant contracts and funding mechanisms.
Decision state: receive and file the presentation, with grant options still being evaluated.
