From the meeting
The goals update recorded that the City was pursuing state and federal grants for infrastructure, housing, water, and other priorities. It said Parks had applied for an Urban Greening Grant and was not selected, and that Utilities was pursuing funding with California Consulting for a Clean Air Grant Program opportunity of up to $250,000 toward replacement of the Wastewater Treatment Plant generator. The update also referenced a potential $2 million federal earmark through WRDA for water infrastructure improvements.
The document shows active grant seeking rather than an award.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
