Mayor: Pacific sought $30 million in state flood recovery aid, $23 million earmarked for river dredging

Mayor Kave reported at the Jan. 26 meeting that the city submitted a $30 million request to the state to recover from damage caused by the 2025 flood and that roughly $23 million of that package is intended for dredging the river.

The statement appeared in the staff reports portion of the meeting record as an informational update; the minutes do not record any council vote or formal action on the request during the Jan. 26 session. The minutes also do not provide a timeline for state review, expected approvals, or details on how the dredging would be procured or scheduled.

The update signals that the city is pursuing state-level capital support for flood-response work. Further details, including application documents and next procedural steps, were not included in the published minutes and are "not specified."
