Funding for the project is provided from a variety of sources including the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC). To secure the CPUC funding, a grant application must be submitted by
April 1, 2015, if the project is to proceed to construction Spring 2016. A certified resolution of the City
Council stipulating to the follow points must be included in the application package.
