We are pleased to announce that the City of Fernley received up to$3,835,700 in appropriations sponsored by our federal delegations. The breakdown is as follows: • In the Interior FY2010 Appropriations bill, Fernley received $300,000 from Senator Reid, Senator Ensign, and Congressman Heller towards the Mechanical Dewatering project. • In the Energy and Water FY2010 Appropriations bill, Fernley received a soft earmark of $1,500,000 from Congressman Heller on the House side for the Water Intake Facility. We will have to work with the Army Corps of Engineers to further secure this funding. This funding would come from the Rural Nevada 595 account administration by the Army Corp of Engineers. We will likely have to wait in line to secure this funding. • In the Energy and Water FY2010 Appropriations bill, Fernley received $1,500,000 from Senator Reid for Water Settlement Funding. • In the Transportation portion of the FY2010 Omnibus bill, Fernley received $535,700 from Senator Reid for the Nevada Pacific Parkway. In the months of February through May, 2010, the federal agencies will be contacting city staff to begin the process of receiving funding.
