Washington County commissioners approve $88,240 county match for Chartiers Creek HEC‑RAS engineering study
Summary
The Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution to provide $88,240 as the county15% match toward a HEC‑RAS hydraulic modeling study of Chartiers Creek; the measure passed by roll call vote.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt a resolution committing $88,240 in county funds as the required 15% local match for a HEC‑RAS engineering study of Chartiers Creek.
The countycontribution was presented by the chief clerk, who asked the board to adopt the resolution and noted the $88,240 amount will fulfill the required 15% match. The motion passed on roll call; commissioners answered "yes" during the vote.
Why it matters: HEC‑RAS studies produce hydraulic models used for floodplain analysis, infrastructure design and mitigation planning. Funding the study advances technical analysis that can inform future repairs, permitting or grant applications for drainage and stream-restoration projects in areas along Chartiers Creek.
What the meeting record shows: The chief clerk made the request in new business and the board approved the resolution; the transcript does not specify which department will administer the study, the total project cost, nor the funding source beyond the countymatch amount. No further discussion or timetable was provided in the minutes.
Next steps: The resolution was adopted; the transcript does not identify an implementation schedule or external grant source in the meeting record.
