Council approves reapplication and fee to pursue state water/wastewater funding
Summary
The council voted to approve reapplying for state financial assistance for a water/wastewater project and agreed to pay the application fee; the motion passed by voice vote with three recorded 'aye' votes in favor at the meeting.
The council voted to approve reapplying for state financial assistance for a water/wastewater project and authorized payment of the application fee to the water board.
A staff member explained the town’s prior application had been placed on a priority list but did not receive funding; the current application requires a financial assistance fee paid to the state water board so the application can be reviewed. Council members discussed scoring factors used by the funder — population, median household income, prior DEQ enforcement actions, and project readiness — and staff said the town scored well previously and remains eligible to reapply.
Councilmember (mover not recorded) made a motion to approve reapplication and payment of the fee; Councilmember Oliver seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote: “Aye. Aye. Aye.” The transcript records three recorded ayes and no recorded dissent. The council did not adopt specific project plans at the meeting; staff said prior approvals and design work remain valid and the vote authorizes reapplying for funding.
