County engineer seeks authorization to apply for $288,000 Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant
Summary
Butler County’s engineer asked the commissioners for permission to apply for a U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant for a countywide safety study; the grant request was estimated at $288,000 with a $72,000 local match.
The Butler County engineer asked the Board of County Commissioners for authorization to apply for a federal Safe Streets and Roads for All planning grant to produce a countywide safety plan.
County staff told the board the planned grant request would be $288,000 with a required local match of $72,000 to complete the Butler County Safe Streets and Roads action plan. Administrator Bueno said the engineer had requested permission to apply and also requested that commissioners consider signing a letter of support; staff supplied a draft letter that is similar to one the board approved last year.
The administrator read the engineer’s request to the board and noted the local match amount and target program. Commissioners did not record additional conditions on the application in the meeting transcript; staff said a letter of support was available for signatures if the commissioners wished to provide one.
No formal vote specifically to authorize the grant application appears in the meeting transcript. The item was presented during the community development/engineer portion of the agenda and staff advised the commissioners on next steps for securing the local match and preparing the application.
