Commission authorizes Silver Springs GID to apply for state capital grant for wastewater filtration work
Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing Silver Springs General Improvement District to apply for approximately $777,077 (note: transcript formatting ambiguous) in state capital grant funds toward a recycled-water filtration rehabilitation project; staff said the funding would be matched or used if the state program funds are awarded.
The Lyon County Board of Commissioners voted May 15 to approve a resolution authorizing the Silver Springs General Improvement District (SSGID) to apply for state capital grant funds for a recycled-water filtration rehabilitation project at the district's wastewater treatment plant.
Utilities staff said the request seeks grant assistance for a project budgeted in the district's capital plan (the staff cover memo listed a project estimate near $777,077; packet language reflected the application amount and program name). County staff noted the application is required to secure potential funds proposed in the state budget; if successful, the grant would support planned rehabilitation work at the Silver Springs plant.
Action: The board authorized the utilities director to submit the grant application and related documents on behalf of the district. The motion passed 5'to'0.
No additional county appropriation was approved at the meeting; the vote authorized pursuit of grant funding only.
