Council approves $136,106.75 Rainy Day Fund match for Community Crossings road projects, 6–1
Summary
Steuben County Council voted 6–1 on Oct. 11, 2016, to appropriate $136,106.75 from the Rainy Day Fund to meet the 50% local match required by a Community Crossings grant that will fund four road projects in 2017.
The Steuben County Council voted 6–1 on Oct. 11 to appropriate $136,106.75 from the Rainy Day Fund to cover the county’s required local match for a Community Crossings grant. Highway Engineer Jennifer Sharkey told council officials the county had received $415,674.26 in Community Crossings funds for seven road projects; three were completed in 2016 and four are scheduled for 2017, which triggered the need for the local match.
Linda Hansen moved to appropriate the Rainy Day Fund match and Ken Shelton seconded. The motion carried with six ayes and one nay from Wil Howard, who is recorded in the minutes as opposing the appropriation. The minutes record the council’s acknowledgement that the match is a state requirement tied to the Community Crossings grant program.
Sharkey said the Rainy Day Fund appropriation would satisfy the state requirement that the county provide a 50% local match for the remaining projects. The minutes contain no further detail on which specific road segments will be completed in 2017 or the timeline for each project.
