Summary

Council learned a planning grant for an aquifer study was approved and that initial grant funds (about $15,000) are expected; staff said the town could later request up to $50,000 for study costs and list a larger $150,000 construction project on the CIB list.

Mayfield officials told councilmembers on April 1 that a planning grant application for an aquifer study was approved pending paperwork and that initial planning funds (about $15,000) will be sent soon. Chair reported Gerrick and others participated in the interview that led to approval.

Scope and budget prospects: Staff said the planning grant could cover the study phase and the town might later request additional funding if the study scope expands — up to $50,000 for planning and the town could later propose a construction project on the CIB list (staff suggested a possible $150,000 design/construction estimate for spring water recharge activities). Council agreed the aquifer study is a high priority and asked staff to add the project to the CIB project list.

Next steps: Gerrick will draft a study plan and the council will monitor CIB submission deadlines; no construction or appropriation was approved at the April 1 meeting.
