Summary
Rich and Shana Palmer told the council of persistent drainage problems at their 304 11th Street SE home; the council approved a grant of up to $8,400 under the 2021 Footing Drain Program after staff confirmed the property qualifies.
Rich and Shana Palmer asked the Altoona City Council on April 7 for additional funding to complete footing-drain work at their home at 304 11th Street SE. Public Utilities Director Dan Scott told the council the property qualifies for the 2021 Footing Drain Program and that staff recommendations were included in the meeting packet.
The Palmers described prior efforts to address the outside drain and asked the council for assistance to complete work and comply with the program. Councilmember Evans moved to approve participation in the grant program for the Palmers' property with a grant cap of $8,400. The motion passed by roll call (4-1).
The council’s action directs Public Utilities to facilitate the grant payment and track completion of the work. No additional details about the planned contractor, timeline or exact scope were provided at the meeting; those details were listed in staff packets, the transcript states.
The mayor and council then moved on to other agenda items; the meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m.
