Perry County approves resolutions to apply for multiple infrastructure and rehab grants
Summary
Perry County approved a slate of resolutions to apply for grants to fund sewer extensions, school sewer work and several rehabilitation projects, and approved a draw request for an earlier sewer phase. Most items were approved by voice vote with little recorded discussion.
Perry County’s governing body approved several resolutions to submit grant applications for infrastructure and rehabilitation projects during a brief, procedural meeting.
The presiding official opened the meeting by asking County Attorney Larry Jordan to lead an invocation; a prayer was delivered. The meeting then approved minutes from the previous meeting by voice vote. The body then moved through a series of grant-resolution items with motions and voice votes recorded as “Aye.”
The county approved a resolution to apply for a Government Resources Accelerating Needed Transformation (referred to in the transcript as “GRANT”) award to support the Linwood Wildcat coal lock project for $400,000. A motion to approve the resolution was recorded (motion by Church, second by Combs) and the measure passed by voice vote.
Officials also approved a resolution to apply for an ARC grant for the Upper 2nd Creek Sewer Extension Phase 2. The transcript notes that Phase 1 “went really well” and the body approved pursuing phase 2; the numeric amount in the transcript appears as “02/5000,” which is unclear in the record.
A resolution to apply for an ARC grant for the Zabiko List Station Rehab Project for $545,000 was approved after a motion and second. The body also approved a resolution to apply for an ARC grant for "Big O'Souwer Rehab phase 2" for $2,612,600; the project name appears as transcribed and may be misspelled in the record. The South Perry School Sewer Extension Project resolution to apply for $1,830,480 in ARC funding was likewise approved.
The meeting approved a draw request for the Upper 2nd Creek Sanitary Sewer Phase 1 project. The presiding official offered praise for the county’s grant department for securing and advancing multiple projects.
Motions and seconds were recorded in the transcript by name for individual items (examples recorded in the transcript include motions by Church and Combs and by Spencer). Votes were conducted by voice; the minutes record “Aye” responses for approval and do not record any recorded nays or roll-call tallies in the transcript.
The meeting adjourned after a motion by Spencer.
The transcript provides limited debate or substantive discussion on individual projects; the actions appear to be procedural approvals to pursue grant funding and to move existing projects forward. Several project names and one numeric amount in the transcript appear unclear or possibly mistranscribed and are noted above; the county’s official project list or grant applications should be consulted for formal project names, precise amounts and further details.
