Medford committee approves hiring SEH to pursue wastewater Innovation Grant with Stetsonville
Summary
The Committee recommended hiring engineering firm SEH to prepare and administer a joint Innovation Grant application with Stetsonville; the grant would pay 25% of savings for up to five years, and the Committee approved splitting the $4,500 application-writing cost and any proceeds 50/50.
The Medford City Committee of the Whole on Jan. 12 recommended that the City Council approve hiring SEH to prepare and administer a joint Innovation Grant application with Stetsonville related to regionalizing wastewater services. Committee members said the State Innovation Grant would reimburse 25% of realized savings for up to five years provided the municipalities enter at least a three-year contract.
SEH, the wastewater engineer for both Stetsonville and Medford, proposed helping write and administer the grant application at an estimated cost of $4,500. The Committee recommended splitting the application cost and any grant proceeds evenly with Stetsonville. The motion was moved by Clem Johnson, seconded by Laura Holmes, and recorded as carried (all aye).
The Committee forwarded the recommendation to the full City Council for final approval. If Council approves, staff will proceed with SEH on the application and with the intermunicipal agreement required by the grant terms.
