Commissioners discuss consultant plan to pursue congressional earmark for Guysville-Stewart sewer
Summary
A consultant proposal to pursue a congressional earmark for the Guysville-Stewart sewer (estimated $9M) was reviewed; the board asked Commissioner Chmiel to narrow the scope to Guysville-Stewart and confirm timeline and cost-sharing.
Commissioner Chris Chmiel reviewed a consultant proposal during the Nov. 25 meeting to pursue a congressional earmark for sewer projects, focusing on the Guysville-Stewart sewer (estimated $9 million). The proposal would retain the consultant at $7,500 per month for three months (reduced from $10,000), including DC lobbying support. Brent Hayes indicated support for the effort.
The board expressed caution about including separate projects (such as Canaanville) unless developers or private parties agree to cost-sharing; Commissioner Chmiel was asked to follow up with the firm to clarify whether a three-month engagement is sufficient, to narrow the scope to Guysville-Stewart, and to confirm start timing against the federal earmark calendar.
Next steps: Commissioner Chmiel will contact the consultant to confirm timeline sufficiency, scope, and possible cost-sharing arrangements if additional projects are to be included.
