Council approves submission of homeowner stormwater grant for 96 Wilky Way
Summary
The council approved submitting a homeowner stormwater grant application for drainage improvements at 96 Wilky Way; the town’s program reimburses 90% of eligible costs and the homeowner covers 10%; the application will proceed to an agreement step if approved by staff.
The Fletcher Town Council voted to approve submission of a homeowner‑initiated stormwater grant application for improvements along approximately 170 feet of drainage at 96 Wilky Way.
Town staff described the project as removal and reshaping of a drainage ditch, installation of fabric and riprap, and limited tree removal to regrade and stabilize the slope. Under the town’s grant guidelines, the program reimburses 90% of eligible project costs and the homeowner is responsible for the remaining 10%. The homeowner who submitted the application agreed to those terms.
An advisory panel consisting of town staff reviewed the application and recommended approval. Staff said a preconstruction meeting had been held and that final reimbursement will follow a post‑construction agreement and submittal for reimbursement per program rules.
A motion to approve submission was made and seconded; the council approved the submission by voice vote. The motion did not specify mover or second on the transcript and no formal recorded tally was provided in the minutes.
Staff said the low‑bid ceiling referenced in the meeting was not clearly specified in the transcript record; project details and the final contract price will be confirmed during the agreement and bid phase prior to reimbursement.
