Daniel holds second public hearing on CDBG-funded Storm Haven water master plan
Summary
Town staff said the town won a $48,750 CDBG award to pay Jones & DeMille to produce a Storm Haven water master plan covering demographics, water rights, storage, distribution and a prioritized list of improvements with probable costs; no public opposition was recorded at the hearing.
The Daniel Town Council and Planning Commission met May 20 for a special public hearing on a Community Development Block Grant award to prepare a Storm Haven water master plan. Chair (speaker 1) opened the hearing and asked residents to state their names before commenting.
Mary (speaker 4), who is handling the CDBG paperwork for the town, said regional review awarded the town $48,750 to retain town engineers Jones & DeMille to complete a capital facility plan. The scope, she said, will include community demographics, a population and future demand analysis, water-rights and source and storage reviews, a distribution and hydraulics analysis, and a recommended list of improvements with probable costs to give the town a prioritized capital program.
Mary told residents copies of the town’s capital investment plan are available at the town office for review. She said this was the second public hearing the town has conducted on the 2027 CDBG award (the first was held in December) and that the mayor volunteers as the project manager while Mary will manage the paperwork.
No members of the public stepped forward with comments during the hearing, and the chair closed the public comment period after no speakers came forward. The hearing record and copies of the capital investment plan remain available at the town office for anyone who wishes to review them.
The town did not take a final contractual action at the May 20 hearing; Mary said the award funds will be used to finish the master plan and to give staff a prioritized list of improvements and probable costs to inform future budget and grant decisions.
