Elnora council authorizes final draw to pay engineering invoice, closes out planning grants
Summary
The council approved a resolution to finalize three utility planning grants, authorizing submission of required documents to the state and a final draw to pay the engineering firm invoice; the firm’s invoice totaled $37,120 and the remaining grant balance available was reported as $36,000, leaving a town share of $1,120.
Elnora — The Town Council approved documents needed to close out three utility planning grants and authorized the final grant draw to pay the engineering firm’s invoice.
The chair reported that plans for three utilities were submitted to the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, which requested only minor changes and has now approved the plans. The council approved a resolution tonight so staff can submit the required paperwork to close out the planning grants and request the final grant draw to pay the engineering invoice.
The chair said the engineering firm’s final invoice is $37,120 and that the grant amount still available to request is $36,000; the chair explained the town would be responsible for the remaining $1,120 balance after the grant funds are drawn. Members agreed to sign the paperwork and provide minutes and a sign-in sheet to the state as part of the submission.
Why it matters: closing out the planning grant formally releases grant proceeds to pay the engineering work performed on the town’s utility plans. The council authorized the administrative steps needed to receive the final grant payment and to pay the engineering firm when grant funds arrive.
The council moved and approved the resolution to submit the final draw; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
