Sanford council approves FEMA-linked parking and boat-launch plans with local cost shares
Summary
The Village of Sanford approved a $45,000 parking quote contingent on FEMA approval and a $100,000 boat-launch bid requiring a 10% local match ($10,000). Both motions passed unanimously at the Sept. 8 meeting.
The Village of Sanford council voted Sept. 8 to approve two infrastructure projects tied to FEMA Public Assistance funding.
Marcus Thrush moved to accept Pat's Gradall's $45,000 quote to add parking in the village, contingent on FEMA approval; Leah Ziems seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Village President Dolores Porte said she will request a wheelchair-access curb cut and a separate quote to add parking on the south side of the road.
Separately, Carl Hamann moved to proceed with a $100,000 bid for a boat launch, including engineering by Spicer; Don Whaley seconded and the council voted unanimously to move forward. The council recorded the village's estimated local share at 10 percent, or $10,000.
The votes formalize the projects pending any required FEMA approvals and engineering review. Council members did not amend the dollar amounts at the meeting and did not provide a construction schedule; FEMA approval and the engineering design by Spicer will determine timing and final scope.
Next steps listed in the meeting minutes include seeking FEMA's formal approval for the parking project and moving forward with the boat-launch contract procurement and engineering work.
