Denton trustees back shifting Senator Fischer funds to lagoon repairs, agree to income survey for USDA package
Summary
Village staff recommended shifting a Senator Fischer grant from a drinking-water project to wastewater lagoon repair/expansion to strengthen a USDA funding package; the board agreed to request reallocation and to help conduct a public income survey with Nebraska Rural Water Association.
Village staff explained to the Board of Trustees that reallocating Senator Fischer grant funds from a drinking-water project to wastewater (lagoon repair/expansion) would strengthen the village’s USDA funding application and package. The board agreed by consensus to request that Senator Fischer's funds be moved to the lagoon project and to assist with a public income survey coordinated with the Nebraska Rural Water Association to bolster the USDA application.
Blackledge told trustees that the lagoon needs both expansion and significant repair; the transcript records that some lagoon piping is about 50 years old. The board also discussed how the income survey results could enhance the USDA package and asked staff to reach out to the Nebraska Rural Water Association for assistance.
