Summary
The Grafton City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1803 on Dec. 9, 2024, to apply for a $750,000 loan from the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality to replace Master and Monson lift station pumps and fund lagoon improvements; the resolution was introduced by Council member Greg Young and seconded by Brian Sieben.
The Grafton City Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1803 on Dec. 9, 2024, authorizing the city to apply to the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality for a loan of $750,000 under the Clean Water Act and/or the Safe Drinking Water Act to replace pumps at the Master and Monson lift stations and to finance lagoon improvements. The motion was introduced by Council member Greg Young and seconded by Council member Brian Sieben, with all eight members present voting in favor.
The resolution directs city staff to file the loan application with NDDEQ; council members did not set an expectation for immediate disbursement and noted approval by NDDEQ is a separate step. The meeting minutes record the adoption as a formal roll-call vote with no dissent.
Background: the resolution identifies the lift station pump replacements and lagoon work as capital improvements eligible for state loan assistance under federal statutes administered by the state. The council’s action authorizes application only — the loan must be reviewed and approved by NDDEQ before funds are released.
Next steps: city staff will prepare and submit the loan application and await NDDEQ review. No further procedural steps or timelines were specified in the minutes.
