Jenkins council authorizes CDBG disaster-recovery applications for Grandview sewer and water
Summary
The Jenkins City Council voted to authorize two Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery applications for Grandview: up to $3,433,900 for sewer improvements and roughly $1.32 million for water improvements, and authorized the mayor to file and sign application materials.
The Jenkins City Council on Jan. 6 authorized two Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) applications for infrastructure work at the Grandview site, approving a sewer request for up to $3,433,900 and a separate water request of roughly $1.32 million.
Clerk (speaker 2) read the two resolutions on the council agenda that outline federal and state certification requirements under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and related regulations. The resolutions authorize the mayor to prepare and submit the applications and to act as the city’s official correspondent with the Kentucky Department of Local Government’s Division of Community Programs.
Mayor (speaker 1) moved to adopt the sewer resolution; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The council then moved, seconded and adopted the water-resolution authorization by voice vote.
The clerk’s reading of the sewer resolution cited the Title I program and listed required certifications, including civil‑rights compliance, citizen participation, relocation requirements, acquisition standards and the National Environmental Policy Act. The water-resolution text included similar certifications and set a maximum grant amount in the text of the resolution.
The council did not read an itemized project scope into the meeting record beyond identifying the work as Grandview sewer and Grandview water improvements; details on project design, schedule, or matching funds were not specified on the record. The clerk’s reading referenced the Kentucky Department of Local Government as the receiving agency.
Next steps are administrative: the mayor is authorized to file the applications and provide required documentation to the state; the resolutions do not themselves commit local matching funds or set construction schedules.
