Council adopts Resolution 437-25 to appoint engineer and grants administrator for wastewater CDBG
Summary
Council read and approved Resolution 437-25 to appoint an engineer of record and a grants administrator for a Community Development Block Grant wastewater project; members also discussed DEQ review of prior work and the status of grant funds.
The chair read aloud a revised resolution (No. 437-25) to appoint the city's engineer of record and a grants administrator for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) wastewater improvement project; the council moved to approve the resolution as corrected and voted in favor. The resolution text read that the city "has been awarded a community development block grant from the state of Oregon for improvement in city's wastewater infrastructure" and names were read from the draft during the meeting.
Council members then discussed ongoing interactions with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), noting the agency is reviewing prior work back to 2011. The chair said the city's representative, Robert, is speaking with DEQ staff and "seems to be making a little headway" persuading them to moderate any retroactive findings. Members emphasized the importance of moving the wastewater project forward while tracking compliance and grant-release timing.
