Ozawkie opts not to join county’s Safe Streets grant at this time
Summary
Blue Valley Engineering described a federal Safe Streets for All grant and estimated Ozawkie’s buy-in at about $4,500 for phase one; the council decided Ozawkie would not participate.
Brandy Sutherland of Blue Valley Engineering briefed the council on the Federal Safe Streets for All grant, explaining a two‑phase process: phase one would fund planning work (lighting, speed studies) and phase two would provide construction funding. Sutherland said the buy-in cost for Ozawkie would be about $4,500.
Councilmembers asked whether the county could proceed if a city declined; Sutherland said the county could still advance the project but Ozawkie would not be included in the work. After discussion the council concluded Ozawkie would not move forward with participation at this time.
