La Cygne staff report USDA audit of sewer rehab project and recent water-plant grant application
Summary
City staff reported a USDA financial audit is underway for the Sewer Rehabilitation Project and that a grant application for clearwell improvements at the Water Treatment Plant was submitted Sept. 3; USDA confirmation on project dollars is expected before committing to a lagoon-desludging bid.
City Clerk Jodi Wade told the council that the Sewer Rehabilitation Project (BG Consultants) is undergoing a USDA financial audit; Wade submitted revenue and expense reports and invoices for review and said USDA should confirm project dollars by the following week before committing to a sewer lagoon desludging bid.
Wade also reported that a grant application for clearwell improvements at the Water Treatment Plant was submitted Sept. 3. Public Works Superintendent Dan Nasalroad said the new carbon feeder had arrived and that lead-and-copper inventory work was nearly complete and would be submitted.
Why it matters: USDA confirmation affects whether the city can proceed with desludging work and commit to contractor bids; grant funding for the clearwell could affect capital improvements to water treatment infrastructure. The council did not take final action but recorded staff updates and next-step expectations.
