City pursuing DEQ funds for wastewater plan; staff cites $100,000 forgivable loan
Summary
Staff reported applying for the first DEQ disbursement tied to the wastewater facilities plan; the plan carries a $100,000 forgivable loan if completed and the city will schedule a DEQ kickoff meeting to review planning requirements for funded projects.
The City Clerk told the council the city has applied for the first disbursement from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) tied to the wastewater facilities plan; the program provides a forgivable loan that can be drawn as eligible invoices are submitted.
"For our audience, we received a $100,000 forgivable loan if we finish the project for this plan," the clerk said, and staff described next steps: submitting invoices for reimbursement, transferring funds to the appropriate account, and scheduling a DEQ/engineer kickoff meeting to ensure the planning document meets funding requirements. Councilors discussed timing and who should attend the kickoff and that the mayor-elect could participate as appropriate.
