Council commits local match for Babcock Street Community Access Program (Resolution #2026-10)
Summary
The council approved Resolution #2026-10 to pursue South Dakota DOT Community Access Program funds for Babcock Street, accepting responsibility for engineering costs and a minimum 20% local match; the city also agreed to maintain the route after construction.
On July 20 the Kimball City Council approved Resolution #2026-10, a local-commitment resolution that authorizes the city to seek Department of Transportation Community Access Program funds to improve a segment of Babcock Street.
The resolution states the program is an 80/20 grant, with the City of Kimball responsible for at least twenty percent of construction costs, all engineering expenses, and ongoing maintenance and repairs to the route after construction. The mayor is authorized to execute the Community Access Program application.
Councilmembers voted 5-0 to approve the resolution. The minutes note that the city lacks adequate funding to complete the project without assistance, and that the mayor is authorized to sign the required application documents.
