County opens second public hearing on CDBG septic assistance, details 50% reimbursement cap
Summary
Staff announced a second public hearing for CDBG round 63 projects and summarized the septic assistance: it reimburses 50% of costs up to $10,000 per household (e.g., $10,000 on a $20,000 system), requires proof of plans, estimates and proof of payment, and applicants are reimbursed after work and inspection.
Marie said the second public hearing for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) round 63 is forthcoming and staff described the program rules for septic repairs and replacements. "This 1, the CDBG, that is balanced septic for households," Marie said, explaining the program reimburses applicants for eligible work and requires documentation.
Staff clarified funding mechanics: the program typically covers 50% of eligible costs up to $10,000; for example, on a $20,000 system applicants could qualify for the $10,000 maximum, while an $8,000 system would qualify for $4,000. Program staff said applications were streamlined from a previous four-page form and notices were mailed this week. The committee treated the announcement as a noticed public hearing and carried the motion.
