City explores grant options; Division of Drinking Water may recommend $150,000 grant for repairs
Summary
Staff reported a CIB application for $100,000 with a $50,000 city match and said the Division of Drinking Water is recommending a full grant (~$150,000) that would cover repairs without local match; a board meeting in St. George is scheduled to review the application.
Staff reported multiple options to fund needed water repairs. The CIB application would be a $100,000 award with a $50,000 local match, while the Division of Drinking Water was described as recommending a full grant that would cover the roughly $150,000 cost with no required city contribution. Staff said the drinking‑water board would meet in St. George on Thursday to finalize the application; if approved, design work and procurement could begin quickly.
Council members asked about timelines and contingencies if costs exceed the award. A council member noted the grant structure may include a caveat that the city would be responsible for any costs above the award amount. Staff replied that the Division of Drinking Water award would move fastest and, if approved, would allow plans to start soon. "It was basically a $100,000 grant, $50,000 the city would cover," staff said of the CIB submission; regarding the drinking‑water option, staff said, "they're currently recommending us for a full grant... so it'd be about a $150,000 grant."
