Denton seeks Senator Fischer funds for lagoon repair, plans income survey to support USDA package
Summary
Village staff recommended reallocating Senator Fischer grant funds from a drinking-water project to lagoon repair to strengthen a USDA funding package; trustees agreed to request reprogramming and to conduct a public income survey with NE Rural Water Association.
Village staff told trustees that applying Senator Fischer grant funds to lagoon repair and expansion would make the village’s USDA wastewater funding package stronger. Blackledge explained that moving those funds from a drinking-water project into wastewater work would be beneficial for the overall package and that staff would request the reprogramming.
Trustees also agreed to help conduct a public income survey with assistance from the Nebraska Rural Water Association; Blackledge said the income survey results could enhance eligibility or scoring for USDA funding. The board gave consensus to seek the reallocation and to proceed with the income-survey plan; no formal vote tally was recorded for this consensus direction in the minutes.
