Rankin reconstruction proposed with water-line and storm-drain work; staff to explore grant eligibility
Summary
Staff said Rankin's project will include water-line replacement, storm-drain improvements and full pavement reconstruction, funded from water, EDC and storm-water capital funds; design and construction cost figures were presented but one construction total in the transcript was unclear.
Mara described Rankin as a reconstruction project that addresses aging water infrastructure and frequent flooding.
She said the scope "will include a water line replacement because it's an aging infrastructure and it will include storm drain improvements because currently it is flooding and it needs some improvement and a full pavement reconstruction." Mara said funding for Rankin would come from water, EDC and storm-water capital funds.
During questions a board member noted prior CDBG petitions for Rankin and adjacent streets; staff agreed to review whether those streets still qualify for grant opportunities and to explore options. Brady provided a brief design-cost figure during discussion; Mara and staff gave construction and total-cost figures in the transcript but portions of that sequence were garbled and require verification before publication.
The board did not take formal action on Rankin during the meeting; staff will return with refined cost and funding splits after grant eligibility and internal budget allocation are checked.
