Committee authorizes application for CDBG well-and-septic grant
Summary
The committee approved a request to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of about $198,000 to support well and septic projects, citing a strong local wait list and limited contractor availability.
The committee voted to authorize staff to apply for a Community Development Block Grant to support well and septic system projects, with staff indicating an application target of about $198,000.
Planning staff said demand is high: "we're gonna stay with a 198,000," and noted that the program used to fund more projects per cycle but now funds fewer because of contractor limits. Members discussed the applicant wait list and recommended demonstrating a large need in the application packet.
Staff said Arbor (a local housing/development partner) has been used to administer similar programs and can assist with outreach. The committee approved the authorization by voice vote; staff will return with application materials and will hold the required public hearing before submission.
