Commissioners debate Hardy Lakes septic request as maintenance or eligible expansion
Summary
Staff said the Hardy Lakes project combines maintenance and capacity expansion because the existing drain field is failing and usage has increased; commissioners debated eligibility, whether to scale back the scope, and whether to split available funds among projects.
Commissioners spent substantial time discussing the Hardy Lakes septic request and whether it constitutes eligible expansion or ineligible maintenance. County staff said the drain field is failing and the project is both mitigation/maintenance and expansion to provide additional capacity for RV usage and future growth.
"So right now, we had a quote from the engineer who did the previous design 16 years ago... it was built by county forces at the time, and we don't know if that the specs were followed. That's why we're failing at this point," Chris said, urging the board that the project includes both repair and added capacity. Commissioners asked staff to consider a scaled-back application separating strictly expansion elements from maintenance, or to supply revised cost estimates; several commissioners supported funding the expansion component because it is revenue-generating for the park and responds to capacity constraints.
