County staff seeks approval to move forward with three septic repairs under LAP grant

Franklin County Board of Commissioners · January 21, 2026

Summary

County staff told commissioners three local properties have applied for septic repairs or replacements under a Local Assistance Program grant. Staff said available LAP funds were nearly exhausted but the county recently received a $75,000 allocation and requested verbal agreement to proceed with repairs.

County staff presented three Local Assistance Program (LAP) applicants seeking septic repairs or replacements at 4423 Rock Creek (possible new lagoon), 4033 Nevada Road (system daylighting), and 1245 Leette Road. The staff member said the work is intended to mitigate potential spread of communicable disease and improve failing systems.

The staff member explained available funds: "So, the 50,000 we're down to about $4,683," the staff member said, and added the county recently received a new allocation of $75,000, which will allow the department to accept new applications. Staff asked the commission for a verbal agreement to move forward with transferring state funds to property owners for repairs.

Commissioners did not object, and staff said they would continue testing wells and processing applicants. The presentation emphasized public‑health benefits of replacing failing systems.
