Commission approves administrative appropriation for Cusa Valley EPA grant application
Summary
Commissioners approved an appropriation to cover administrative costs for a previously secured $1 million appropriation to Cusa Valley; staff said grant-writing and engineering costs are expected and the EPA grant may cover certain administration/engineering fees.
The commission on June 23 approved an appropriation to cover administrative costs associated with a $1 million appropriation for Cusa Valley that the county previously secured with assistance from congressional offices.
Staff and commissioners discussed whether grant-writing and administration fees would be covered under the EPA grant. Commissioners were told grant-writing typically runs two to four percent of project value and that an EPA grant agreement remains pending; the county will not finalize its administrative-cost allocation until the EPA grant agreement is received. Chair Baitman asked whether the item should be tabled; the commission instead approved the appropriation and directed staff to finalize details once the EPA agreement arrives.
What happens next: Staff will receive the EPA grant agreement and then complete the administrative budget and reimbursements; commissioners will be updated when the grant agreement arrives.
