Board recommends taking lead-service financing options to City Council for decision
Summary
After an extended discussion of inventory, costs and funding trade-offs, the Board recommended the matter be presented to the full City Council, and staff was asked to prepare additional materials and draft ordinance language if Council wishes to pursue a Financial Assistance Program.
Following a lengthy presentation and questions, a board member recommended the lead-service-line financing discussion be forwarded to the full City Council for policy and budget decisions; another board member seconded the recommendation.
A staff member said the board's input would help shape the council presentation and that staff would include examples from peer cities, draft ordinance language required for an FAP and more precise cost estimates once hydrovac and inspection results are in. "I think 2 people should not make a decision on this bigger budget," the chair said, urging referral to the council. The board's referral sets the path for council-level decisions about whether to chase grant funding, adopt an FAP, or use general-fund or other sources.
