Summary
County staff requested and the board approved a $40,000 appropriation to the PSA to continue contractor work on water/sewer line extensions; staff said a materials grant covers 50% of materials and estimated the county could complete the project for about $180,000 versus outside bids of $500,000–$600,000.
The board approved a $40,000 appropriation to the PSA to fund contractor work on line extensions needed to meet project timelines. Mike Watson told the board the county had received a grant covering 50 percent of materials, that labor was estimated at $80,000, and that using the PSA and a local contractor would bring total estimated county costs to about $180,000 versus outside estimates he said ranged from $500,000 to $600,000.
Watson summarized the request: "I've requested tonight to have $40,000 appropriated to and paid to the PSA in order to allow a contractor to continue doing this." After questions about grant coverage and cost estimates, the board moved, seconded and recorded the appropriation vote in the affirmative.
