Mayor Heiken opened the public hearing on the waste water project at 7:00
Hughes from ECIGOG reported that the City’s proposed application for Wastewater Improvements, through the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, requires that the following topics be identified for consideration:
A. As concerned with how the need for proposed activities was identified, it is noted that proposed activity need has been identified because, due to inadequate capacity, the City’s wastewater treatment facility has greater frequency discharge than allowed and no longer satisfies requirements of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
B. As concerned with how proposed activities will be funded and the source of funds, it is noted that with proposed project cost estimated to total $1,039,328, financial assistance in the form of grant is being requested from the CDBG Program, to be combined with match to be secured from State Revolving Loan.
C. As concerned with the date the application will be submitted, it is noted that the CDBG Program funding application will be submitted to the Iowa Economic Development Authority for receipt by November 14, 2012.
D. As concerned with the requested amount of federal funds, it is noted that $300,000 is being requested from the CDBG Program.
E. As concerned with benefit from federal funding, local survey estimates that 60.1% of persons benefiting from the project will have low- to moderate-income.
F. As concerned with where proposed activities will be conducted, it is noted that the Wastewater Treatment Facility address is 8516 HWY 136.
G&H. As concerned with plans to minimize the displacement of persons or businesses as a result of funded activities, and plans to assist persons actually displaced, it is noted that because no property acquisition is proposed, there will be no displacement of persons or businesses as a result of funded activities.
I. As concerned with the nature of the proposed activities, it is noted that the project proposes to convert the City’s controlled discharge lagoon to a continuous discharge aerated lagoon.
Questions regarding the plans were asked. There will be a public hearing regarding the plans at a later date. A request to amend the grant can be made if plans are changed as was the case in the childcare project.
No papers filed for or against.
