City of Casey City Council met Oct. 15.
Here is the minutes provided by the council:
A Public Hearing was held Monday October 15th, 2018 beginning at 5:35 p.m. Alderman Todd motioned for Alderman Dane to serve as Chairman for this meeting and the Regular Council meeting, seconded by Alderman Williams. Chairman Dane called the Hearing to Order.
Present: Alderman Bob Dane, Pete Todd, Kelsey Washburn and Jerome Williams, Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Gail Lorton, Superintendent Biggs and Marcy Mumford.
Chairman Dane turned the meeting over to Kevin McReynolds with Coles Co. Regional Planning. Mr. McReynolds then explained the Grant Application Process with the following:
The City of Casey intends to apply to DCEO for $500,000.00 in CDBG grant funds for a waterline replacement project in the West part of town. West of Central Ave. over to NW 5th street South of US 40 and North of Main street. This project will replace existing 2” steel lines with 4” PVC and 6” transit with 10” PVC. The total project cost is $721,272.00.
The RLF will be used for activity delivery and construction engineering. The balance plus the local funds will be used for the remaining construction not covered by the grant.
We estimate that at least $340,000 of the $500,000 in CDBG grant funds requested will be used to benefit LMI residents in the target area. We estimate that at least $96,000 of the $141, 557.60 in RLF CDBG funds will benefit LMI residents in the target area. At least $436,000 of the CDBG (grant & RLF) funds will benefit LMI residents in the target area.
Plans for minimizing displacement of person due to the project are available at city hall. There will be no displacements of occupied households by this project.
Replacing these lines will alleviate threats to public health & safety for the residents in the target area. The existing lines are old and undersized. New leaks occur on a regular basis and are getting worse.
The City does not have enough money to undertake this project without the additional grant funds. The City will commit $79,414.4 from the general fund and $141,557.60 from the City’s RLF.
A prioritized list of community development and housing needs was put together:
1. New water lines NW town
2. Housing rehab program
3. New water lines SW town
4. Abandoned Houses & properties
After this Mr. McReynolds opened it up to the public for any questions. There were none. Chairman Dane asked the Council Members if there were any questions, hearing none, Chairman Dane called for adjournment of the Public Hearing at 5:45 p.m.
