He stated that the County Page 3 of 7 City of Centerville Council Meeting Minutes February 13,2019 requested slight modifications and that he believed that the City had a good chance of funding. He explained that there were two (2) paths that the City could take Path A which was an area wide benefit if 51% of the individuals in the area income qualify they would receive and share grant dollars or Path B which would not require the 51% requirement but only be available to those that meet the income guidelines for qualifying. He stated that the original submittal was for the area wide benefit. He also stated that Path B would allow a turn-key installation from the curb to inside the home for free for those that qualified. Discussion ensued that the County has loans that are available for these types of connections similar to the City's assessments which may be an option for those that do not income qualify. Administrator Statz stated that the City would be asking for the same amount in funding. Discussion also ensued regarding if successful and the City chose not to complete the project would there be any harm and Administrator Statz stated that we would then decline the money if it was not advantageous to the City/project. He also stated that if only two (2) residents participated the City would utilize funds for them and return the remainder of the grant dollars to the pool at the County.
