approval of the wetland fill associated with this area.

excluding Phase III would be allowable as it was felt that it would develop at some time in the
future.

desired to place restrictions on the undeveloped area as the City did not want ownership if the

ownership.

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.
