Resolution 2008-544

Mr. Musallam was present to update the Board on the last meeting with the entities involved in the Northeast Fulton County Water System.  He stated that at this time there are 3 stages that are to be initiated and requested direction and authorization from the Board.  He stated that the 1st stage was to proceed with the selection of an Engineer.  The ORC requires that a minimum of 3 Engineers are to be evaluated by a point system if the project is outside the public entity’s expertise.  He stated that he currently has some engineers on file and that some are outdated.  In that case he would need to do a formal Request For Qualifications and would need authorization of the Board to do so.  The next stage would be to draft the water service agreements with the entities involved.  An agreement must be in place to address their concerns and establish guidelines.  He stated that pre-applications are in place with funding agencies but the 3rd stage is to submit a formal funding application for those loans and grants.   As the outcomes of those applications come in, a better determination can be made as to the funding options available for the project.

 

Commissioner Barnaby made the motion to formally request qualifications for engineers and Commissioner Short seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

 

Commissioner Barnaby made the motion to authorize and direct the submission of funding applications for the project and Commissioner Genter seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.

Resolution 2008-545

Steve Brown, Regional Planning Director, was present as a follow up to Monday’s meeting regarding the approval of the CDBG Formula for FY2008. 

 

The total grant amount for the FY2008 CDBG Formula is $152,000.00.  This leaves an amount of $127,000.00 for disbursement after administration costs and fair housing fees are deducted.  There were 5 applicants that applied for funds:

 

  • The Village of Metamora for park improvements in the amount of $43,215.00
  • The Village of Fayette for the West Industrial Parkway  Sewer Improvements in the amount of $116,000.00
  • The City of Wauseon for Sidewalk Improvements in the amount of $40,000.00
  • Chesterfield Township to assist in the resurfacing on Twp Rd 16-3 from Rd. S to the State Line in the amount of $89,692.50
  • The Village of Fayette is requesting that their award of the FY07 CDBG funds in the amount of $40,000.00 to assist in upgrades to their sewer system and improvements to the lagoon be held over until next year.

 

After review and careful consideration, the Board of Commissioners approved the following formula to be submitted to the Ohio Department of Development:

 

  • The City of Wauseon for Sidewalk Improvements in the amount of $35,000.00
  • The Village of Metamora for Park Improvements in the amount of $52,000.00
  • The Village of Fayette in the amount of $40,000.00 to assist in upgrades their sewer system and improvements to the lagoon as applied for last year.  Last year’s award cannot be held over and must be re-allocated to assist with FY07 Projects. 

 

Commissioner Genter made the motion and Commissioner Short seconded the motion.  Motion carried unanimously.

 

It was further noted that the Board understands the need for the Village of Fayette’s Sewer Improvements to the West Industrial Parkway and feels that there are other funding options that may be more beneficial to them.  Steve Brown will be working with the Village to assist them in this process.
