The City of Hartsville | Agenda Date:
12/11/2018 | To: City Council | From: City Manager |
Ordinance Number: Resolution Number: 12-18-03 - REGULAR MEETING | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| ORDINANCE/RESOLUTION CAPTION: | | Resolution Authorizing the Submission of an Application to the State of South Carolina Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| BACKGROUND SUMMARY: | | The proposed CDBG grant ($750,000) will provide sewer improvements to the South Park area of the city through upgrading sewer lines and the pump station that have outlived their useful life. A 10% match is required and it will benefit the Hartsville Housing Authority and surrounding neighborhood which is predominantly low and moderate income (LMI). |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| IMPACT IF DENIED: | | The pump station is at risk of a total system failure resulting in sewerage back flows to occur and lines will continue to deteriorate. Additionally, the city would have to fund the project in its entirety in the near future instead of utilizing grant funds to help offset costs. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| IMPACT IF APPROVED: | | The city can make application to the state and implement an important project that benefits low and moderate income residents through a grant that would pay for approximately 90% of costs. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | |
| FINANCIAL IMPACT: | | This grant requires a 10% match from the city which can be cash or in-kind. The grant funding proposed would be approximately 90% of costs. |
