Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: February 9, 2004
To: Phil Shealy, City Manager
From: W.C. Casey, Director of Public
Works
Subject: ADEC Grant for Water Source Study
________________________________________________________________
______
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
In 2003, the Water Department applied for a grant with the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation. On January 9, 2004, the City of Seward was
formally
offered the grant, in the amount of $99,800. This ADEC Grant (#76912) is a
70/30
matching grant, which means that ADEC will fund $99,800, and the City’s match
will be
$42,772, for a total project cost of $142,572.
The purpose of this matching grant is to fund an assessment of the Water utility.
The
assessment will tell us what modifications are needed in the Water utility in order
to
comply with State and Federal Drinking Water Regulations. Because there are
many
drinking water regulation changes on the horizon, this assessment will allow the
City’s Water utility management to take a pro-active approach.
More specifically, this grant will finance assessing any modification needed to
comply
with existing drinking water regulations and the upcoming Groundwater and
Radionuclide Rules. Alternatives for upgrades and cost estimates, including
operational
costs, will be identified. An implementation plan for water system capital projects
and an
environmental plan will be developed. Monitoring equipment to collect data, may
be
included. Preliminary design may be performed as funds allow.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
1. Comprehensive Plan Yes
2. Department Goals Yes
FISCAL NOTE:
The funds for the City’s match, totaling $42,772, are coming from the Water
Enterprise
Fund Retained Earnings account.
