RECOMMENDATION Fayetteville City Administration recommends approval of a resolution authorizing the Mayor to submit a State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) Program Application in the amount of approximately $286,400 from the US Environmental Protection Agency for sanitary sewer system improvements; designating the Mayor as the City's Authorized Representative in all matters relating to the procurement and administration of said grant. BACKGROUND Fayetteville has been informally notified by Arkansas Natural Resources Commission that it will be the recipient of approximately $286,400 in USEPA Grant Assistance from the STAG Program for 2009. This is the sixth of seven years that the City has received similar grants. This EPA grant funding was requested for sanitary sewer rehabilitation and is proposed to be merged into the City's ongoing sewer rehabilitation funding to accelerate the program. The EPA grant provides a maximum of 55% of the costs, with the remaining 45% ($234,328) being the required local match. DISCUSSION The exact grant amount will not be known until formal notification is received. As we expect to have less than two weeks between notification and the submission deadline we are requesting this resolution in advance. A sanitary sewer evaluation study (SSES) was completed in 2009 in the southern portions of Fayetteville and in Greenland. It is anticipated that these grant funds will be used for the rehabilitation design and construction based on the results of the 2009 SSES. BUDGET IMPACT Sanitary sewer rehabilitation is a budgeted project. The 2009 EPA Grant proceeds will be combined with the City's budgeted funds. A budget adjustment recognizing the grant revenue will be processed when the actual grant approval is received. STAGO9 App RequestCCMemol77une09 RESOLUTION NO.
