CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Fayetteville City Council
Thru: Mayor Lioneld Jordan
Don Marr, Chief of Staff
From: David Jurgens, Utilities Direct
Water and Sewer Committee
Date: June 17, 2009
City Council Meeting of July 7, 2009
Subject: Resolution authorizing the Mayor to submit a State and Tribal Assistance Grant Application
for approximately $286,400 from the USEPA for sanitary sewer rehabilitation; designating the Mayor
as the City's Authorized Representative in all matters relating to the procurement and administration of
said grant.
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.
