Committee of the Whole: June 1, 2010

Water System at New Richmond Campus

Water tower has problems: Lead Paint, OSHA (ladders, guard rails)
$180K Replace piping (included in prices below)
Keep and fix water tower: $430,000
Connect to city water: $305,000

Grants may pay 30%
DNR grant: <30%. December preliminary application, June final application. City of N.R. already has application in process but may not have enough points by itself to get a grant. Still eligible for grant after construction starts.
Dept. of Commerce(CDBG): <25%. Probably won't fund just replacement – want expansion of services.
Combined project with city expansion is $1.8M - $2M (but county portion remains the same).

Could possible payment by rearranging recent bond money.
