Public Hearing – Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Urgent Needs Application

The motion passed with Commissioners Jennings, Carolyn Riggs, Clayton Riggs, Andrews, and Chairman Jeralds voting aye; no Commissioner voting no; no Commissioner absent; and no Commissioner not voting.
Chairman Jeralds stated that notice of this public hearing has been placed in a local newspaper 10 days prior (on July 6, 2005) to the Hearing. The purpose of this Public Hearing is to explain Camden County’s proposed CDBG application and obtain citizen input. No written comments were received prior to the opening of the Public Hearing.
The County is in the process of applying for a $600,000.00 urgent needs grant to complete the sewer project.
The Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Urgent Need (CDBG-UN)- application will seek a $600,000.00 CDBG-UN Grant to be used with a $3,000,000.00 Rural Center Unsewered Communities Grant, a $400,000.00 Rural Center Supplemental Grant, a $2,546,011.00 Clean Water Management Trust Fund Grant, and $1,238,133.00 in local funds.
The $7,802,144 project will construct sewer collection, transmission and treatment facilities that will serve the County’s three (3) schools whose sewage flow exceeds the capacity of their individual sewage treatment systems as well as residences, businesses and offices located in the Camden Village area.
The County is seeking Urgent Needs funds as:
(1) the degree that sewage flow from the schools to individual sewage treatment facilities has exceeded treatment capacity has accelerated during the past eighteen (18) months resulting in increased pump and haul to avoid a public health risk;
(2) the proposed project will permit each school to abandon the use of individual sewage treatment facilities alleviating existing conditions;
(3) Camden County/Camden County Schools do not have additional resources to contribute to the project; and
(4) Camden County has exhausted other financial resources to alleviate the urgent need having secured $5,946,001.00 in committed grants funding toward the project.Skip Green, Grant Consultant, stated the Small Cities Community Development Block Grant is administered by the North Carolina Division of Community Assistance. The purpose of the program is to address health and safety conditions when there is a short fall of funds for infrastructure. Mr. Green further explained the grant process, and was available to answer any questions.
Chairman Jeralds called for any comments or questions from the public regarding a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Urgent Needs Application.
Perry Morrow, 150 Keeter Barn Road, stated he knew the legislature has not passed the North Carolina state budget, so there is a good opportunity that some of these grants will be cut from the budget.
Mr. Green explained the federal government provides CDBG grant funds to the state, the state then writes up the plans and within those plans, the state establishes different programs. The federal money is there but because the state is the actual administrator of the money, the individual commissions can not make grant offers until the budget is adopted.
Hearing no further comments from the public, Commissioner Clayton Riggs made a motion to close public hearing regarding a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – Urgent Needs Application. The motion passed with Commissioners Jennings, Carolyn Riggs, Clayton Riggs, Andrews, and Chairman Jeralds voting aye; no Commissioner voting no; no Commissioner absent; and no Commissioner not voting.
