## **RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE SUBMISSION OF CONSOLIDATED FUNDING APPLICATION (CFA) GRANT FOR SEWER PHASE II PROJECT**
WHEREAS clauses:
-, the Village of Red Hook plans to expand the Sewer Use Area beyond the current area to support the protection of our water supply and to encourage appropriate development for the Village, especially housing
-, and
WHEREAS, the Village Engineer, Delaware Engineering, completed an Engineering Report for this project to expand the current Sewer Use Area to include an additional 170 properties adding an additional 175,000 gallons per day (gpd) capacity to the Village'’s WWTP operations
-, and
WHEREAS, the Town of Red Hook has requested 50,000gpd dedicated capacity to service their Traditional Neighborhood District to the south of the Village for their proposed Sewer District, for which the Town would contribute the capital costs associated with that construction
-, and
WHEREAS, there are several potential housing projects in development in the Village which are made possible by being on the Village sewer system
-, and
WHEREAS, the probable cost of the total project including the Town of Red Hook'’s 50,000gpd dedicated capacity is estimated at $19.5MM
-, and
WHEREAS, to receive consideration for various grant funding opportunities for this infrastructure expansion through NYS'’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA), including the Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) program, an application needs to be submitted by July 31
-, and
WHEREAS, the Village continues to review the specifics of the project expansion including a more in-depth review of the current location and the wetland into which the current WWTPs discharge, this funding will allow us to continue that work
-, and
WHEREAS, this action does not commit the Village to proceed with the project or exactly as it is proposed in the Engineering report, but there is a benefit to proposing the largest option being considered because the funding is a percentage of the total project cost and will not be increased if the project size or project costs increase
.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED clauses:
-that the Village Board of Trustees authorizes the Mayormayor to submit a WQIP Grant application for the Sewer Phase II Project, due on July 31, 2025.
