HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2008-02-21, Page 15THE CITIZEN. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2008. PAGE 15.Huron East council approved amotion and passed a bylaw that willsubmit an application to
Infrastructure Ontario in the amount
of $627,000 for the Brussels
southwest area servicing project.
Approved at its Feb. 5 meeting,
Huron East is asking for 50 per cent
of the total cost of the project, with a
total cost of $1,255,000.
Treasurer Brad Knight said that
there are several applications for this
funding throughout the county with
amounts spanning from $200,000 to
$4.9 million with percentages
ranging from 14 per cent of the
final cost all the way up to 100 per
cent.
Knight advised that asking for 100
per cent of the funding for the
project may not be a wise move and
that 50 per cent shows a
commitment on Huron East’s end ofthe deal.The grant application has a fastturnaround. Applications have to besubmitted soon and grants that areawarded will be delivered tomunicipalities by March. Any
money awarded will have to be used
in 2008.
The funding announcement was
made on Dec. 21, 2007, guidelines
for the applications were released on
Jan. 11 and the deadline for
applications is Feb. 15.
This funding initiative is similar to
the rural infrastructure program of
2007, where 190 municipalities
received $140 million among them
all. Huron East took advantage of
the 2007 funding with a similar
application, asking for 50 per cent,
or $633,500 of the Vanastra sewage
project.
This year’s funding initiative is
open to all municipalities with the
exception of the city of Toronto andhas a final budget of $300 million,over two times the final budget oflast year’s initiative.Criteria involved in the evaluationincludes construction readiness,something that Knight says Huron
East has on their side, as the
Brussels southwest area servicing
project is ready to go.
Other criteria includes alignment
with provincial policy objectives,
benefits to the community, region
and province, including economic or
commercial benefits, environmental
or sustainability benefits, health and
safety benefits and social and
community benefits. Also, Huron
East has to demonstrate that the
project helps to implement a
council-adopted plan and there also
has to be regional distribution of
projects around the province.
The construction is scheduled for
the southwest end of Brussels, from
King Street down past FrederickStreet. Storm water issues werelocated in a 1992 report from B.M.Ross which detailed drainage issues.Huron East commissioned anotherstudy in 2003 which led to drawingsthat would upsize the system to a
five-year return standard and will
replace some water mains in the
area, some of which date back to
1930.
The roads portion of the project is
what the funding would be applied
to, which is the bulk of the project at
$784,000. If the grant is received in
the amount of $627,500, that amount
will deduct from the roads and storm
costs, with storm costs coming in at
$168,000 and the two totalling
$952,000, with the balance being the
water costs coming in at $303,000,
which is a user-pay system.
If the grant is received, the
remaining $324,500 ($952,000 -
$627,500) will be financed from the
2008 public works budget, although$143,000 is for the final publicworks cost of asphalt in 2009.
