Gary explained the stimulus funding process with the help of a nine page <br />handout (see attachment.) As far as road projects go, "shovel ready" projects approved by the <br />MACOG policy board in their TIP (Transportation Improvement Plan) can qualify. Work on an <br />approved project list will begin in 2009 carrying over in some cases through 2010. Regarding <br />water and sewers, the city has a $19 million master plan ready to go. Every attempt to leverage <br />federal stimulus dollars to subsidize this plan are in the works. The city appears to be in a good <br />position to take advantage of the stimulus dollars because of work already done i.e. CSO project. <br />Councilmember's asked several questions regarding specific street repair projects and suggested <br />improvements to the current yard waste pick-up efforts. Gary took these suggestions under <br />advisement. <br />There being no further business to come before the Committee, Chairperson Varner adjourned <br />the meeting at 4:25 p.m. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />~' <br />David Varner, Chairperson <br />Public Works and Property Vacation Committee <br />
