County staff to advertise two public hearings to close out water hookup grant

An unnamed staff member told commissioners the county recently completed a water-hookup project and must hold two public hearings to close out the related grant: a formal amendment hearing to reconcile differences between projected and actual hookup counts and a separate closeout hearing. The staff member proposed holding both hearings consecutively during the regular meeting on Jan. 27, with the amendment hearing at 6:35 p.m. and the closeout hearing at 6:40 p.m., and noted that legal advertisement must run seven days before the hearings.

Staff indicated a resolution would be drafted for adoption to complete the paperwork needed to close the grant. Commissioners agreed the hearing times should be precise so they do not delay the regular meeting start.

No vote was recorded at the work session; staff asked for informal permission to advertise and to place a resolution on the agenda for the next formal meeting.
