Council to publish candidate project list and consider Colonias, SSP and regional‑account pathways for CDBG funds

SEAGO representative William Osborne told the council the hearing’s primary purpose was to collect candidate ideas the town will publish and later convert into a resolution for the regional-account application. He emphasized that regional-account awards typically fund one primary implementation project in a jurisdiction’s rotation and that SSP funding can be used earlier to pay for engineering and design so a project is shovel-ready.

Mayor Johann Wallace summarized the ideas collected—Activity Center modernization (kitchen/ADA), water-system assessment and possible meter replacements, park renovations and goat-head removal, pool shade and turf, sidewalks and traffic calming, and possible low-income housing—and instructed staff to publish the compiled list for public review; no project selection occurred at this meeting. The council moved to adjourn and the motion passed unanimously.
