PUBLIC HEARING: ON CONSIDERATION OF SIGNATURE OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION FOR TERREBONNE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Before the Board was a public hearing on signature of a Community Development Block Grant application for Terrebonne Water System improvement project. Susan Mayea reported this was the second phase of the grant application for the Terrebonne Water System project improvements. The feasibility study that was funded through a CDBG Grant from the Economic Development Department had been completed. The final engineering and site surveys were the next phase. The feasibility study showed there were numerous deficiencies and the proposed improvements were prioritized. The total water system was substandard and vulnerable to total loss or destruction of service. The population of the water district was 900 residents of which about 62% were of low or moderate income. The general proposed improvements were to provide a minimal package of related projects that would bestow the maximum benefits to the community. Proposed projects include bringing the existing well up to standards as identified by the Oregon Health Division, site acquisition for proposed storage and pressurization facilities, a new $250,000 gallon reservoir, new constant pressure pump station, new water transmission line and replacement of under sized distribution mains along "C" Avenue in Terrebonne. The third phase of the Terrebonne project would be the actual construction portion. Susan reported they hoped to get the funding next year for this current phase, then a construction grant the following year to allow construction to commence in the spring or summer of 1997. The total budget to do final engineering, the rate study, a site survey, geo-technical evaluation, paperwork and grant application for Phase 3 of this project was $88,000 and $9,800 in grant administration for a total grant request of $97,800. Chair Slaughter opened the public hearing. Doug McLaughlin, Terrebonne Water System, testified in support of the grant application. He reported they have been struggling to keep the water system in compliance. He stated the system was antiquated and it was time to get it replaced. The grant would give them a good start at getting this fixed. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed.

Greg Brown reported the bond issue was for $14,400,000. There were three components to this bond issue which included a juvenile detention, corrections facility, and juvenile court room.
