BoardCity of Blackduck Work Session
The work session focused on the proposed lift station improvement project, specifically discussing the transition from a minimal repair plan to a more comprehensive consolidation of four lift stations, including relocation and adding permanent generators. The discussion covered long-term cost benefits versus upfront costs, potential funding strategies such as Small Cities grants and bonding, and the timeline implications of seeking federal funding. The council considered whether to proceed immediately with bonding or to wait for potential grant opportunities while managing urgent infrastructure needs.
