Commerce - Water and Sewer Fea Fund Interest - Adoption of Proieot Ordinance and Hudget Amendment - ($73,983.00) Kelly Sifford, Community Development Manager, reported the County began the process to expend the Water and Sewer Fee Fund as part of the County's legal agreement with Concord. The County has a contract with Concord which is expected to begin installation of the water lines in the Moss Drive community soon. She suggested the interest from the Water and Sewer fund be used as a community development fund for citizens that are ineligible for any of the County's other reimbursable grant programs. She explained that many of these needs fall outside existing grant guidelines and these funds would be used for items such as: roof, HVAC and plumbing repairs. She further suggested HUD (Housing and Urban Development) guidelines be used as parameters for the program in a multi-year fund so that it can be spent down as needed. She also explained that clients will be directed into a reimbursable grant program first and this program will be a last resort.
