BOOK 45 pAcc 68 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT ALTHOUGH THE COST MAY BE EXCESSIVE, IF YOU COST IT INTO THE GIFFORD SYSTEM, HE FELT THERE MAY BE FUNDS AVAILABLE FROM FMHA ITSELF, AND IT COULD BECOME AVAILABLE THROUGH OUR OVERALL 20 MILLION GRANT. ENGINEER ROBBINS AGREED THAT THERE COULD BE SOME OF THE CONTINGENCY FUNDS LEFT OVER, AND THERE ALSO ARE PROJECT FUNDS LEFT OVER. HIS ESTIMATION WAS THAT THERE WILL BE ABOUT $1.80,000 IN CONTINGENCY, AND SOME OF THOSE FUNDS COULD BE USED TO OFFSET THE COST UNDER A HUD BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT IT IS ALL TAX MONEY, AND HE WAS NOT SURE THAT WE SHOULDNIT WAIT ON THAT AND USE SEPTIC TANKS UNTIL THE NORTH COUNTY PLANT GOES IN. COMMISSIONER LYONS NOTED THAT IF WE CAN PUT IN A PART OF WHAT WE HAVE GOT FIGURED AS A PART OF THE 201 FACILITIES PLAN, MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT OPPORTUNITY. IF THIS IS NOT PART OF A TOTAL INTEGRATED PLAN, COMMISSIONER LYONS AGREED THAT THE COST IS EXCESSIVE TO SPEND FOR A SMALL SUBDIVISION. ENGINEER ROBBINS CONTINUED DISCUSSING TRYING TO TI -E THIS IN WITH THE 201 PLAN AND POSSIBLY WORKING WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT FEEL THE BOARD WOULD WANT TO GIVE DIRECTION TO INCLUDE THIS IN THE COMMUNITY BLOCK DEVELOPMENT PREAPPLI- CATION BECAUSE IT WOULD AMOUNT TO OVER 1/3 OF THE FUNDS REQUESTED. THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR CONCURRED THAT THIS WOULD MUDDY UP THE APPLICATION AND THAT ANY SOLUTION WOULD BE THROUGH FMHA. THE BOARD AGREED THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE TIED IN WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPLICATION. ENGINEER ROBBINS THEN DISCUSSED COST SHARING PROGRAMS, PART THROUGH HUD AND PART THROUGH FMHA. HE STATED THAT IF THE BOARD DE- SIRED, HE COULD MAKE SOME INQUIRIES THROUGH VARIOUS FUNDING PROGRAMS TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY FUNDS AVAILABLE, DISCUSSION CONTINUED AS TO THE FACT THAT $500,000 TO ADD 177 FAMILIES TO THE SYSTEM WOULD NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE, BUT IF THIS WERE PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN, THEN THE MONEY MIGHT NOT BE WASTED AND IT WOULD NOT HURT TO MAKE FURTHER INQUIRIES. 68
