The Sheridan City Council held a special meeting Monday night to consider applying for American Rescue Plan Act funds. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
ARPA Funds
The City Council acted on two resolutions, ultimately approving each resolution that authorizes submission of two grant applications for the Northeast Transmission Main Project. The first resolution approved is for a grant through the Wyoming Water Development Commission in the amount of $2.3 million for level three construction funding for an 11,000 square-foot water transmission line that would extend from East Ridge Road to Kittering Road. If the grant application is approved, the project would be funded 67 percent by the WCDA grant, and 33 percent, or $1.1 million by the City.
City Administrator Stu McRae said the water transmission main extension would satisfy a critical water supply need for northeast Sheridan while providing redundancy and improving the water supply capacity of the overall system for future growth and development prospects in northeast Sheridan. The second resolution approved by the Council authorizes submission of an application to the State Loan and Investment Board for a grant through the Water and Sewer ARPA Grant Program in the amount of $3.3 million. Councilman Aaron Linden proposed a $529,994 amendment to the resolution that was approved by the Council.

The special meeting needed to be held because the deadline to apply for American Rescue Plan Act grants through the SLIB Board is August 12.
