AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE WISCONSIN SMALL CITIES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT - EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CDBG - EAP)

Due to the August 2018 storms and subsequent damage to local businesses and public facilities, Sauk County will be applying for CDBG-EAP funds.  Federal monies are available under the Wisconsin Small Cities Community Development Block Grant Emergency Assistance Program  (CDBG-EAP), administered by the State of Wisconsin, Department of Commerce, Bureau of Community Finance, for the purpose of disaster recovery. After due consideration, the Executive and Legislative Committee has recommended an application be submitted to the State of Wisconsin for the following project: Repair of public facilities and business assistance within Sauk County damaged in the August 2018 storms and subsequent flooding. It is necessary for the Sauk County Board of Supervisors to approve the preparation and filing of an application for Sauk County to receive funds from this program only after holding a public hearing. The Sauk County Board of Supervisors will review the need for the proposed project and the benefits to be gained therefrom.
