The need for the proposed Boone Well No. 30 Project is due to the need for the City to provide a safe, reliable, and high-quality water supply to residents within the City. The City has a growing demand for water and with older wells that are reaching the end of their useful life the City has a need to develop new wells to ensure that they can provide water as needed for the residents and businesses within the City. B. Explain how the proposed activities will be funded and the sources of funds. The project will be funded with a combination of CDBG funds and a loan from the State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF) managed by Iowa Finance Authority. It is estimated that total project costs will be $982,000.00 which includes construction costs, contingency, and CDBG grant administration costs. The total cost of the project eligible for CDBG funding is related strictly to construction (estimated at $800,000.00), construction contingency (estimated at $160,000.00), and Grant Administration Services ($22,000.00) for a total CDBG eligible cost of $982,000.00. The City intends to utilize a combination of funding from SRF and CDBG (loan and grant funds) to finance the project. The City is listed on the SRF Intended Use Plan (IUP) for a loan in the amount of $20,471,000.00 and they are applying for CDBG grant funds in the amount of $500,000.00. Total resources available for the project will then be $20,971,000.00. However, the SRF Loan amount includes a number of other Water System Improvement Projects. Well No. 30 is one of the planned activities within that budget. An award from CDBG would reduce the amount of loan funds needed from Iowa Finance Authority. C. Announce the date the CDBG application will be submitted to the State. The grant application will be submitted to the Iowa Economic Development Authority no later than May 22, 2026, at midnight. D. Announce the requested amount of federal funds. The City is requesting $500,000.00 in CDBG funds for the proposed project. E. Announce the estimated portion of funds that will benefit low-and-moderate income persons. The project will result in a City-wide benefit. The City conducted a citywide LMI survey in March 2025 utilizing the standards set for LMI Surveys by the Iowa Economic Development Authority. The results of that survey showed that 55.89% of the households of the City were considered low-and-moderate income (LMI). F. Announce where the proposed activities will be conducted. The proposed project activities will take place outside of the City limits along the Des Moines River along a gravel access road north of 188th Road. Electrical conduit lines will be extended from the well south along the gravel access road, under 188th Road and further south along another gravel access road to the City's water High Service Pumps location. G. Announce plans to minimize displacement of persons and businesses resulting of funded activities. The proposed project will not result in the displacement or relocation of any persons or businesses. H. Announce plans to assist persons actually displaced.
