LEAP Grant Expenditure for Sewer Camera
Finance Officer Scarlett provided some history on the LEAP (Local Early Action Planning) grant and described the need for the purchase of the sewer camera. The purchase of the camera is part of a project to make technology improvements and physical improvements that will streamline the planning and permitting process. The sewer camera has many uses including locating infrastructure by going through the sewer lines. The sewer camera was included in the grant application and will be reimbursed through that grant.
Ashlee Sims provided public comment and asked why the city needed an additional camera when we already had one. Staff corrected that assumption as a regular camera is not the same as a sewer camera.
