They anticipate a completion date of end of October, first week of November. PLANNING DEPARTMENT - Ted Esborn Mr. Esborn sent out a memo in July saying that we would again this year be trying to get State funding through DOPWIC for the Eastgate and Meadowood sewers. I,met with Ron and Tom this . morning to start our application process. That application is due on October 25?'. At the October Caucus, I will work with Diane to have authorizing legislation required each application year even if it is the same application. Mayor Rinker added, this is about the eighth or ninth time that we have applied. As we discussed last time, we have gotten pretty far down the path. With DOPWIC we were approved. It was in Columbus where we were not approved. Our game plan from a budgetary standpoint is to be in a position if need be to go ahead and pay the entire freight if we need to. We will modify so that the grant and loan applications are tailored more conservatively in order to improve our chances. Any kind of help we can get on this program would be good. We are committed to this project. It will be a matter of budget approval in going forward. The game plan would be to salt away enough dollars that we can do it if the DOPWIC approval doesn't pan out. Mr. Esborn stated, it's our ninth time. It's a competitive process. You never know what is going to come out of other communities.
