OWDA funding would only be applicable to the cleaning and relining; 313 money, which is excess liquor money, could only be utilized for the loops south of Lorain which would provide service in that area. Cast of clean- ing was projected at $1,050,000; $610,000 for loops, $100,000 for engineering. Dis- cussed undertaking the engineering for relining and cleaning "in-house". Also dis- cussed considerations witfi respect to resurfacing Lorain Road. Council has not gotten an accurate projection with respect to the increase necessary to fund this project. Maqor will provide Council with an accurate breakdown on the increase necessary, or what type surcharge will be necessary.
