Held by the Town of Liberty
Dear Mr. Snider and Mrs. Graznak,
I am reporting on the SOC for the Town of Liberty for the Quarter from April 1, 2022 — June 30, 2022 in
accordance with the SOC EMC SOC WQ S19-011 guidelines.
Section 2(a)(2) and Section 2(a)5 of the SOC discuss the GoldenLeaf Funds. All of the 3,231 linear feet of
the sewer main line have been rehabilitated as of April 28, 2021. The additional portion of sewer
Fayetteville Street that needed some extra attention has been repaired. All GoldenLeaf projects in the
SOC have been completed and project is complete.
Section 2(a)(3) and Section 2(a)(6) of the SOC discuss the CDBG funded project. This project
is in the final stages. We have completed all construction work. The Towns audit for FY 20/21 has not
been completed due to an auditor change. The only remaining items on this project are final grant
closeout which can not happen until the audit is complete — all other aspects of this grant have been
completed in the time lines set forth in the SOC.
Section 2(a)(4) and Section 2(a)(7) of the SOC discuss the ASADRA project. The engineering
reports have been submitted and we have passed a resolution to accept the funds. The ASADRA project
has had many delays. It was initially awarded during COVID as well as a town manager changing during
the beginning stages of the grant. Engineering drawings were submitted to the State for review with
some delays. WithersRavnel has helped the Town of Liberty write an additional grant that would
subsidise this grant. It would add an additional $12.5 million to the total of this $3 million dollar grant
making it $15.5 million total dollars for the ASADRA. We will hear about this grant on February 21,
2023. At this point it does not seem that we will be able to obtain the September 30, 2023 deadline for
construction due to the delays we have experienced. More details will be provided in the 4t' quarter
report.
If you have any further questions or need any clarification, please let us know and we will answer them.
Thanks again for your help and guidance on all of this.
Sincerely,
r'
Scott Kidd
Town Manager Town of Liberty
