Return LMI surveys to City of Waukon by October 23 to help with possible grant funding

Waukon residents should have received a low-to-moderate income (LMI) survey within the past week, and they should complete and return that brief survey to the City of Waukon by Wednesday, October 23. The surveys can be brought into the Waukon City Hall offices at 101 Allamakee Street NW or left in the drop box near the side entrance door toward the back of the City Hall building. The survey can also be scanned in and emailed to cityclerk@cityofwaukon.com.
Waukon residents can also tape the completed survey to their exterior household door prior to 4 p.m. Wednesday, October 23 for collection by volunteers that evening. Anyone wishing to volunteer to collect the surveys is asked to call Waukon City Clerk Sarah Snitker at 563-568-3492 or email her at cityclerk@cityofwaukon.com.

The surveys themselves are required by the State of Iowa every three years in order to see if the City is eligible to apply for certain grant funding through the State of Iowa. The last LMI survey completed by the City of Waukon was in 2015. The immediate purpose of this new survey would be to determine the City of Waukon’s eligibility to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Iowa Economic Development Authority that could result in the awarding of up to $500,000 in grant money to help fund sanitary sewer system improvements and water system improvements.

Anyone with further questions about the survey or the volunteer collection process is asked to contact Waukon City Clerk Sarah Snitker through the email or phone contact information previously listed above.
