City of Parma 305 N 3rd St
Parma, ID 83660
208-722-5138
On or about January 23rd, 2025, the City of Parma will submit a request to the Idaho Department of Commerce for the release of funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as City of Parma Pool Project, for the purpose of resurfacing the pool’s ground, purchasing new pool equipment to increase safety, repairing locker room floors and showers as well as install new doors in the stalls. The project is estimated to cost $230,450 and is located on 302 North 2nd St, in the center of the City of Parma.
The activity proposed is categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at Parma City Hall, 305 N 3rd St, Parma, Idaho where the record is available for review and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to City Clerk Melissa Klinge. All comments received by January 22nd, 2025 will be considered by the City prior to authorizing submission of a Request for Release of Funds.
RELEASE OF FUNDS
The City certifies to the Idaho Department of Commerce that Angie D. Lee in her capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. Idaho Department of Commerce approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
The Idaho Department of Commerce will accept objections to its release of funds and the City's certification for a period of sixteen (16) days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases:
a. The certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City;
b. The City has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58.
c. The grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Idaho Department of Commerce; or,
d. Another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.
Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to:
