MEETING DATE: April 19,2006 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution supporting the watershed stakeholder outreach projects proposed by Central Sierra Resource Conservation & Development, Inc. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi should support the watershed stakeholder outreach projects proposed by Central Sierra Resource Conservation & Development, Inc. (CSRC&D). The project goal is to increase regional partnerships and public participation in watershed restoration, planning, and educational activities. The proposals include a series of workshops and meetings involving public and private stakeholders from throughout the watershed; outreach programs to K - 12 schools; and citizen -based assessment teams. Watershed health and protection of watershed values into the future is a primary concern to our community. Their proposals will address the importance of protecting the Mokelumne River upstream from Lodi. Improved communication between stakeholders within and beyond our watershed will improve our watershed and could save many hours during development of local implementation plans and strategies. Reduction of meetings for multi -watershed organizations is an efficient and novel goal. The City of Lodi looks forward to the implementation of the following CSRC&D Central Sierra Watershed Partnership projects: Amador Dry Creek/Calaveras Watershed Capacity - Assess and Plan No. 11642STR and Central Sierra Regional Outreach Program - No. 9642STR.
