COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Supporting the Watershed Stakeholder Outreach Projects
Proposed by Central Sierra Resource Conservation & Development, Inc.
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.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Applicable.
