Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - November 20, 1991 (85)y Oi CITY OF LODI AGENDA TITLE: Pass Resolution 91-218; an application for State of California, "Habitat Conservation Fund" monies for reconstruction of the Mokelumne River levee in the area of Pigs Lake. MEETING DATE: November 20. 1991 PREPARED BY: Scott Essin, Parks Superintendent RECOMMENDED ACTION By resolution - That the City Council approve the passing of Resolution 91-218; an application for State of California, "Habitat Conservation Fund" monies for reconstruction of the Mokelumne River levee in the area of Pigs Lake. BACKGROUND P4;ORMATICN The levee at Pigs Lake is in a seriously eroded condition. Until mv there have not been funds available to repair this levee. However, the Wildlife Protection Act of 1990 provides $2,000,000 .00 annually to the California Department of Parks and Recreation for. the Local Agency Grant Program. This is a 50%matching grant that is available to local agencies on a competitive basis. The application deadline for the first funding cycle is December 20, 1991. As soon as grant applicatione were available, Director Ron Williamson obtained a copy. Since this was a competitive grant it was decided to use our National Grant Services consultant to put together this grant. A you can see, vie have a very short time line in which to put together our application for funding. Therefore, vie placed this item on the Nature Area Advisory Committee agenda. They approved the concept. Loss of the levee at Pigs Lake would inundate the Nature Area. The Parks and Recreation Commission also approved the concept. The Commission expressed concern that vie did not have a dollar figure on this project. However, they approved the project for Council review. National Grant Services is developing the cost estimates as part of the grant application. These figures are not available as not all contractors have .asponded. It is necessary to approve applying for the grant nm in order to make the grant application deadline. In discussing costs of the project with National Grant Services, Duke Foster was made aware of the City's financial condition in regards to the City's ability to provide the matching funds. His approach is to take advantage of previsions which allow for the City to charge for labor and equipment which can be volunteer in nature. W would charge for inspection services and administering the contract. W would use volunteers to do reforesting of the reconstructed levee. Duke's feeling is that vie can offset substantially all of our costs in this way. THOMAS A.
