SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
On April 27, 2017, the Mendocino County Water Agency entered into a grant agreement with the State Water Board to develop a Coastal Mendocino Storm Water Resource Plan. The goal of a Storm Water Resource Plan (SWRP) is to identify projects that capture and re-use storm water runoff to provide multiple benefits, including environmental, flood control, groundwater recharge, and recreational opportunities. The grant agreement requires the County enter into a Memorandum of Understand with the City of Fort Bragg outline the collaborative development and in kind services. The City will be providing in-kind services for staff time, data sharing, public outreach and facility use for this project. The in-kind services will count as local match funding required by the grant. Participating in the SWRP will allow the County of Mendocino to seek future Proposition 1 funding for storm water projects. The Water Agency is requesting the Board sign the MOU agreement.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not approve MOU or provide alternative direction.
