The program provides funding for projects that provide water to <br />communities that face the loss or contamination of their water supplies, address <br />immediate impacts on human health and safety, and protect fish and wildlife resources. <br />If the grant applications (Exhibits 1-5) are successful, the grant funding would offset up to <br />$27,031,617 of the estimated $34,772,367 total project costs. The resolutions (Exhibits <br />6-10) authorize staff to submit the respective applications. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Staff will return to Council with a <br />request for approval of further actions and will indicate the fiscal impact of any such <br />awards and associated expenditures at that time. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
