On May 21, 2014, the City received notification from the State Water Resources Control <br />Board that $288,898 was awarded, with a required City match of $72,225. Though not required at <br />the time of application, the State Water Board now requires a City Council Resolution for this <br />competitive grant before its corresponding agreement can be issued. <br />The State Public Resources Code requires Proposition 84 Stormwater Grant Program (SWGP) <br />funds be used to provide matching grants to local public agencies for the reduction and prevention <br />of storm water contamination of rivers, lakes, and streams. The Morrison Park LID Improvements <br />project will reconstruct the existing parking lot with new porous asphalt pavement, and incorporate <br />an adjacent bioretention system with drought - tolerant landscaping. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #4 City Financial Stability, Objective <br />#3 (maintain a structurally balanced budget with appropriate reserve levels); and, Goal #6 <br />Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community <br />Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy G (develop and implement the City's Capital <br />Improvement Program in coordination with the Community Investment and Deferred Maintenance <br />Plans). <br />55E -1 <br />
