DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Due to storm events in 2017, flooding occurred throughout El Dorado County, resulting in damage in some areas. Flooding in the Latrobe area resulted in significant erosion and rail embankment washout adjacent to and north of existing culverts along the historic Placerville and Sacramento Rail Road tracks. On May 19, 2020, the Board approved the Latrobe FEMA project that repaired the rail bank that had washed away and rebuilt the hillside that had washed onto the adjacent property. Additionally, a drainage swale was installed to the overflow culverts and additional culverts were installed to provide additional drainage.
The cost of the project was estimated at $275,876. Of this cost, $182,876 was to be funded by FEMA/CAL OES with a required match of $93,000. Funding for the match requirement was approved by the Board on May 19, 2020 (Item# 20-0598) to come from the following sources:

2) Ponderosa Quimby Special Revenue Funds: $29,745

It should be noted that during their May 11, 2020 meeting, the SPTC JPA funded an additional amount of up to $25,000 to install additional drainage features during the repair.

FEMA: $193,692
Cal OES: $48,423
SPTC JPA: $40,487
El Dorado County Ponderosa Quimby Funds: $30,334
