Reason for Recommendation:
The Transportation Department (Department) is submitting a Resolution for two (2) projects for which the Department is requesting funding that are not included in previous Resolutions: Boulder Mountain Erosion Control Project and the Master Planning Grant Project.
Before the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC) Governing Board will approve the final planning grant applications, the El Dorado County (County) Board of Supervisors (Board) must adopt a Resolution demonstrating its commitment to the projects and the objectives of the CTC and United States Forest Service (USFS), Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) Soil Erosion Control Grants Program.
If the CTC Governing Board approves the Department's planning grant request, the County will need to enter into separate grant agreements with the CTC for the projects. Therefore, County Counsel and the Board will have an opportunity to approve the final grant agreements. The purpose of this Resolution is only to demonstrate to the CTC's Governing Board the County's commitment to the projects and the objectives of the CTC and USFS, LTBMU Grants Program.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. The Chairman will sign the Resolution and the Board Clerk will forward the signed Resolution to the Department to transmit a copy to the CTC.
2. Upon notification from the CTC, the Department will continue working with the CTC and County Counsel to finalize the grant agreements.
3. The Department will bring the final CTC grant agreements to the Board for final approval at subsequent regular Board meetings.
