Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
Grant funding in the amount of $2,175,000.00 from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. There is no net cost to the County General Fund associated with this agenda item.
Background:
On February 22, 2010, the County of El Dorado (County) submitted a grant proposal to the USDA Forest Service under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) Round 10 Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit to fund the following Erosion Control Projects located in the Tahoe Basin:

Delegation of signature is requested for the Director of Transportation to facilitate processing of the Grant Award Document and any future grant modifications that do not change the total dollar amount within the Award Document subject to review and approval by County Counsel.
Action to be taken by the Department following Board approval:
1) Director of the Department of Transportation to sign the two (2) originals of the Award Document and any future modifications.
2) The Department will forward two (2) originals to the USDA Forest Service for full execution.
