MEMORANDUM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Ron Olson, Finance Director <br /> Date: March 9, 2010 <br /> Subject: Hennepin County Grant Applications <br /> During the last week of February we received notification that grant money was available <br /> through the Metropolitan Landscape Restoration Program and Clean Water Fund Grant. The <br /> City Engineer and Public Works staff is recommending that we apply for grant money to fund <br /> three pro�ects that were cut from the Casco Point Project. <br /> The first project involves shoreline restoration and stabilization on Carman's Bay. Estimated <br /> cost of the project is $69,000 with the City's share being $25,000. The area of the project <br /> includes a sanitary sewer line with an exposed manhole. Funding for the city's share could <br /> come from a combination of Sewer and Storm Water Funds. The other two projects involve a <br /> drainage swale and a rain garden on private property along Dunwoody Avenue. The City's <br /> cost for these projects would be $12,100 and would be funded by the Storm Water Fund. <br /> The grant application deadline was March 8, 2010 which was prior to the last council meeting. <br /> Because of the grant deadline, the City Engineer applied for the grants prior to receiving <br /> council authorization. If the council would like, we can withdraw our application. Otherwise, <br /> we will request formal approval at the next council meeting. <br />
