STAFF REPORT
The City received
of Water Resources was
restoration projects.
dated September 30.)
notice in mid-October that the State Department
sol iciting grant appl icat"bns for local stream
(See attached copy of letter of notification,
This department staff together with City Engineering staff discussed
potential projects which the City could propose which could be done with
the limited amount of funds available through the program and which meet
the criteria. Because the City is already involved in upgrading Meadowbrook
Park, through which runs Warm Creek, it was decided that requesting funds
from the local stream restoration projects program to supplement the
funding on the present project would be the most viable one to pursue.
In order to meet the November 30, 1985 deadline, a tentative application
was submitted by this department in conjunction with the Engineering Depart-
ment to the Stream Restoration Program. The project proposes to clean
up and restore the natural environment along that portion of Warm Creek
which runs between Sierra Way and the Western Boundary of Meadowbrook Park
The cost of the project is estimated at $19,960. These funds would be
added to the present project funded at $65,000 by a Community Development
Block Grant. The work on the entire project is scheduled to be done by
City forces and California Conservation Corp.
Our request is that the Parks, Recreation & Community Services
Department be authorized to proceed with their application effort.
Restoration of the stream in conjunction with the upgrading of the park
will provide a natural stream environment for park patrons and enhance
the aesthetics of this downtown area park.

Dear Urban Streams Restoration Grant Applicant:
I
The Department of Water Resources is now so11ci ting grant app11cations for
local stream restoration projects. The purpose of this program is to prevent
property damage by floods and bank erosion and to restore the natural values of
streams. The grants can fund projects as simple as organizing volunteer help
to monitor and cleanup streams or can fund complex stream restoration work.'
Before filling out the application carefully read the attached "Policies for
the Implementation of the Urban Streams Program." Your grant applicaticn
will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary team of eight professionals repre-
senting the Departments of Water Resources and Fish and Game. This team will
evaluate your spplication on the basis of how it meets the policies and
priorities in this po11cies document. You may apply for small grants of a few
hundred dollars up to a lim! t of $20,000. We anticipate raising the 11m! t next
fiscal year.
We have attempted to make this grant application process as simple as possible
in order to encourage small local agencies, districts or nonprofit organiza-
tions to take part in the Stream Restoration Program. Confine your information
to the space provided on the appl1catioo and mail the whole package (after
removing the policies)(Qy November 30, 198~ to:
