C teryiCfe <br /> 1880 Main Street 0 Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> Estaffished 1857 (612) 429 -3232 • jax (612) 429 -8629 <br /> MEMO <br /> DATE October 29, 1996 <br /> TO Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> FROM Jim Marc�L <br /> RE Stream Bed and Bank Stabilization Program <br /> I spoke to Kate Drewry at the Rice Creek Watershed District in <br /> regards to the above mentioned cost share program. She mentioned <br /> that currently they have sufficient funds to cover the costs of <br /> one -third of eligible projects. The program has so far been <br /> under utilized. <br /> I mentioned that we had discussed the program at a council <br /> meeting and had received interest from some citizens. She <br /> indicated that the Rice Creek Watershed budget is going to have <br /> sufficient funds to cover 500 of the costs of eligible projects <br /> beginning probably in April of 1997. <br /> If this is going to be the case, (as Kate said it probably will <br /> be), I mentioned that the City of Centerville may wish to hold <br /> off on publicizing the program to residents along Clearwater <br /> Creek until the spring of 1997. Kate thought that this may be a <br /> good idea, so that those who choose to participate now are not <br /> upset when they find out that in a few months they could have <br /> received an additional 15% reimbursement. I feel that if the <br /> watershed district has funds to cover 50% of the costs of <br /> eligible projects, we may not need to get the City of Centerville <br /> involved financially. Please let me know your reactions and we <br /> can place this item back on the agenda in the spring. <br />
