Upon completion of this latest update, both City and County staff will be trained in the use of the program, allowing future updates to be done locally. We received word that the Corps of Engineers is still in the process of reviewing the Waterways Management Plan submitted several years ago; with a promise this time that the review would be expedited. Zone 9 approved a budget for the coming year projecting that we will once again receive Zone 9 tax revenues (around$300,000/yr.) that had been taken by the State for the past two years to help balance their budget. The budget includes an item for staff and/or a consultant to conduct preliminary review to refine a construction project in the mid-Higuera area where there has been historic flooding,even during moderate rainstorms. With the change in the Madonna Construction Company's use of the property, there is, for the first.time, a possibility of an exchange of City-owned property for portions of the Madonna ownership, thereby providing a benefit to both properties. Without the necessity of having to pay for property, the benefit/cost ratio of this project is greatly improved. r OUNCIL _CDD DIR AO FIN DIR RED FILE CRO L FIRE CHIEF MEETING AGENDA TTORNEY PW DIR ® CLERK/ORIO POLICE CHF DATE 14 / ITEM # � ❑ DPT HEADS REC DIR I g 1UTIL DIR CkHR DIR � Cs4a x C(zi2.rL Liusi°n Report Zone 9
