endorsement of grant application.
CAD RECOMMENDATION:
MEETING DATE:
January 19,-1987

By motion, authorize City Administrative Officer to sign
application with endorsement on behalf of the city.
BACKGROUND:
The San Luis Obispo County Land Conservancy is applying for a
second round grant from the State Department of Water Resources
under their Urban Stream Restoration Program, and would like to
have endorsement of the City of San-Luis Obispo. There are six
tasks outlined within the report, many of which - interrelate
with ongoing city studies and plans. Of particular interest is
the study of an upstream detention facility which should
correlate closely with the city's study which will be presented
for Council consideration in February. The grant is for
$35,000, with the Conservancy proposing to contribute
additional work at relatively inexpensive rates to accommodate
a total budget of $65,850. The City will not be asked to
contribute directly toward this project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the city endorse the application and
authorize the City Administrative Officer to sign on behalf of
the city.

Dear Mr. Dunn:
CONSERVANCY LAND
As you know, the.San Luis Obispo County Land Conservancy is
applying for a second -round grant from the State Department of
Water Resources under their Urban Stream Restoration Program.
Our organization would be very pleased to have the endorsement of
the City of San Luis Obispo for our grant application.
We enclose a copy of our grant application, and the material
announcing the grant program from the Department of Water Resour-
ces. We would call your attention.to the fact that the brochure
describing the program has a picture of Mission Plaza in the
lower right corner of the first page. Another, larger picture of
the plaza is shown on page 11.
We will submit to the City several printed 'copies of our
Restoration Plan as soon as it is back from the printer, which
should be next week before the next Council meeting. In lieu of
the completed plan, our grant proposal gives a good overview of
where we are in the process. In fact, Exhibit B to the grant
proposal summarizes what we have accomplished to date in the
Restoration Plan, and what we hope to do in the future.
Thank you for considering the endorsement of our grant proposal.
We look forward to working with you, with Mayor Dunin and the
rest of the Council, and with the staff on creek issues in the
future.
Sincerely,
John B. Ashbaugh
Executive Director
