Title
Approval of a Resolution to enter into an agreement with the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission (GSWCC) and the Fulton County Soil and Water Conservation District (FCSWCD) regarding emergency repair of the Little River Watershed Dam #39.
Presented by Stuart Moring, Director
Body
Item Summary:
The September 2009 storms caused severe erosion in the emergency spillway and along the sewer pipe at the watershed dam at Brookfield Country Club. The responsibility for the repair lies with the FCSWCD.
The GSWCC and the Natural Resource Conservation Service have partnered to assist the FCSWCD with the repairs and have made funding available through the federal Emergency Watershed Protection Program. However, FCSWCD and GSWCC need to partner with another public entity to assist them as a contracting agent for the project and have approached the City to act as the agent.
The estimated cost of repairs is $139,000 and no outlay of funds is required of the City. The City would contribute staff time for construction procurement, implementation, and administration.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On June 15, 2010 the Public Safety & Public Works Committee recommended placing this item on the June 21, 2010 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
No funds are required by the City. The project will be funded by the GSWCC.
