It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee support:
a. Approval of the 2017 Storm Response Implementation Plan
b. Provide direction to staff
SUMMARY:
Resource Management Agency (RMA) has prepared a draft plan for projects using funding allocated to address critical damages resulting from 2017 storms (Attachment A). The Board approved use of funds to be reimbursed from the Strategic Reserve up to $11.1 million for FY 16/17 and $8.5 million for FY 17/18.
