1/14/2021 Item Coversheet <br /> These agreements have been extremely successful and enhance other available conservation funding. For example,last year the <br /> District was approved for and/or awarded$348,550 in state and federal grants to plan,promote and construct best management <br /> practice(BMP)water quality improvements in the Lake Decatur watershed. <br /> The District continues to work closely with the City and Northwater Resources on the Lake Decatur Watershed Management Plan. <br /> The structure of the proposed agreement is such that if the City's watershed focus changes over time as the watershed management <br /> plan progresses,the City and the District can negotiate such changes to the agreement. Any negotiated changes,including the <br /> possibility of additional compensation to the District,would require approval by the City Council and District Board in order to <br /> take effect. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> Similar agreements have been approved by the City Council since 1988.
