wholistic management of city-owned open spaces, transportation corridors, and especially Lake Decatur.

In order to successfully entice landowners to construct these watershed <br /> conservation projects, landowners are reimbursed by the City for 90%of the total project cost. Landowners <br /> pay for 10% of the total. <br /> The agreement financials are: <br /> Owner Cost $6,479.81 <br /> Maximum City Cost(reimbursed to owner after construction) $58,318.32 <br /> Total Not to Exceed Project Cost $64,798.13 <br /> These water utility expenditures have significant return on investment. Each project contributes to the larger <br /> goal of protecting Lake Decatur from siltation and deferring future dredging expenses and impacts. Also, these <br /> city-funded projects serve to attract significant grant funding from the state and federal governments. <br /> Furthermore, the program continues to build credibility and momentum within the local agricultural community <br /> for adoption of conservation efforts. <br /> Staff Impact: Staff has allocated time to manage this project. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> 1. 2026-29 Resolution Emily Baldwin Watershed Protection Agreement <br /> 2. 2026-29 Location Map.
