Adopt City Council Resolution Amending the FY 2016-17 Budget to Appropriate $93,323 Received from the Noyo Harbor District to Fund Additional Restoration and Mitigation Work on the Coastal Restoration & Trail Project (Budget Amendment No. 2017-15; Amount not to Exceed $93,323; Account No. 407-5028-0731)

 

Summary

The City Council approved an agreement with the Noyo Harbor District in July 2016 allowing the transfer of up to 16,000 cubic yards of dredge materials for use on the South Coastal Trail.  Only 9,323 cubic yards of material were delivered due to timing and permitting issues with the Water Board.  The City received payment for the deposition of these materials in the amount of $93,323 or $10/cubic yard.  Council authorization is sought for expenditure of $16,000 of these funds for the grading of the materials and $5,000 for re-seeding and completing restoration activities. These costs are directly related to the acceptance of the dredge material for restoration purposes and will be charged to account 407-5028-0731.  A number of additional mitigation and monitoring activities required by the EIR for the Coastal Trail project are currently unfunded and include: ongoing restoration, invasive plant control, rare plant protection, and cultural resource protection projects and activities.  These activities are required by the EIR and must continue over the next four years. Staff recommends that the remaining funds in account 407-5028-0731 be reserved for completion of required mitigation and monitoring activities and to ensure a fully restored site that is protective of rare and endangered species and cultural resources.
