· These funds will be added to DR7158, once the cooperative agreement is signed and executed. City funds of $655,000 will then be released to Stormwater Fund Balance, once the agreement has been signed and executed.
· There will be $4,665,800 in DR7158 to address the costs associated with construction, landrights, and permitting costs. (Note this includes the grant estimated at $3,012,750 from the NRCS).
