                     NRCS FRS 15 and 16 are located in city limits between County Roads 168, 201 and 1006 as shown on the attached location map

                     These are the final two NRCS-assisted structures left to rehabilitate within current city limits

o                     Collin County

o                     Collin County Soil and Water Conservation District

                     A requirement of the application is to attach a statement of commitment by each of the SLO’s that they will commit to:

o                     May consider entering into a contract with the State Board relating to the project’s completion

o                     Is aware the State Board may not pay more than 95 percent of the total project cost

                     The property owner where the dams are located, McKinney Ranch, Ltd., has generously offered to fund the 5% local match

                     The attached resolution commits the City to the above items and authorizes the City Manager to sign grant documents
