MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 19, 2009
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: James E. Rabe, Civil Engineer II
RE: Authorize Grant Application to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for
Targeted Runoff Management or Urban Nonpoint Source and Storm Water Grant
Program
BACKGROUND
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources administers the Targeted Runoff Management and
Urban Nonpoint Source and Storm Water Grant programs. These programs offer financial assistance to
local units of government for planning and implementing storm water management facilities to control the
amount of pollutants that discharge to Waters of the State. The City of Oshkosh received a planning level
grant under this program to perform the City Wide Pollution Control Study. Financial assistance is also
available under this program for the construction of recommended storm water management facilities.
The Storm Water Utility Committee reviewed and recommended approval of this grant application at their
February 18, 2009 meeting.
ANALYSIS
This grant application will be for the South Oakwood Road Detention Basin (located just west of the
intersection of South Oakwood Road and Badger Avenue). This project was recommended in the City
Wide Pollution Control Study, and is being recommended in the Sawyer Creek Storm Water Management
Plan. The grant will be used to offset the cost of the Storm Water Utility acquiring the land from the
Industrial Development Fund, and constructing a combination water quality and flood control facility.
Funding for the design of this detention basin is included in the 2009 Capital Improvement Program Storm
Sewer Construction Budget. Funding for the construction of this detention basin will be included in the
2010 Capital Improvements Program Storm Sewer Construction. The grant, if awarded, will not be
available for use until 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of this resolution allows staff to submit the grant application, which if awarded, will reduce
the City cost of the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
Res ectfully Submitted, Approved:
