RE: Application for Clean Water Fund Loan /Grant for the Oakwood Road Storm Water
Management Facility
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh recently completed a City Wide Storm Water Management Plan to serve as a
roadmap to complying with the Department of Natural Resources General Permit for Municipal Storm
Water Discharges. This plan and the Sawyer Creek Storm Water Management Plan have identified the
South Oakwood Road Storm Water Facility as a site to provide management of the runoff generated
within the watershed. Staff are currently working on the completion of all the forms necessary to submit
the application to the Department of Natural Resources.
ANALYSIS
The Clean Water Fund Program provides financial assistance for eligible projects in the form of
subsidized interest rates. In this funding cycle, additional stimulus money is available and some projects
will have portions of principal forgiven (receive partial grants). The final determination on grant funding will
be made sometime after the application deadline which is June 30 As part of the application process,
the Department of Natural Resources requires that the governing body authorize a representative be
designated for signing the Financial Assistance Application and declare its intent to reimburse funds on
hand used on an interim basis until the long term financing is received from the program.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding this project through the Clean Water Fund will provide a reduced the interest rate on borrowed
funds and provides the potential for a portion of the principal to be forgiven (as a grant).
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that the resolutions for Authorized Representative (naming the City Manager as the
Authorized Representative) and Intent to Reimburse (utilize Clean Water Fund Program money to
reimburse the Storm Water Utility for funds expended) be approved so the Clean Water Fund Financial
Assistance Application can be completed and submitted by the June 30, 2009.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
