MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 21, 2011
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 previously received a
planning level grant under this program to complete the City Wide Storm Water Management Plan.
ANALYSIS
The current planning grant application will allow Oshkosh to:
1) Update the previous study to take advantage of advances in the modeling technology.
2) Comply with additional DNR Guidance Documents released since the previous study was completed
3) Perform field testing to further refine the City's pollution reduction.
These updates are anticipated to show that the City is currently achieving a higher level of control than
the previous study. This will result in long term savings to the City, as fewer pollution control practices will
be required.
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. The project is anticipated to cost $125,000. The grant program reimburses
municipalities 70% of their costs, up to a maximum of $85,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
