RE: Authorize Grant Application to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for
Targeted Runoff Management or Urban Nonpoint Source and Storm Water Grant
Program for the City Hall Underground Storm Water Storage and Pollution Control
Facility
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 has previously received
planning level and construction grants under this program.
ANALYSIS
The current construction grant application will assist the City of Oshkosh in implementing storm water
pollution reduction features in the City Hall Underground Storm Water Storage and Pollution Control
Facility. The water quality features are estimated to remove approximately 6.3 tons per year of sediment
from the storm water runoff.
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 grant program reimburses municipalities 50% of their costs, up to a
maximum of$150,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
