REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The property owners of 20 Hilton Court(Fongs) and 40 Hilton Court(Prowzniks)have requested that the County
assist them in obtaining funding from the NRCS to repair their properties along Las Trampas Creek,damaged in the
January 1,2006,storms under the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. NRCS regulations require that a local
government,cponspr tie repair project as NRCS cannot contract directly with the affected property owners.Thus,in
order for this finding tp e obligated, the County must sign an agreement with the NRCS as the sponsor of the
project. Additional agreements with the two property owners obligate the property owners to cover the County's
costs as project sponsor.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the project agreements are not approved,the two property owners will be unable to obtain NRCS funding for the
project.
