Fred Zatkoff Associates M.�."Illi '3nc� ` pxc,ti,e Diu We are writing to you today because we are seriously concerned about the fact . that the flood control pr.oject .on the two creeks is underfunded ,by: $800,000, This funding shortfall . puts the project's .completion. in question.. You will recall that the project began in 1982 when property owners within the flood plain agreed to liens of approximately $2000 per acre. These monies made up the local . share that .was necessary tc,' .have "in hand" before the Federal and .State governments would sign on to the project. In regard to liens against their. property, the project to which property owners consented was a basic plan that provided for flood protection only. Along the way, environmental groups intervened to the extent that the entire .funding for the. project• was placed in .je.opardy unless their demands were met. The shortfall in funding that exists now is entirely the responsibility of these groups. . Their rhetoric that promised funding for. ,the environmental enhancements has not coo materialized..and the property owners are left C holding the bag_. It is not a popular position. -2- Our concern is that the 100 year flood protection that the plan must afford is not possible until the project is extended upstream of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R.R right of way. We would respectfully suggest that since most of the land in question is included within a county Redevelopment project area, and since adequate development cannot proceed without adequate flood protection, that it would be appropriate for the Redevelopment Agency to absorb $400,000 of the funding shortfall that currently exists_ In making this request, we support the position of Mr. Milton Kubicek, Deputy Chief Engineer for CCC Flood Control and Water Conservation District_ Thank you for your earliest attention to this matter of real importance.
