DISCUSSION:
The contract recommended by this Mayor and Council Communication will be used to develop a methodology to identify areas of the City that are
experiencing or are likely to experience severe erosion due to rainfall and stream flow. The contract also has a provision for the Consultant to
provide technical services toward the development of mitigation plans for erosion problems that are identified. The effort will assist with City
infrastructure projects located in erosion prone areas, the prioritization of erosion control projects, and serve as a communications tool to help
inform the planning and decision making of current and prospective property owners/residents. Application of the methodology to map the City in
a Geographic Information System (GIS) will be authorized through a subsequent Mayor & Council communication. This work will also provide key
information for the development of a City policy setting guidelines for the City's engagement with severe erosion in private creeks and channels.
