On Tuesday night, the Town Council unanimously (7-0) approved additional funding for wash maintenance.
The Council approved an additional $140,000 to allocate to a vendor for dam, drainage parcel, and wash maintenance
Since the fall, progress on wash maintenance has been significantly faster than anticipated, and the need for continued work has become more pressing as the high-risk wildfire and flood seasons approach.
The additional funding allows the Town to continue its critical dam, drainage parcel, and wash maintenance activities, including expanding the scope to cover additional washes and more extensive maintenance in preparation for the dry, hot summer season.
Going forward, the additional resources allow:
- Expanding wash maintenance coverage to include more washes that are currently at risk of overgrowth and flooding.
- Intensifying fire mitigation efforts in anticipation of the wildfire season.
- Ensuring continued compliance with EPA Best Management Practices (BMPs), which include sediment basins, storm drain maintenance, and erosion control efforts.
