[Funding Source: Fund 352, Local Option Sales Tax III (LOST) III, Cost Center 210107, Object Code 56101, Project #17EN2791]

BACKGROUND:

The Hayward property is located next to an existing County pond (Velma Pond 92) that needs to be expanded to improve capacity and positive outfall issues. The Bayou Marcus Master Drainage Plan outlined a drainage concept for this area. This proposed pond on the Hayward property combined with the existing Velma Pond parcel would provide for a more cost-effective drainage system than the one identified and proposed in the Master Plan by considerably reducing the outfall pipe size. Engineering is currently drafting a scope of work for solicitation of design services for the Muldoon-Saufley Field-Cerney-Velma-Fresno Area Drainage project, for which the acquisition of this parcel is a key component. Funding for acquisition and design is in LOST III and construction is programmed in LOST IV (FY2020 and FY2027).

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funding for this project is available in Fund 352, LOST III, Cost 210107, Object Code 56101, Project #17EN2791.
