Discussions regarding the design have been positive and recommendations for mitigating the impacts to the wetlands have been outlined by the Corps. It has been recommended that a pollinator program be adopted to improve pollinator insect health and vitality. Staff will begin outlining a pollinator program for adoption by the City, and will incorporate into the project scope of work a re-vegetation effort to introduce pollinator habitat at a 1:1 ratio as it relates to the wetlands impacted by the proposed boardwalk (12,000 square feet). Interpretive signage will be incorporated into the project to educate users of these efforts and their importance. The mitigation project has already been outlined and is attainable on site in the surrounding Spring Mountain Ranch Home Owners Association (HOA) common ground. Parks & Recreation Director Kurt Wolf will present the mitigation plan to the Spring Mountain Ranch HOA for written approval to utilize additional HOA open space during their December meeting. The attached 404 Joint Application for Encroachment Permit is required before work can continue.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Joint Application for 404 Permit for the Wooley Avenue Boardwalk Separated Pathway Project, and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
