SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Mayor and staff received a request from Durena L. Farr representing Valley Soil & Water Conservation District for a letter of support for their application for a an IDEQ 2022 Agricultural
Best Management Practices Program Grant Application. Ms. Farr stated the following in her request:
On the heels of the NFPR Watershed Summit, and as we presented in Session 2, the Valley Soil & Water Conservation District is applying for the IDEQ State Ag BMP grant for two Lake Cascade
riparian fencing projects: 1) the southwest end and 2). the north end, Edwards Point, both areas where cattle are observed standing in the waters of Lake Cascade and along the shores
throughout the summer. I am contacting each of you for a letter of support from the organization you represent for this application and for this important watershed progress. Most
of you provided a letter of support for last year’s West Mtn. fencing project. If you need me to email a copy to update, let me know! I will need to have these letters of support in
my hands the first week of April. This grant is the only one we can utilize to fund projects on USBR ground so it’s important we succeed, and your letters of support are vital for the
application selection process.
The drat letter is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
On Behalf of the McCall City Council, authorize the Mayor to sign a letter of support for an IDEQ 2022 Agricultural Best Management Practices Program Grant Application for Valley Soil
& Water Conservation District.
