This work has significantly eliminated erosion <br />problems in the area and is a cost-effective measure that should last many years. <br /> <br />It is time again to apply for 1996 funds. Discussions with Mr. Bill Bronder at the SWCD <br />indicate they have $150,000 available in 1996, which will be used to provide 50% funding <br />for approved projects. The attached application requests $25,000 from the SWCD. As <br />in 1991 and 1994, the City must be willing to match the grant with $25,000. It would be <br />appropriate for this grant application to be discussed and approved at an upcoming City <br />Council meeting. Should the application be approved, please sign and date two copies of <br />the application in the places we have marked, and return them to me. As with past grant <br />applications, there are no guarantees that ours will be selected, but we believe we have a <br />good chance. Please contact me if you have any questions. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />Mark J.
