Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fund Disbursement
Meeting Date: November 17, 2008
At the September 2, 2008 Agricultural Conversion Mitigation Fee Committee meeting,
staff reported to the Committee on the status of projects awarded with grant funding. As
an update to the September 2, 2008 report, staff notes that since that date an additional
grant recipient requested and received partial funding originally encumbered. Of the
$164,000 awarded to Buena Vista Lagoon Foundation for AGP 06-04 (Buena Vista
Lagoon Boardwalk), staff disbursed $68,000 from the Agricultural Conversion Mitigation
Fund to finance phase 1 of the project which primarily funds concept design formulation.
Pursuant to the Letter of Agreement entered into between the grantee and the City,
phase 1 tasks are expected to be completed by January 31, 2009.
As an update to the September 2, 2008 report, staff further notes that of the thirteen (13)
projects approved for grant funding:
• Four (4) projects have received full disbursement of funding for project
implementation.
• Six (6) projects have received partial disbursement of funding for project
implementation.
• Three (3) projects have yet to receive disbursement of funding for project
