Background
At the July 18. 2017 Board of Supervisors meeting the Board approved the first annual levee maintenance plan for County Service Area 6 ("Snowball CSA") that will cost approximately $140,000 to implement with an additional $10,000 budgeted for the services of a professional district engineer. (Item #30, July 18, 2017 Board meeting, also provided as Attachment B to this staff report)
Approval of this budget modification will allow staff to implement the annual levee maintenance activities such as: removal of hazardous trees; management of vegetation, including mechanical removal and management by grazing activities; mechanical compaction of existing levee slopes to ensure levee integrity; and revegetation of denuded slopes that are vulnerable to erosion.
