Title
Discussion of issues relating to City of Deer Park’s participation with a Coastal Barrier Financing Project.
Body
Summary:
Morgan’s Point Mayor Michele Bechtel recently approached Mayor Mouton regarding the City’s interest in helping participate with the Coastal Barrier Financing Project. The United States Army Corp of Engineers is contemplating conducting a $100,000 study of the “Ike Dike” coastal barrier project. This project requires a 35% local match, which is proposed to be shared by municipalities in the area, including Deer Park. Mayor Bechtel will describe this in detail on Tuesday evening. Should Council desire to participate financially in the cost of this study, allocation of funding will be an action item at the September 1, 2020 City Council Meeting.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
The City of Deer Park’s participation is undetermined at this time.
