Mr. Eslava stated that NRCS has received funding for the projects, and they are waiting final approval for the project worksheets and the green light to start work. Mr. Eslava signed Concurrence documents that afternoon with NRCS, which simply states that he concurs with the proposed design and repair methods submitted for approval. The official contracts will be received in a week or two, which will enter the City of Daphne and the NRCS into a formal agreement, and will contain the full terms and conditions of the contract. He stated that NRCS received funding about 309 days ago, which means that they are that many days into the schedule of 200 calendar days for all projects to be completely finished. Official documentation, including Finance Committee and full Council approvals must happened immediately in order for them to be able to meet Federal guidelines. The projects and funding amounts are as follows: 1.) Cedar Circle / Bryants Gulley / $227,000, 2.) Lakeview Loop (D”Olive Creek) / $86,000, 3.) Montclair Place (Lake Forest) / $89,500. 4.)
