Body
I. SUMMARY
The Carriage Crest Park Stormwater and Runoff Capture Project (Project No. 1515) is one of the projects in our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) currently in the design phase (Exhibit No. 1). The project is entirely funded through a $13 million grant from Caltrans designed to assist the City in compliance with its storm water permit requirements.
