The additional funds are needed due to increased construction costs.

DISCUSSION:
On September 22, 2015, as Item #64, the Board approved the Selma Groundwater Recharge Basin Project No. 15651, in the amount of $429,465. The Agreement provided CDBG funds to the City of Selma on a reimbursement basis for the acquisition of property and the first phase of construction of a groundwater recharge basin. Engineering and site improvements will be performed including clearing and grubbing, export and basin grading, fencing, metered intertie connection to the adjacent Consolidated Irrigation District canal, and other miscellaneous work required to make the basin operational as a recharge facility.

CDBG allocation. All remaining provisions of the Agreement dated September 22, 2015, will remain in full force and effect.
