SUMMARY: The City of Carmel Public Works Department is requesting funding for a demonstration rain garden to be located in a prominent location on Junipero Street in Carmel (Exhibit 3-A). The project involves rainwater harvesting and irrigation, rainwater catchment, and installation of native drought tolerant plants and interpretive signs. The project will be installed by Public Works staff with a budget not to exceed $4,000.
The Water Conservation budget has funds available in objective 4-2-2 Graywater/Rainwater Demo Project. District staff met with Public Works staff to review the proposal and determined that the public location and the project plan support water conservation education.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Water Demand Committee support the City of Carmel’s installation of a demonstration garden at Public Works by recommending the Board authorize expenditure of $4,000 of budgeted funds to the project.
