Mitigation of the Heron Bay project was accomplished by construction of wetlands, tidal wetlands, and upland or high ground for wildlife habitat. In order to verify that the habitat is healthy and in order to identify maintenance requirements a monitoring report is prepared annually. r A Maintenance Reserve Fund is maintained by the District in the amount of $300,000 to fund capital improvements and unexpected or emergency repairs. There have not been any withdrawals from the reserve fund this past fiscal year and none are anticipated for the coming fiscal year. �; • • •mummcx= The nature of the levees that protect the Heron Bay marshland is such that they require periodic maintenance; specifically, the heavy stone rip rap that prevents erosion shifts, settles, or washes away and needs to be replaced. This work is most efficiently done by an outside contractor in large quantities. In fiscal year 2009-10 the Heron Bay Levee Maintenance account was established. Provided that there were funds available, the District contributed to the account each year. To date, the District has contributed $372,000 towards the maintenance of the levee, which appears sufficient to address areas of the levee City staff has identified that need repair. Any unused funds will be returned to the District. City staff, through a consultant, is in the process of obtaining permits from various regulatory agencies to repair levee sections identified for maintenance. Upon the issuance of the necessary permits, City staff on behalf of the District, will bid and construct the project within permit prescribed guidelines. Experience from past levee repairs and related work indicate that the permitting agencies allow work in the area only in Fall between September and end of December. Ent!yway Landscape Plan to rehabilitate the landscaping at the entrance to the development along Lewelling Blvd, between Wicks Blvd and the roundabout, started in Fiscal Year 2013/2014. Completion of this project has been delayed in order to coordinate with the HOA's plans to install a new monument sign and possibly a new check-in/security building. It is anticipated that the project will be completed in the coming fiscal year. City Staff is working with Stopwaste.org to investigate the possibility of receiving grant funds to offset portions of the landscape upgrade, with the intent of utilizing Bay Friendly Landscape Guidelines.
