Our current funding is through the Coastal Erosion Planning and <br />Response Act (CEPRA), a state program also administered through the Texas General Land <br />Office. <br /> <br />We had asked Judge Emmett to fund the entire $2.8 million that is the engineer's estimate for <br />this project. CEPRA is funding, with our share, $2.5 million. What we need from the ClAP <br />funds are the difference, plus the City and County shares, which would total $300 thousand <br />shortfall shown above, and the $1.125 Million City/County match. So, instead of $2.8 million, <br />we only need approximately $1.5 million. We may need another $300 thousand for amenities <br />that were not included in the original scope (i.e. lighting, decorative banners, etc.). We would <br />be really happy with $1.8 million! <br /> <br />Hope this answers everyone's questions, and good luck with the judge. He was very receptive <br />to the idea of actually spending "coastal impact assistance" funds for coastal impact <br />assistance, instead of air quality studies... <br /> <br />Stephen <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Black, Gretchen <br />Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 1:31 PM <br />To: Porter, Alton; Joerns, John <br />Cc: Barr, Stephen; Bottoms, Ron <br />Subject: RE: Beach Renourishment Project Reminder <br /> <br />Stephen as we discussed please respond and cc to all.
