15 2016 Funding Information 15

16 What funds Green Infrastructure: Urban waterway & wash improvements in right-of-ways along streets, parking lots, parks, or public spaces like churches and schools Prioritize projects with connection to designated wash and/or riparian area Prioritize projects in areas of concentrated flow or flooding Habitat restoration & preservation along/near washes or upland drainages Mitchell Park Henry Elementary Atturbury Wash 16

17 C2E Will NOT Fund The expansion of irrigation from potable water sources Hardscape (e.g., concrete structures, retaining walls, impervious stormwater conveyance) Improvements that are entirely contained on private property, unless the private property is located within a wash or waterway and the applicant can demonstrate that the improvements will generate public benefit in excess of the funding request 17

18 2016 C2E Priorities In the 2016 grant cycle, the C2E Advisory Council will prioritize projects that benefit important riparian areas, emphasize partnerships and community access to green space, have high levels of C2E participation, and feature strong long-term stewardship commitments. In addition, areas with low urban tree canopy cover and high surface temperature will receive special consideration. 18

19 Grant requirements & 2016 changes Location: Tucson Water service area and/or Pima Co. Wastewater service area (Customers in project area must receive Utility Services Statement) demonstrated connection to a urban wash or riparian area PAG Green Infrastructure Online Map Budget: Project budget cannot exceed $7,500 50% match required Budget narrative that describes expenses Community Support: Affected landowners must submit letters of support One bonus point will be awarded for each participant signed up on the Dashboard (up to 5 points). Provide a list of their names for cross-reference. 19

20 PAG Green Infrastructure Mapping Tool Map 1 Urban Context Directions Start with the Streets map background (select in top left corner). Center the map on your project site and zoom in to show a several block area surrounding the site. If project site is not obvious, indicate with a symbol. Click to open the Legend in the bottom left corner of the screen. Check the boxes next to the following words to turn on the associated layers: Stormwater, Washes, Watersheds and Regional Surface Temperature. Use the Print button or a screen capture to save this map and insert into application. 20

22 PAG Green Infrastructure Mapping Tool Map 2 Project Site Details Directions Switch to Imagery background. Zoom in to your project site. Turn off the Watersheds and Regional Surface Temperature layers in the Legend by un-checking the box beside it. Use the Print button or a screen capture to save this map and insert into application. 22

23 Map 2: Project Site Details 23

24 PAG Green Infrastructure Mapping Tool Map 3 Connections to Washes and Riparian Habitat Directions Use the measure tool to map the distance in feet between the project site and the nearest wash or riparian area. Minimize legend to use the measure tool. Make sure to measure from site to actual wash, not just a flow line (they are both blue). Double-click to stop measuring. Use the Print button or a screen capture to save this map and insert into application. 24

YES!

27 Budget Narrative Materials: Describe the type and quantity of each material that you included in your budget (e.g., rocks, mulch, plants, water, DriWater, etc.). Explain how each cost estimate was determined, and include the intended source of the material and price quotes for items when possible. Example: Our design requires three velvet mesquites and two blue palo verde trees for planting in three basins. Trees will be obtained from Trees for Tucson. (5 trees) x ($15 per tree) = $75 C2E cost Services: Include the cost of all contracted work (curb cuts/cores, excavation, etc.), consultative work (e.g., expert assistance with project planning, design, and installation), and services (e.g., cost of right-of-way or excavation permits, workshop/educational/training fees, etc.) in this category. Explain each expense, noting why it is necessary for the project and how the cost was calculated. Volunteer labor rates: Unskilled labor (digging, planting, weeding, etc.) $12 per hour for adults, $7 per hour for children Professional services (e.g., landscape architect, arborist, engineer, educator, project coordinator) $35 per hour or as otherwise documented (do not include overhead in quotes for donated labor). 27
