Resolution Authorizing the County Administrator to Enter Into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sauk Soil & Water Improvement Group

To improve water quality in Wisconsin, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) provides grants to producer led groups that implement non-point source pollution abatement activities. As part of this grant, the Sauk County Land Resources and Environment Department will collaborate with the Soil & Water Improvement Group to help support, facilitate, document and communicate soil health and water quality improvement projects that are implemented by the group.

The DATCP Producer Led Watershed Protection Grant application requires a Memorandum of Understanding be developed for funds to be applied for and received. As a result, the Land Resources and Environment Department will act as a fiscal manager to accept and manage DATCP Producer Led Watershed Protection Grant funds on behalf of the producer-led group. A Memorandum of Understanding is attached and outlines the objectives and responsibilities of this partnership.
