Purpose

To participate in the County Conservation Aids grant program. 

Background

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) has grant funding available through the County Conservation Aids (CCA) program, specifically for the installation of fish and game projects under Wis. Stat. § 23.09(12). The CCA program is a 50% reimbursement grant. In 2018, the Sauk County Parks Department was awarded $2,435, and budgeted $2,435 to fulfill the reimbursement portion of the grant. This total, $4,870, will be carried forward to be combined with the 2019 CCA grant and the County’s contribution. The estimated total for 2019 is $4,870. The total from both years equals an estimated amount of $9,740, which will be applied to pier replacement at the North End Boat Landing.
