Summary
The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey to maintain a streamgage on Wildcat Creek for real-time flow data, primarily to inform flood monitoring.
The Kokomo Board of Public Works and Safety voted June 4 to approve a joint funding agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey to maintain a streamgage on Wildcat Creek that will provide real-time flow data to the city.
John Piker Group Engineering presented the agreement to the board, saying the city would enter the corporate agreement with the USGS to receive real-time data on flows in Wildcat Creek “primarily during flood events, but for other various data collection purposes.” The board approved the contract by voice vote after a motion to approve the joint funding agreement.
No funding amount or term was read into the public record during the meeting. The recorded action authorizes staff to execute the attached joint-funding agreement with the USGS; further administrative steps or reporting requirements were not specified in the meeting transcript.
