This funding will be used to help local entities prepare and implement conservation <br />plans, <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff gives a medium recommendation to the funding of this project because the <br />Covered Entity proposal is just being "kicked-off' and time is needed to ascertain what steps need to be <br />taken next. <br /> <br />4.
