To do an archeological survey would require the services of a <br />competent historical/archeological consultant. Staff estimates the <br />cost of a generalized survey at $12,000 to $14,000. This cost <br />could be partially off -set through state grant funds. Such funds <br />are presently available during the current funding cycle for <br />historic/archeological grants. Such a grant would provide funding <br />on a 50/50 matching basis; however, the application deadline is <br />August 31, 1990. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />A generalized archeological survey is needed for the unincorporated <br />county. Completing such a survey would not only provide necessary <br />planning data; it would also meet several plan policies. <br />Since such a survey must be done by individuals with archeological <br />expertise, the activity cannot be done with existing staff. The <br />possibility of a state grant, however, does provide a partial <br />funding source. The remainder of the funds can be provided through <br />money budgeted in the planning division's 1990-1991 budget for <br />consulting services. <br />Staff feels that this is a necessary activity that can be done at <br />this time at a reasonable cost with partial state funding. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board authorize the staff to submit a <br />archeological survey grant application, approve use of the <br />necessary matching funds, and authorize the chairman to execute the <br />application. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to submit an archaeological survey grant appli- <br />cation, approved use of the necessary matching funds, <br />and authorized the Chairman to execute the application. <br />G.
