RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Fiscal Year 2016/17 Appropriation Adjustment No. 5068 and AUTHORIZE the transfer of $990,000 from the General Fund-Appropriations for Contingencies to Public Works Flood Control for the funding deficit in the Wildcat/San Pablo Creeks Levee Remediation Project, as recommended by the Finance Committee, North Richmond area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
One-time General Fund subsidy to the Wildcat/San Pablo Creeks Levee Remediation Project.
BACKGROUND:
Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks are two streams that drain adjoining watersheds within western Contra Costa County. Historically, the two creek basins combined into a common floodplain that extended through the unincorporated community of North Richmond before draining into San Pablo Bay. Both creeks were channelized and levees constructed by the Corps of Engineers between 1988 and 1992 and turned over to the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (District) for long-term maintenance.
