RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner, or designee Eileen Devlin, Sheriff's Chief of Management Services, to apply for and accept a grant from the State of California Department of Boating and Waterways for an amount up to $638,249 for the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs. Revenue; up to $638,249, 100% State. The Office of the Sheriff receives annual funding from the Department of Boating and Waterways that is built into the baseline budget.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) provides funding to maintain the service level of the Office of the Sheriff's Marine Patrol Unit on the Delta Waterways. Marine patrol operations cost roughly $1.5 million per year of which DBW has awarded $638,249 for each of the past four years. For State fiscal year 2010/11, DBW will again fund $638,249. DBW funding provides the ability for more vigilant enforcement of boating regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to secure State funding will result in a reduction in Marine Patrol Services.
