RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2011-34 in support of Contra Costa County's Federal Fiscal Year 2012 appropriations requests, as specified in the 2011 Federal Legislative Platform.

FISCAL IMPACT:

These appropriations requests, if passed by Congress, would bring millions of dollars to Contra Costa County to support the implementation of the various projects contained in the Federal Legislative Platform.

BACKGROUND:

Each year, Contra Costa County submits appropriations requests to our Congressional Delegation in support of various projects that are important to the County. These projects are listed in the County's Federal Legislative Platform. (See related agenda item.) For Federal Fiscal Year 2012, while it is uncertain how the new Republican Leadership will treat appropriation requests from House members, it is nevertheless important for our Congressional delegation to know our priorities so they can advocate for the critical investments in our communities. In this process, Congressman John Garamendi has requested that appropriations requests be accompanied by a resolution of support from the Board of Supervisors for the projects we are requesting. The attached Resolution fulfills that requirement.

(If individual resolutions are requested for each project, the resolutions will be similar to the ones attached for the three projects sponsored by the County's Flood Control District: Mt. Diablo Mercury Mine Clean-up, Lower Walnut Creek, and Grayson and Murderer's Creek Flood Control Project.)

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
