RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/382 supporting the East Bay Regional Park District's Bay Point Restoration Project grant application to the Delta Conservancy Ecosystem Restoration and Water Quality Grant Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy currently has issued a call for proposals for its Delta Conservancy Ecosystem Restoration and Water Quality Grant Program (Exhibit A). The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) will be submitting a grant proposal in the amount of $2,900,000 for the Bay Point Restoration Project (Exhibit B). The grant will supplement the $1,200,000 already secured for the project (for a total of $4,100,000), and go towards final design, environmental permitting, construction, and maintenance for the project at the Bay Point Regional Shoreline..  
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
      
    The project has four major objectives:
    1. Restore wetlands
    2. Enhance uplands
    3. Enhance wildlife habitats
    4. Adapt to sea level rise
      
    Once implemented, the project will restore and protect the ecosystem, improve water quality, and restore or maintain the wildlife in the project area.  
      
    If grant funding is secured, EBRPD plans to go out to bid for the 2018 construction season.  
      
    EBRPD is seeking a resolution of support from the County Board of Supervisors for the project, which is a requirement for the grant proposal.

    CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

    If the Board of Supervisors does not adopt the resolution in support of the project, the East Bay Regional Park District will be missing a required component in its grant proposal to the Delta Conservancy Ecosystem Restoration and Water Quality Grant Program.
