RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), to enable the County to be reimbursed up to $10,000 to offset the cost of County staff participation in the Adapting to Rising Tides - Eastern Contra Costa County study being conducted by BCDC, for the period of October 16, 2017 through January 31, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County's cost to support and participate in the Adapting to Rising Tides - Eastern Contra Costa County study will be offset by $10,000 with funds from BCDC. This will help cover the cost of participation for the following positions: Deputy Director, Department of Conservation and Development; Principal Planner, Department of Conservation and Development; Senior Civil Engineer, Department of Public Works.

BACKGROUND:

On May 23, 2017, the Board of Supervisors received a presentation from the Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) about the Adapting to Rising Tides study. The Board at that time invited BCDC to extend the study to eastern Contra Costa County, as recommended by the Ad Hoc Committee for the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative. Staff of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) have worked with BCDC on a scope of services and budget that will offset a portion of the cost associated with County staff participation in the study.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to authorize the contract means the County will forego funds that could offset the cost of County participation in the Adapting to Rising Tides - Eastern Contra Costa County study.
