RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner or Mary Jane Robb, Sheriff's Chief of Management Services, or designee to apply for and accept a grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways, in an amount not to exceed $35,000 for the purchase of equipment in the Marine Patrol Unit for the period January 15, 2014 through June 30, 2029.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No net County costs. $35,000 in new revenue; 100% State.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is prepared to award an equipment grant to the Office of the Sheriff to increase the Sheriff's Marine Patrol capabilities. The grant funds shall be used to purchase parts and labor to repower a vessel, one rigging tube kit, steering kit, hose kit, vessel view kit, harness, miscellaneous clamps, grease oil, etc. The increased capabilities available through this grant will provide the necessary equipment to maintain maritime patrol and response, and thus protect life and property on the waterways within Contra Costa County. DBW recognizes the critical importance of the Marine Patrol boating safety and enforcement mission within Contra Costa County. No matching fund requirement exists.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action on this request will result in the loss of State funding designed to significantly increase the safety and security of persons and property on the waterways within Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
