RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute the License Agreement with Saint Mary’s College of California (St. Mary’s College), effective February 12, 2019, which shall remain in effect until terminated in writing, by either party, for the purpose of maintenance and rain gauge monitoring. (District II) (Project No.: 7505-6F8158)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The District monitors the collection of rain and stream gauge data, which also includes maintenance of rain and stream gauges throughout Contra Costa County. The rain gauge at St. Mary’s College was installed in 1943 and continues to be an ideal location for the monitoring equipment. As one of the conditions of the License Agreement, St. Mary’s College has requested the District to indemnify them. The indemnification language has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and Risk Management.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the License Agreement is not approved, the District will not be able to monitor the rain gauge equipment which will prevent the monitoring of rainfall for this area.
