RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the State of California Department of Boating and Waterways to extend the grant term expiration from June 30 to December 31, 2009 and increase the grant award by $20,000 to a new award of $84,000 for boating safety enforcement and abandoned vessel removal.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County cost of $2,000; State grant requires a 10% match. Budgeted.

BACKGROUND:

On October 28, 2008 (Item C.56), the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept this grant from the State. The State of California Department of Boating and Waterways has provided funding to maintain the service level of the Marine Patrol Unit on the Delta Waterways. The Office of the Sheriff uses this funding to enforce boating regulations, help boaters in need of assistance, enforce boating safety, remove derelict vessels and mitigate navigational hazards.
