RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE National Coastal Wetlands Conservation (NCWC) Grant Agreement No. 20-073 (Grant Agreement) between the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District) and the State of California Coastal Conservancy (SCC) in the amount of $970,000 to provide partial implementation funding for the Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project, Martinez area.

ADOPT Resolution No. 2021/127, accepting grant funds and authorizing the Chief Engineer, Flood Control District, or designee, to execute the Grant Agreement and process other related documents.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Grant Agreement provides funds up to $970,000. Remaining project costs will be funded by Flood Control District Zone 3B funds (Fund 252000) or other State and federal grant funds. (Project No. 7520-6B8285)

BACKGROUND:

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved and authorized the Flood Control District to partner with the SCC to apply for grant assistance from the NCWC grant program. The SCC was ultimately successful in securing these grant funds and now requests an agreement with the Flood Control District to apply $970,000 of these NCWC grant funds to the Flood Control District’s Lower Walnut Creek Restoration project.

The SCC has requested a Board resolution accepting the grant award and authorizing the Flood Control District to execute the Grant Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval and adoption of the resolution, the Flood Control District will be unable to accept the $970,000 NCWC grant.
