RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/136 approving and authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner or designee, to apply for and accept a California Division of Boating and Waterways Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange Grant in an initial allocation of $440,945 for the abatement of abandoned vessels and the vessel turn in program on County waterways for the period beginning October 1, 2023 through the end of the grant funding availability.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$440,945; 90% State, 10% County in-kind match (Budgeted).

BACKGROUND:

The California Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is prepared to award Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange grant to the Office of the Sheriff to assist the Sheriff's Marine Patrol with the removal of abandoned vessels and water hazards. The funding provided by this grant will enable the Marine Patrol Unit to remove abandoned vessels and identified hazards to vessel navigation in a continued effort to protect life and property on the waterways within Contra Costa County.

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.
