On September 1, 1998, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 98/438 approving the formation of the Wiedemann Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) and appointed itself to serve as the GHAD Board of Directors. The GHAD Board is requested to adopt budgets for the GHAD operations each fiscal year. The GHAD Board is being requested to adopt the fiscal year budget for 2019/2020 as prepared by the GHAD General Manager, ENGEO, Inc., which is attached to Resolution No. 2019/01 as Exhibit A. In addition, the GHAD Board is being requested to update the GHAD General Manager payment limits under the existing Consulting Services Agreement (approved on May 19, 2009 by Resolution No. 2009/02) as required by Section 1(e) of that Agreement. The payment limit for FY 2018/2019 was $114,200. The budget attached to Resolution No. 2019/01 identifies the payment limit for FY 2019/2020 at $109,700.
The GHAD will not be able to continue operation starting July 1, 2019 if the budget is not approved.
