RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/238 authorizing the Chief Engineer of the Flood Control and Water Conservation District, to fulfill the requirements of Grant Agreement D1612604, with the State Water Resources Control Board, for the Storm Water Resource Plan, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% grant revenue of $499,420 to the Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Fund 250500).

BACKGROUND:

Senate Bill 985 requires public agencies to develop a Storm Water Resource Plan in order to receive grant funding from any bond act for stormwater treatment, green infrastructure, or stormwater capture and use projects. The Flood Control and Water Conservation District, on behalf of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program, applied for grant funding from Proposition 1 to develop the plan required in SB 985. This plan is referred to as the Contra Costa Watersheds Storm Water Resource Plan and will meet future stormwater grant funding requirements for the County, Flood Control District, and all cities within the county. Grant funding to develop the plan was approved in the amount of $499,420. The State Water Resources Control Board administers the grant and prepared a Grant Agreement which the Board of Supervisors authorized the Flood Control District Chief Engineer to sign. The State Water Board requires the County to adopt a resolution giving the Chief Engineer of the Flood Control District authorization to meet certain commitments required in the Grant Agreement. Without this resolution, the State Water Board will not release grant funds to the Flood Control District.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved the Flood Control District will not receive the grant fund the State awarded the County from Proposition 1.
