RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, or designee, to make a payment in the amount of $16,500.27 to the Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID) for services provided to Contra Costa County in Fiscal Year 2019-2020, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Bethel Island area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Fund 110800 Road Maintenance-Road Fund

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this payment is not approved, the BIMID will not be paid and could jeopardize Permit compliance status.

BACKGROUND:

BIMID last entered into a contract with Contra Costa County between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2019, and various contracts since 2009 for inspecting, maintaining, cleaning, and disposing of pollutants and illicit discharges from publicly owned and maintained canals and drainage facilities that are located within the public right-of way and easement on Bethel Island in conformance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Regional Permit (Permit) issued by the Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Drainage maintenance employs Best Management Practices (BMPs) to ensure stormwater quality is protected to the maximum extent practicable. The work also includes pump maintenance at all Bethel Island stormwater pump stations and public education. These contracts were previously funded by stormwater utility assessments.

Since the expiration of the last contract, BIMID has continued to provide these services to the residents of Bethel Island. The County is currently negotiating a new contract with payment from road funds instead of stormwater utility assessments. Staff recommends that the Board authorize payment to BIMID for the services provided over the last year.
