RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute a license agreement with Wild and Radish, LLC, to install and maintain rain gauge and other monitoring equipment at 680 Marin Road, El Sobrante, effective July 13, 2021, as recommended by the Chief Engineer. (Project No.: 7505-6F8155).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The District monitors the collection of rain and stream gauge data, which also includes maintenance of rain and stream gauges throughout Contra Costa County. The rain gauge and other equipment will be installed at the end of 680 Marin Road in El Sobrante, commonly identified as Assessor’s Parcel No. 426-182-017, which is an ideal location for the monitoring equipment. In consideration for the owner granting the license, the District will indemnify and defend the owner from any liabilities that arise from the use of the owner’s property. District staff recommend that the Board approve the execution of the license agreement to ensure the District can collect important rain and weather-related information.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this license agreement is not approved, the District will not have the necessary rights to install the rain gauge and to perform maintenance and equipment monitoring services.
