RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/493 authorizing the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for and accept a grant from the California Department of Boating and Waterways in an initial amount of $738,249 for marine patrol and boating regulations enforcement beginning July 1, 2016 through the end of the available grant funding. This action supersedes action by the Board of Supervisors on February 9, 2016, item number C.47 in which a resolution was not attached.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Initial Revenue of $738,249, 100% State funds. The Office of the Sheriff receives annual funding from the Department of Boating and Waterways that is incorporated in the baseline budget.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) provide funding to maintain the service level of the Office of the Sheriff's Marine Patrol Unit on the Delta Waterways. Marine patrol operations cost roughly $2.4 million per year of which DBW has awarded $638,249 for each of the past six years. Beginning July 1, 2016, DBW will fund an additional $100,000 for a total initial amount of $738,249. DBW funding provides the ability for more vigilant enforcement of boating regulations.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to secure State funding will result in a further reduction in Marine Patrol Services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
