RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Proposition 1 Delta Water Quality and Ecosystem Grant Program Agreement Number P1796013 (Agreement) between Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (FC District) and State of California, acting by and through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in the amount of $537,457 to provide partial funding for the Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project.


ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/294, accepting grant funds and authorizing the Chief Engineer, FC District, or designee, to execute the Agreement and process other related documents.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Grant Agreement provides State Department of Fish and Wildlife Proposition 1 funds up to $537,457. Remaining project costs will be funded by Flood Control District Zone 3B funds (Fund 252000) or other state and federal grant funds. (Project No. 7520-6B8285)

BACKGROUND:

On July 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the FC District’s application to CDFW for $537,457 of Proposition 1 Funds for the Lower Walnut Creek Restoration project. This amount represents approximately 50% of the estimated cost of design, California Environmental Quality Act compliance, and the effort to secure regulatory permits for the project. In December 2016, CDFW announced their intent to award these funds to the FC District and have recently presented the Grant Agreement for signature.

CDFW has requested a Board resolution accepting the grant award and authorizing the FC District to execute the Grant Agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval and adoption of the resolution, the FC District will be unable to accept the $537,457 CDFW grant.
