RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing board of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, REFER the draft Flood Control Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2017/18 to 2023/24 to the Transportation, Water and infrastructure Committee to receive and consider public comments on the plan at the November 8, 2018, committee meeting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs associated with the Draft Plan are funded through various Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District) funds. Once approved, projects on the Draft Plan will obtain funding prior to implementation.

BACKGROUND:

The Flood Control District has prepared the Draft Plan to program its capital projects for flood control improvements throughout Contra Costa County for fiscal years 2017/2018 to 2023/2024.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 10, 2018, staff presented the Draft Plan to the TWI Committee and requested that they accept the Draft Plan, open a public comment period, and schedule a public meeting to be held at their November 8, 2018, meeting. The TWI Committee accepted the Draft Plan and directed staff to schedule this item at the September 18, 2018, meeting of the Board of Supervisors for consideration and approval. This item fulfills the TWI Committee's direction.

The Draft Plan is a programming document for the funding of capital projects within the Flood Control District. The Draft Plan is prepared under the guidance of the Flood Control District’s 2005 Expenditure Policy and is intended to inform the public and community stakeholders about flood control projects. In the next eight weeks, the Draft Plan will be shared with various community stakeholders and interested parties, including the Contra Costa Watershed Forum and the Contra Costa County Fish and Wildlife Committee. A copy of the Draft Plan will also be made available for public review at the Flood Control District Office and posted on its website. Comments will be received, considered, and discussed at the November 8, 2018, TWI Committee’s meeting. If a recommended plan is agreed upon, said plan will be recommended to the Board of Supervisors for adoption.

Review and adoption of the plan does not automatically approve any capital project. Capital projects are subject to separate public review, engineering feasibility analysis, environmental assessment, and approval by the Board of Supervisors. The plan is intended to be a living document updated every two years or as needed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this public review process, the Flood Control District cannot adopt its Capital Improvement Plan in compliance with the Board of Supervisors adoption of the 2005 Flood Control District Expenditure Policy.
