SUBJECT: CONTINUATION OF AGREEMENT WITH DELTA FERRY AUTHORITY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE chairman to execute amendment to Joint Powers Agreement between
the County and Reclamation Districts 2026 and 2059 providing for operation
of the Delta Ferry Authority through December 31, 1986, pending negotiation
of sale of the ferry to._ the reclamation district.
FISCAL IMPACT•
Funds for continued operation of the ferry service through the 1986-87
fiscal year are included in the County adopted budget.
BACKGROUND:
On March 31, 1981, the Board of Supervisors entered into a Joint Powers
Agreement with Reclamation Districts 2026 and 2059 and established the
Delta Ferry Authority to provide ferry services to Jersey and Bradford
Island and Webb Tract. The County initially provided for the purchase of
the ferry boat (Victory II) and a sixty percent contribution from the
County General Fund for operation and maintenance costs. County support of
the ferry service was to terminate in five years.
Due to unforeseen financial demands caused by weather related problems, the
reclamation districts maintain that they' - can not meet the full fiscal
obligation for the ferry. Negotiations between . County staff and represen-
tatives from the districts are currently underway to determine a schedule
for the districts' full assumption of the ferry service cost. Such nego-
tiations will provide an agreement superseding the subject amendment. The
new agreement is expected within the next 60-90 days.
