Subject:Approve agreement entitled “Deposit and Disbursement of funds for San Francisco Bay IRWMP: Marin
Municipal Water District Trust Fund”
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The overall IRWMP process is managed by a Coordinating Committee with committee
members representing each of the four service areas. The Flood Control District
represents the Flood Protection/Stormwater service area.
One issue that has surfaced at the IRWMP Coordinating Committee meetings is the need
to fund certain activities, such as updating the website, collating project lists, adding
projects to the plan, etc. On September 11, 2007, the Board approved a similar agreement
with the State Coastal Conservancy, representing the Watershed/Habitat service area, as
the lead agency. That agreement established a $100,000 fund made up of contributions
from each of the four service areas. Each service area contributed $25,000 to establish the
fund. The Coordinating Committee was then able to appropriate funds and hire a
consultant, upon approval by the Committee, for various activities. Those funds have
been expended and a new agreement is needed to provide additional funds.
The Marin Municipal Water District represents the Water Supply/Water Quality service
area and has agreed to be the fiscal agent for this current agreement. Each of the four
service areas would contribute funds to the Marin Municipal Water District and they
would bank the funds in a separate account and hire consultants, once approved by the
IRWMP Coordinating Committee. The contributing share of the Flood
Protection/Stormwater service area would be collected through the Bay Area Flood
Protection Agencies Association. The Contra Costa County Flood Control District is a
founding member of the Bay Area Flood Protection Agencies Association. The Contra
Costa County Flood Control District’s share of the current agreement would be $3,000 -
$5,000, depending on how the Association calculates the proportionate share of each
Association member. The Contra Costa County Flood Control District has agreed to
collect the funds for the Bay Area Flood Protection Agencies Association and provide
those funds to the Marin Municipal Water District for the Flood Protection/Stormwater
service area agencies responsibility pursuant to the agreement.
The attached IRWMP agreement is very similar to the agreement approved by the Board
on September 11, 2007. The primary difference is that the Marin Municipal Water
District is the fiscal agent for the current agreement while the State Coastal Conservancy
was the fiscal agent for the prior agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Flood Control District will not have authorization to sign the agreement, which
would delay and disrupt a regional effort for water resource planning.
