Subject:Proposition 84 Grant Application Cost Share payment for the Upper Sand Creek Basin. Project No.
7562-6D8518
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
developed a "functional equivalent" IRWMP and used it to successfully apply for Prop 50 funding for several
projects in East County. The FC District’s Upper Sand Creek Basin project is in the ECCC IRWMP.
In the latter months of 2010 through January 2011, the ECCC IRWM Group has, through Contra Costa Water
District, hired a consultant to successfully prepare and submit an implementation grant application for Prop 84.
Contra Costa County, through the Contra Costa Water Agency, has entered into an agreement to share the costs of
developing the grant application. The grant application preparation costs are being shared in proportion to the
requested amount.
The FC District is requesting a grant amount of $2,000,000 for its Upper Sand Creek Basin project, which is one of
seven (7) projects in the total grant request of $12,660,000. The FC District’s proportionate share of the $167,500
professional services cost is 16%, or $26,461. The funds are to be paid directly to the Contra Costa Water District
under the authority of an agreement executed by a representative of the Contra Costa Water Agency.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The FC District will not have the authorization to pay its share of the grant proposal costs to the Contra Costa Water
District. This could delay payment to the consultant who prepared the grant proposal in good faith. The FC District
may not be eligible to receive $2,000,000 in Prop 84 grant funds and the FC District would need to seek other funding
sources to construct the Upper Sand Creek Basin project.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
