County
Subject:APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FROM THE FISH AND WILDLIFE PROPAGATION FUND TO
SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT BENEFIT FISH AND WILDLIFE IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. A portion of the fines collected from violations of fish
and game regulations in the County is deposited in the Fish and Wildlife Propagation
Fund, which as of December 31, 2010 had a balance of $116,074. State law defines how
money in this fund may be spent, but the Board of Supervisors is responsible for
authorizing specific expenditures. The projects recommended to receive funding are
consistent with the expenditure criteria established by State Law.
BACKGROUND:
On April 5, 2011, the Board approved a recommendation from the Internal Operations
(IO) Committee to refer the funding recommendations of the Fish and Wildlife
Committee (FWC) to the Internal Operations (IO) Committee. The IO Committee would
then determine which funding proposals should be submitted to the Board of Supervisors.
On April 18, 2011, the IO Committee considered the FWC recommendations and
approved submission to the Board of Supervisors.
The IO Committee is recommending funding for thirteen (13) projects totaling
$58,132.10 that demonstrate a significant benefit to the fish and wildlife resources of
Contra Costa County. A description of the funding source, history of the grant program,
explanation of the solicitation and review process for grants, summary of all grant
applications received, and specific recommendations and award conditions of the
recommended awards are provided in the attached report to the IO Committee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Projects benefiting fish and wildlife resources in Contra Costa County would not receive
grant funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Most of these projects are educational and would have a general benefit to children.
Education projects designed specifically for children include project numbers 2, 4, 7, 8,
12, 13 and 14.

SUBJECT: Grant funding recommendations from the Contra Costa County Fish and
Wildlife Committee
On April 5, 2011, the Board approved a recommendation of the Internal Operation (IO) Committee to refer
the funding recommendations of the Fish and Wildlife Committee (FWC) to the IO Committee, which
would then determine which funding proposals should be submitted to the Board of Supervisors. The
Department of Conservation and Development (DCD), on behalf of the FWC, requests IO Committee
consideration of recommended grants from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund (Fund). The FWC has
reviewed nineteen grant applications and is recommending thirteen of these for full or partial funding. The
FWC is requesting that the IO Committee consider these recommendations and make their own
recommendation for consideration by the full Board. This memo provides background on the grant
program, explains the review process performed by the FWC (including procedures to ensure potential
conflicts of interest were avoided), and documents the FWC’s recommendations on grant funding.
I. Background
Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund
The Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund was established in accordance with the California Fish and Game
Code (Code) 13100 as a repository for fines collected for certain violations of the Code and other
regulations related to fish and game. The most common fines are small ($25-$150) and typically stem
from hunting or fishing violations (e.g. not possessing a valid license), illegal take, and illegal dumping,
and are processed through the four Superior Courts. Occasionally there are larger fines or that result from
larger violations, including failure to obtain appropriate permits for activities such as streambed alteration.
These also are deposited into the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund. As of December 31, 2010, the
Fund had a balance of approximately $116,000. It is a primary responsibility of the FWC to coordinate a
process by which fine money could be appropriately “expended for the protection, conservation,
propagation, and preservation of fish and wildlife” [FGC 13100].
Page 2 of 4
FWC Grant Program
Since 1996, the Fish and Wildlife Committee (FWC) has implemented a structured process for reviewing
funding requests. The intent of this structured review process was to replace case-by-case decision-
making (such as occurred previously and such as is the norm with most other Fish and Wildlife
Committees) with a grant process that enables comparative and efficient review of applications.
The FWC developed a grant application packet (attached), which included a cover letter to explain the
grant process and funding priorities, an application to solicit relevant information about the project, and a
copy of the expenditure criteria established by California law for the Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund.
In the fall of 2010, electronic and paper copies of the application packet were sent to the Fish and Wildlife
Committee mailing list and the Contra Costa Watershed Forum mailing list, as well as made available on
the Committee’s website and to anyone who requested a copy.
In order to encourage the most diverse numbers and types of applications, the Committee instituted a
procedure in 2009 to focus one meeting per year on a particular region of the County. Organizations active
in that region present information about their structure, activities, and opportunities for collaboration with
other organizations. In October 2010, the meeting was held in West County and was as well-received as
the East County meeting in 2009.
FWC Grant Review Process in 2010/2011
A total of 19 applications requesting a total of $226,111.31 were received during the application period,
which ended December 20, 2010 (chart attached).
The Fish and Wildlife Committee discussed the funding applications at its January, February, and March
2011 meetings. Some applicants came to FWC meetings to talk about their applications during public
comment opportunities. The FWC acknowledged the hard work that went into all of the applications
received and appreciates the commitment to improving the resources of the County demonstrated by these
applications.
Procedures to Avoid Conflict of Interest
In 2010, at DCD’s request, the Office of the County Counsel provided guidance on conflict of interest
regulations applicable to the FWC grant process and criteria and procedures for members of the FWC to
recuse them from the grant review process. Each member was notified of the recusal procedures prior to
the deadline for grant application submission and the completed memo was presented and discussed at the
January FWC meeting before the grant review process commenced.
To the best of staff’s knowledge, FWC members fully complied with the conflict of interest guidance from
County Counsel. Two members were connected to grant applications reviewed by the FWC and took
appropriate steps to disclose the connection or recuse themselves, consistent with the procedures described
by County Counsel. One member had an indirect connection to one of the grant applications that required
disclosure but not recusal. Another member had direct connections to two of the grant applications and did
not attend any of three FWC meetings, did not vote on the matter, and did not participate in any way in the
FWC deliberations.

II. Recommendation of funding on grants for 2011-2012
