III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The State of California has adopted legislation to make the State
Department of Water Resources Subvention Program Guidelines
compatible with the new federal cost sharing regulations passed
by Congress for all Federal Flood Control Projects. The revised
state guidelines establish a 70% reimbursement on all non-federal
project cost including the mandatory 5% cash contribution by the
local sponsor.
The project financing report presented to the Board on April 26,
1988 indicated that the revised guidelines would increase the
State participation by $900, 000 thereby cutting the project
deficit from $1, 800, 000 to $900, 000.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Our local cost share will be greater under the old guidelines.
