SPECIFIC_QUESTS) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors resolve to support
the application of East Bay Regional Park District to the History and
Archeology Program, State Department of Parks and Recreation, for a
grant of $700,000 from the California Wildlife, Coastal , and Park Land
Conservation Act of 1988 for the acquisition of Vasco Caves in Eastern
Contra Costa County.
2. That the Contra -Costa County Board of Supervisor direct the
Community Development Department to assist with the grant application.
BACKGROUND:
1. While investigating the impacts of Los Vaqueros Reservoir, the State
Department of Fish and Game discovered nationally significant
pre-historic poly-chromatic pictographs in the caves of Los Vaqueros
Rocks. In order to preserve these fragile biological and cultural
resources the EBRPD Board of Directors amended the District's Master
Plan in 1985 to include Vasco Caves in future park sites to be acquired.
2. The East Bay Regional Park District is committed to preserving the
property through acquisition and has agreed with Contra Costa Water
District to match grant funding with $350,000 from each agency.
3. Once the grant is awarded, the two agencies will sign a mutual
operating agreement for the property, and EBRPD will provide a security
residence and patrols to protect this important resource.
