III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (cont)
The 1993-94 Fiscal Year Program totals approximately $180,000 jointly financed by five Bay
Area Municipalities. The Contra Costa Cities ♦ County ♦ District Stormwater Pollution Control
Program is responsible for approximately 18% of the total cost.
The San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards view
BASMAA as the regional representative for the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Programs.
Many regional and local issues are resolved by BASMAA. Therefore, its importance is critical
to the success of the Contra Costa Cities ♦ County ♦ District Stormwater Pollution Control
Program.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to participate in BASMAA could have direct negative impacts on the Contra Costa
Cities ♦ County ♦ District Stormwater Pollution Control Program. Its ability to resolve issues
will become more difficult if it needs to respond to the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley
Regional Water Quality Control Boards as one entity versus a collective organization of
Programs. This would dramatically increase the administrative and personnel costs of the
Program..
