COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
DATE: January 4, 1994
SUBJECT: Letter to Assemblyman Campbell Requesting Financial Assistance for Wildcat-San Pablo
Creeks Corps of Engineers Project, North Richmond, Project No. 7527-6D8604
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)& BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
AUTHORIZE Supervisor Tom Powers to send a letter on behalf of the Board to State of California
Assemblyman Robert Campbell requesting his assistance in locating additional funding for the
local cost share of the Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks Corps of Engineers Project.
II. Financial Impact:
The Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks Corps of Engineers Project requires $800,000 of additional local
funding.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Due to project changes to make the Wildcat-San Pablo Creeks flood control improvement project
more environmentally acceptable, the project's local cost share has increased from $2,400,000
to $3,900,000. Approximately $700,000 of the increase has been funded from Special District
Augmentation Funds and one state grant for$100,000. Staff is exploring all potential sources of
funding for the remaining $800,000 needed to complete Contracts 3 and 3a, the portions of both
creeks between the Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad lines.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Without the assistance of Assemblyman Campbell, our chances of finding and receiving any
financial assistance from the State of California are much reduced. Our failure to raise $800,000
for our local cost share could result in the loss of $4,200,000 in federal/state project funding.
