FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: April 21, 1987
SUBJECT: Continuation of Agreement with Delta Ferry Authority 7854-2319
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
AUTHORIZE chair to execute amendment to Joint Powers Agreement between the County and
Reclamation Districts 2026 and 2059 providing for operation of the Delta Ferry
Authority through June 30, 1987, pending negotiation of sale of the ferry to the
reclamation district.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funds for continued operation of the ferry service through the 1986-87 fiscal year
are included in the County adopted budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
On March 31, 1981 the Board of Supervisors entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with
Reclamation Districts 2026 and 2059 and established the Delta Ferry Authority to
provide ferry services to Jersey and Bradford Island and Webb Tract. The county
initially provided for the purchase of the ferry boat (Victory II) and a sixty
percent contribution from the County General Fund for operation and maintenance
costs. County support of the ferry service was to terminate in five years.
Due to unforeseen financial demands caused by weather related problems, the
reclamation districts maintain that they can not meet the full fiscal obligation for
the ferry. Negotiations between County staff and representatives from the districts
are currently underway to determine a schedule for the districts' full assumption of
the ferry service cost. Such negotiations will provide an agreement superseding the
subject amendment. The new agreement is expected within the next 60-90 days.
