FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: June 2, 1987
SUBJECT: May 5, 1987 Referral - Membershi p, California Central Valley Flood Control Association
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification('
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) AUTHORIZE County membership in the California Central Valley Flood Control Association.
2) ASSIGN responsibilities for attendance of Association meetings to either Community
Development Department (Water Agency staff) or Public Works Department (Flood Control
staff) .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The annual cost to the County is estimated to be $500 for membership and $800 for staff
labor to attend meetings .
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Last year we evaluated a similar request of the California Central Valley Flood Control
Association (CCVFCA) . The activities of the CCVFCA deal primarily with the Sacramento-
San Joaquin Rivers and the Delta. In our County delta flood control work is perfo need by the
individual reclamation districts . The County Flood Control District has no involvement in
this area except to advise the County on develop;iient applications . Our County Flood Control
District is currently a member of the California Flood Control Association and the National
Association of Flood Management Agencies . Both of these organizations are more aligned
with urban drainage issues .
We believe the main justification for Contra Costa County participation in CCVFCA is to
support activities leading to possible delta levee restoration and thus protection of the
delta water supply. The secondary justification is to support the various reclamation
districts in the County in their efforts to obtain federal delta levee restoration funds .
Based on the above, we recommend that consideration be given to joining CCVFCA and that the
Water Agency staff in the Co►nmuni ty Development Department be assigned liaison responsibility.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Potential loss of support-interaction on the delta water issue.
