III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Under current State legislation, the State Department of Water
Resources reimburses local agencies for 75 percent of their right
of way costs and 90 percent of their relocation costs incurred in
implementing a federal flood control project. Recently, the
federal government has changed its cost sharing regulations on
federal flood control projects to require the local sponsor to
pay 5 percent of total project cost as a cash contribution to the
federal government in addition to the previously required
financing of project rights of way and relocation costs.
Senate Bill No. 502 establishes new State guidelines for reim-
bursements by the State Department of Water Resources which will
provide a 70 percent reimbursement of all non-federal project
costs.
