SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO MARCH 13 , 1990 WATER COMMITTEE REPORT
REGARDING SHELL OIL SPILL MITIGATION DOLLARS
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
1. Amend March 13 , 1990 Board Order, to exclude $250,000 from
recommendation 13 . a) , authorizing proceeds from the Shell
Oil spill mitigation settlement to be used for water and
wildlife/habitat projects, in order to be consistent with
previous Board decisions.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the Shell Oil spill
settlement has already been appropriated to the District
Attorney' s budget ( 0242) . Without this revenue in the District
Attorney' s budget, a $250,000 budget deficit will occur.
BACKGROUND
As part of the Fiscal Year 1989/90 budget reduction plan, the
Board of Supervisors approved an increase to District Attorney
revenue by $250,000 in recognition of revenue to be received from
the Shell Oil spill settlement. The District Attorney is
responsible for prosecution of environmental law violations, such
as the Shell Oil spill, and is therefore an appropriate recipient
of this revenue.

BY DEPUTY
-2-
The Water Committee recommended that the proceeds from the Shell
Oil spill mitigation settlement be used for water and
wildlife/habitat projects, and not be deposited in the General
Fund. Approval of this recommendation on March 13 , 1990 was
contrary to earlier Board approval of the budget reduction plan.
This Board Order amends the March 13 action to make it consistent
with previous Board decisions. Adoption of this amendment
authorizes the Water' Committee to seek Shell Oil spill settlement
dollars for wetlands enhancement beyond the $250 ,000 already
appropriated.
