3. AUTHORIZE the Community Development Department to be reimbursed,
subject to submitting the necessary appropriation adjustment documents to
the Board of Supervisors for approval, from the Fish and Wildlife Propagation
Fund for actual and necessary expenses in connection with staffing the Fish
and Wildlife Committee, in an amount not to exceed $3,000 per fiscal year,
effective July 1, 1996, and in an amount not to exceed $1,250 for the period
February 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996 ($250 per month), as is provided for
in Fish and Game Code Section 13103 Q).
4. REMOVE this item as a referral to the Internal Operations Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On February 5, 1996, our Committee authorized the Community Development
Department to meet not more than three times with the Fish and Wildlife Committee,
help the Committee to get organized, set a regular meeting time, elect officers,
review the charge to the Committee and suggest any changes, review the bylaws
and suggest any changes which are necessary and make recommendations to your
Committee. The County Administrator's Office was asked to provide a report on the
available funds for staffing the Fish and Wildlife Committee on an ongoing basis.
This request was confirmed by a referral of this subject to our Committee by the
Board of Supervisors on February 6,1996.
On April 1, 1996, our Committee met with John Kopchik, staff to the Fish and Wildlife
Committee and reviewed the attached staff reports from Mr. Kopchik and Mr. Van
Marter. On the basis of our review of these staff reports we are prepared to make
the above recommendations for action by the Board of Supervisors. We are
specifically not recommending that the Board of Supervisors approve the bylaws for
the Fish and Wildlife Committee since it then is necessary to have the Board of ,
Supervisors approve each and every subsequent change to the bylaws.

Re: Update on Fish and Wildlife Committee activities and recommendations from the
Fish Wildlife Committee regarding its official role, bylaws, and terms of office
The Fish and Wildlife Committee(FWC) has held two meetings since the February 5, 1996 meeting
of the Internal Operations Committee which established an interim staffing arrangement for the FWC
and enabled the FWC to begin its work. Both meetings were extremely productive. Among other
things, the FWC established a regular time and place for its meetings (the 2nd Wednesday of every
month from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Summit Centre in Martinez), elected officers, reviewed the role
assigned to the FWC by the Board of Supervisors, reviewed its bylaws, reviewed and discussed a
packet of information on the Brown Act and Better Government Ordinance, discussed staffing, and
discussed issues relating to fish and wildlife in an attempt to define goals for future FWC work. A
workplan for the FWC will be submitted to the Internal Operations.Committee in the near future.
Relative to the issues listed above, the Fish and Wildlife Committee has three recommendations for
the Board of Supervisors:
• Change the expiration date for current appointments to the FWC from October 31,
1996/1997 to February 28, 1997/1998 so that members may serve their full one or two year
terms (the first meeting of the FWC since it was reconstituted in 1994 was February 28,
1996)
• Revise the Board-mandated role for the FWC to specify Contra Costa County as the proper
geographical scope for the activities of the FWC;a specific recommendation for changing the
language of FWC role is attached
• Revise the "Procedural Guidelines" or bylaws for the FWC as is recommended in an
attachment which contains a set of revised bylaws approved by the FWC on March 13, 1996
(an additional attachment documents the changes which have been made to the previous
bylaws)
Should any of these recommendations require further explanation, staff will be happy to answer any
questions.
Thank you for your consideration of these issues.

Martinez, CA 94553
DATE: March 28, 1996
TO: INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
Supervisor Gayle Bishop
Supervisor Jim Ro ers
FROM: Claude L. Van Mart istant County Administrator
SUBJECT: FUNDING AVAILABLE TO.STAFF THE FISH
AND WILDLIFE COMMITTEE
From the fines and forfeitures imposed pursuant to any violation of the Fish and
Game Code, one-half is transmitted to the State. The other half is deposited in a
local Fish and Game Propagation Fund.
Section 13103 of the Fish and Game Code outlines the purposes for which
expenditures may be made from the local Fish and Game Propagation Fund. A copy
of Section 10103 is attached. Subdivision Q) reads as follows:
Reasonable administrative costs, excluding the costs of audits
required by Section 10104, for secretarial service, travel, and
postage by the county fish and wildlife commission when
authorized by the county board of supervisors. For purposes of
this subdivision, "reasonable cost' means an amount which does
not exceed 3 percent of the average amount received by the fund
during the previous three-year period, or three thousand dollars
($3,000) annually, whichever.Is greater, excluding any funds
carried over from a previous fiscal year.
As of July 1, 1995, the fund had a balance of $45,300:and revenue of$5,000 was
budgeted for the 1995-96 fiscal year. It is clear that at a level of $5,000 a year in
new revenue, the 3% figure will never come close to $3,000. We are, therefore,
limited to spending $3,000 from the Fish and Game Propagation Fund for the
administrative expenses of the Fish and Wildlife Committee.
