Background
Yolo County Service Area 6 (CSA 6), also known as Snowball CSA, is located southeast of the town of Knights Landing, adjacent to the Sacramento River. CSA 6 is the local maintaining agency for approximately six miles of levee commencing at the Knights Landing Outfall Gates and ending at the Yolo/Sutter county line, just west of the Fremont Weir. CSA 6 is funded through a portion of the ad valorem 1% property tax. There is no Prop 218 assessment. The revenue for CSA 6 varies slightly between $39,000 and $41,000 per year (past, present, and future). This amounts to approximately $6,600 per mile for operations and maintenance of the levee system.
In 2013, the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) released guidelines for a statewide Flood System Repair Project (FSRP). The focus of the FSRP Program is to provide funding for repair of flood system performance issues. The State authorized allocation of up to $150,000,000 for the FSRP Program with DWR funding between 50-90% of eligible project costs. Local maintaining agencies, such as Yolo County, are eligible applicants for this funding.
On September 25, 2018, the Board approved a grant project agreement with the State Department of Water Resources in the amount of $200,758 for levee patrol road repairs for CSA 6.
Current Request
In early October 2018, DWR contacted the Natural Resources Division and sought to increase the grant award to ensure that adequate funding was available to implement the proposed project. DWR has recently found that most local maintaining agencies are seeking increases in existing grant awards due to project bids coming in higher than initially anticipated.
Adoption of this budget resolution allows for a total project cost increase of $70,936, of which $63,842 will be increased state funding and the remaining $7,094 will come from CSA 6 funds.
