| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The State Department of Water Resources has implemented a new funding program for levee maintaining agencies called the Flood Maintenance Assistance Program. This program is designed to provide financial assistance to these local agencies for the purposes of 1) funding a System-Wide Improvement Framework, and/or 2) implementing deferred maintenance activities.
County Service Area 6, also known as the Snowball CSA, exists to maintain and operate approximately six miles of levee along the Sacramento River surrounding the rural community of Knights Landing. CSA-6 is already party to an existing System-Wide Improvement Framework and proposes to use the $85,000 grant for deferred maintenance activities, such as general levee maintenance (clearing debris, removing illegal encroachments, etc.), vegetation control (burning, spraying, slope dragging, etc.), and rodent control (baiting, trapping). There is no match required to obtain these funds.
As a condition of accepting this funding, the County is required to commit to signing an additional agreement with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board to assume responsibility for operation and maintenance of the project. The County already assumes full responsibility for CSA-6, therefore signing this agreement does not expose the County to any increase, or new, liability. |
