Memorandum
Date: February 27, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors, sitting as Lake County Board of Directors Watershed Protection District
From: Scott De Leon, Director Water Resources
Subject: (Sitting as Lake County Board of Directors Watershed Protection District) Adopt Resolution authorizing the County of Lake Water Resources Director to accept funds from California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Flood System Repair Project (FSRP) for much-needed repairs to levee maintenance areas within the Upper Lake levee system.
Executive Summary:
Staff is requesting the Board of Supervisors, acting as the Directors of the Lake County Watershed Protection District (District), to authorize the Water Resources Director to accept funds from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Flood System Repair Project (FSRP).
The FSRP is a bond-funded program that repairs rural State Plan of Flood Control (SPFC) facilities of the Sacramento and San Joaquin River systems under state and LMA cost-share agreements. The Goal of the FSRP program is to provide assistance to Local Maintaining Agencies (LMAs) in implementing flood risk reduction projects.
This resolution, if approved from DWR, would allow the District to enter into a Project Partnership Agreement with DWR, with cost-share provisions that would be used to complete much-needed repairs to the levee maintenance areas within the Upper Lake levee system.
Therefore, staff is requesting the District to approve and sign the resolution authorizing acceptance of funds for the FSRP and enter into Project Partnership Agreement.
