STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
DIVISION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
APRIL 30, 2003
ITEM: 7
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE FUNDING SUPPORT FOR THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
DISCUSSION:
Each fiscal year, the Board enters into an interagency agreement with the Office of the Secretary for Environmental Protection to provide partial funding for California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) staffing and operating costs. This agreement implements the funding authorized in the Annual Budget Act. The Budget Act appropriation reflects a "pro rata" approach by assigning each Cal/EPA Board, Department or Office (BDO) a proportionate share of Cal/EPA support as determined by the number of staff in each BDO. The Board approved an initial agreement with Cal/EPA in November 2002 to provide $891,000 towards the SWRCB’s "pro rata" share of the costs. The proposed amendment would provide the balance of funds needed for the SWRCB’s full share of costs.
POLICY ISSUE:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are available for support of this interagency agreement, which totals $549,000
RWQCB IMPACT:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director, or her designee, to negotiate and execute an amendment to the interagency agreement with the Office of the Secretary for Environmental Protection to provide additional funding for support of Cal/EPA activities in an amount not to exceed $549,000 for FY 2002-03.
