F-6. RESOLUTION FOR FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PRIORITIZATION PROCEDURE MODIFICATIONS Adopt Resolution FCD 2015R005, Modifications to the Flood Control District Capital Improvement Project Prioritization Procedure (CIPPP). The District's CIPPP evaluates regional projects. The District attempts to support and recommend flood control projects that, whenever possible, will provide a regional flood control benefit, and that will also contribute to community development, maintain the benefits of existing watercourses, help protect natural habitat and landscapes, and provide multiple-use opportunities for flood control facilities. Proposals for new projects are evaluated on eight evaluation criteria (highest point value listed first): (25) Area protected; (15) flooding threat; (12) level of partner participation; (12) funding commitment and priority; (12) ancillary benefits; (10) level of protection (8) flood control/drainage master plan element; and (6) operations and maintenance cost to the District. During the fall of 2014 the District participated in a strategic planning effort with the Board of Directors and received direction to modify the CIPPP. Appropriate additions, deletions and modifications were made to the CIPPP accordingly, with areas of emphasis as follows: • The project partner’s readiness to enter into an IGA and funding availability to implement a project; • The expectation that the project partner provides a higher level of cost share participation and contributes at least 50% of the project cost; ; • Potential community economic benefits; • Flooding issues caused by inadequate regulation by the requesting agency; and • Redistribution of point allocations between the 8 criteria. The modified CIPPP will be implemented starting with the FY2017 procedure. This Agenda Item impacts all supervisorial districts. (C-69-15-036-6-00)
