SUMMARY:  Attached as Exhibit 11-A is an extension agreement with the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA) for assistance in implementing the District’s Community Outreach Plan.  The agreement would authorize the continuance of services that were provided by the MRWPCA Community Relations Specialist in Fiscal Year 2009-10.  As proposed, the assistance would be provided on a time and materials basis, for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,344 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11, including funds for direct costs incurred.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Committee recommend approval of the extension agreement with MRWPCA for assistance in implementing the District’s Community Outreach Plan in FY 2010-11 for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,344. If the Committee recommends approval, the contract will be brought to the District Board for authorization. 

 

BACKGROUND:  On September 21, 2009, the Board agreed to contract with MRWPCA in a cost-sharing arrangement that allowed the MRWPCA Community Relations Specialist to assist with the District’s public outreach efforts during FY 2009-2010.   District staff has determined that working with the MRWPCA Community Relations Specialist has proved to be advantageous and would like to continue the contract in FY 2010-11.

 

IMPACT TO STAFF/RESOURCES:  Funds for public outreach assistance are included in the District’s budget for FY 2010-11 that will be submitted for approval on June 21, 2010 (Project Expenditures, Public Outreach Assistance, Objective 3-1-3).
