File Number: 14-051 <br />approval. On January 7, 2014 the State grant agreement documents were received for review <br />by staff and approval by the City Council. <br />Analysis <br />Under California Harbors and Navigation Code §527, a 10 -percent local matching contribution <br />is required for the Abandoned Watercraft Abatement Fund Grant. The contribution may be <br />rendered in cash, or through in-kind contributions that must be verified and approved, all at <br />the discretion of the Department of Boating and Waterways. The local matching contribution <br />could include, but is not limited to, administrative costs, personnel hours, and removal and/or <br />storage costs. The City will contribute the 10% local matching contribution in administrative <br />costs and personnel hours to oversee the contracts and prepare the watercraft for towing, <br />removal and disposal. <br />Staff estimates the costs of removal and disposal of the eight watercraft will be between <br />$4,500 and $6,500 per watercraft. If the grant is not approved the Shoreline Fund will bear <br />the cost without reimbursement. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />• General Plan, Chapter 3.3H. San Leandro Marina <br />• General Plan, Goal 9 <br />Legal Analysis <br />The City Attorney reviewed the grant agreement and has approved it as to form. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />The Abandoned Watercraft Abatement Fund grant is a sum not to exceed $49,000.00 <br />submitted to the City of San Leandro via reimbursement. Ten percent matching contribution is <br />required and the City intends to make the match through administrative costs and personnel <br />hours. <br />Budget Authority <br />An expenditure account (597-57-177) was established and will require a $49,000 <br />appropriation from the Shoreline Fund available cash. A revenue account (597-3607) was <br />established to receive reimbursements from the State for the Abandoned Watercraft <br />Abatement Fund Grant. Although the Shoreline Fund has a negative fund balance primarily <br />due to debt, there is sufficient cash available to cover expenses until the grant proceeds are <br />received. <br />PREPARED BY: Delmarie Snodgrass, Marina Manager, Public Works <br />City of San Leandro Page 2 Printed on 2125/2014 <br />
