County of Orange Report on Grant Applications/Awards

Transcription

1 County Executive Office/Legislative Affairs Item o. 51 Vol. XII, o. 20 County of Orange Report on Grant Applications/Awards The Grants Report is a condensed list of grant requests by County Agencies/Departments that allows the Board of Supervisors to discuss and approve grant submittals in one motion at a Board meeting. County policy dictates that the Board of Supervisors must approve all grant applications prior to submittal to the grantor. This applies to grants of all amounts, as well as to new grants and those that have been received by the County for many years as part of an ongoing grant. Receipt of grants under $50,000 is delegated to the County Executive Officer. Grant awards greater than $50,000 must be presented to the Board of Supervisors for receipt of funds. This report allows for better tracking of county grant requests, the success rate of our grants, and monitoring of County s grants activities. It also serves to inform Orange County s Sacramento and Washington, D.C. advocates of County grant activities involving the State or Federal Governments.

2 Grants Report Vol. XII, o. 20 Page 2 ACTIO ITEMS Approve Grant Applications and Adopt Resolutions Care Agency (HCA) Routine Continuing Funding Applications for HCA s ($47,754,237) (Resolutions: Routine Continuing Funding Application; Local Enforcement Agency Grant; Used Oil Payment ; Waste Tire Enforcement Grant) Requester: Care Agency : Various Recurrent Grants Amount Requested: $47,754,237 Match/Cost: Varies See Table Application Due Date: Will vary throughout FY Grantor: California, California Department of Care Services, California Department of Mental, State Water Resources Control Board, California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, Governor s Office of Emergency Services, or Other Local Funding Sources; United States Environmental Protection Agency, United States Department of and Human Services, or Other Federal Funding Sources The Care Agency (HCA) requests authorization to submit 28 routine continuing funding grant applications for an aggregate amount of approximately $47,754,237. These funds support HCA programs that have become stabilized over a period of years. Even though most of these grants have evolved into regular and somewhat routine allocations, in these cases, an application is still required by the funding source in order to qualify to receive the funding. The Board of Supervisors has final approval of funds being appropriated and services provided when the program awards are presented to the Board to accept or as part of the adoption of the annual HCA budget. Certain revisions have been made to the grant authorization package submitted this year. The following two recurring grants did not require a new application last year and so have been added back to the list of funding applications to be processed this fiscal year: Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention ($832,240) Women, Infants, and Children Supplemental utrition ($4,725,495) Two grants were combined into a single grant: etwork for a California, Local Department Award ($4,096,008) Finally, the Master Grant Agreement for AIDS Related Services has been reconfigured by the granting authority and will be brought to the Board for authorization at a later date. These ongoing funds will be used to offset the cost of existing HCA positions. In addition, budgeted services and supplies will be obtained through the County s procurement and contracting processes. These grants are included in the FY Budget.

3 Grants Report Vol. XII, o. 20 Page 3 HCA has ongoing collaboration with multiple County agencies and community partners to implement these 28 ongoing grants. See attached table for specific grant-related information and program/service operations. Two of these ongoing grants require a match component consisting of California Children s Services Realignment and et County Cost, totaling approximately $7.1 million, which has been included in the FY Budget. The Care Agency requests your Honorable Board to adopt the attached resolutions approving submission of these grant applications for continued funding of various department programs. Grantors require these resolutions as a condition of applying for the grants, and HCA will return to the Board for any further actions to be taken in connection with these grants.

5 Grants Report Vol. XII, o. 20 Page 5 Funds are requested to help cover costs to construct improvements identified in the Wagon Wheel Creek Restoration Plan for sediment pollution control and urban runoff retention, infiltration, filtration and treatment while promoting natural recovery of severely degraded creek habitats. Located within the San Juan Creek Watershed, Wagon Wheel Creek runs through Riley Wilderness Park; its mature oak riparian woodland, diversified ecology, pollutant biofiltration, and outdoor recreational/educational opportunities are valuable tributes of the watershed. Gradually, the creek has changed from a historically small natural creek to an overly entrenched and widened channel resulting from urbanization. This has caused a significant loss of wetlands and habitats, heritage oak canopy, and park roads and trails; a disconnectivity of the wildlife passage and riparian ecology; increase of sediment pollution to the downstream impaired water body; expensive operations and maintenance costs; poor water quality; threat for trail closure; and unsafe condition for park users. The proposed project involves minimal environmental disturbance and significant benefits of riparian habitat enhancement. A unique blend of the Best Management Practices (BMPs) are applied to stabilize the creek to manage the threats and potential catastrophic failures and support the natural process of habitat restoration and watershed-based urban runoff management. The project includes a Maintenance ; it is an integral part of creek recovery; it provides guidelines for routine inspections and maintenance activities to safely keep the improvements in place and functioning. San Juan Creek is a 303(d) list impaired water quality concern loaded with TMDL concerns to the San Diego Water Quality Control Board. Since the Wagon Wheel Creek is located in the headwater zone of the watershed, it provides opportunities for cost effective source control of pollutants. The project is also vital to restore the connectivity of the ecology, enhance natural resources and promote outdoor recreation health and park user safety. The proposed project provides a balanced measure of widely applied bioengineering treatments with a limited application of traditional hard engineering controls. OC Parks will oversee and obtain contractor services for the implementation of the project. OC Parks will not require any new positions to process and utilize the grant funds. A minimum local match of 50 percent of the total project cost is required. OC Parks is proposing to submit an application with a total preliminary construction cost estimate of $1,306,000. Subtracting the requested grant amount of $653,000.00, the proposed local match will be $653,000. It should be noted that the 50 percent required from the applicant may be further reduced based on the project readiness and other factors to be determined by OCTA during the evaluation of the application. This project will be budgeted by the Department in the Capital Project Budget in fiscal year 2014/2015. OC Parks collaborated with OC Public Works (OCPW) to submit this grant application under the OCTA Renewed Measure M Eligibility Authority of OC Public Works; OC Parks will maintain and operate the equipment acquired and installed. There are no potential impacts to OCPW. A Board of Resolution is required for this grant. The attached general resolution has been approved by County Counsel.
