MEMORANDUM
TO: PRWFPA Board of Directors
FROM: Lidia Gutierrez, Gutierrez Consultants
SUBJECT: Legislative Support for the Pajaro River Flood Risk
Reduction Project
MEETING DATE: March 10, 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Budget Amendment in the amount of $6,300 to fund expenses
related to the legislative support for the Pajaro River Flood Risk Reduction
Project.
BACKGROUND:
The Pajaro River Watershed Flood Prevention Authority (Authority) was
established by the California State Legislature in 2000 to “identify, evaluate,
fund and implement flood prevention and control strategies in the Pajaro
River Watershed on an intergovernmental basis.” To accomplish this goal,
the Authority’s Board of Directors has committed to supporting the Pajaro
River Flood Risk Reduction Project, including supporting the effort to secure
the necessary federal funding, staffing and commitment to continue project
planning, engineering and environmental documentation. Staff is
recommending that this support involve a lobbying trip to Washington D.C.
to meet with elected officials, representatives from the Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), and relevant legislative budget committee representatives.
DISCUSSION:
The Pajaro River Flood Risk Reduction Project is a joint effort between the
Corps and the Local Sponsors (Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties).
Historically, inconsistent and inadequate federal funding and staffing has

severely delayed the development of a Corps flood protection strategy, leaving the
Pajaro Valley at significant risk of additional flooding, threats to life and safety, and
continued economic damages. However, over the last two years substantial progress
was recorded with respect to its acceptance into the Corps SMART planning process,
an Alternative Formulation Briefing Conference, execution of a new Feasibility Cost
Share Agreement, execution of a contract for the required NEPA and CEQA
documents, and then the receipt of full federal funding through completion of the
study. Most of the pressing time sensitive matters appeared to be resolved.
Unfortunately, additional time sensitive matters have resurfaced.
Since the conversion to the Corps’ SMART planning in August 2014, the project study
schedule has slipped 18 months in what is supposed to be a three-year planning effort.
These delays postpone the study completion date and led to the Army Corps of
Engineers placing the project on inactive status. A projected conclusion is now well
outside the three year planning window and the entire project is in jeopardy, which
requires additional federal attention to restart the project.
The Local Sponsors, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties along with the City of
Watsonville, are working diligently to get the Federal support needed to get the
project restarted. As recommended by their lobbyist and Congressman Panetta, the
Local Sponsors intend to work with elected representatives and the Corps, both
locally and in Washington DC, to raise the attention on and priority of the Pajaro
River project.
The Local Sponsors will be scheduling meetings with the local offices of elected
representatives and travelling to Washington D.C. to meet with headquarters and
capitol staff, as recommended by the lobbyist. The timing for the visit is unknown at
this time and is dependent on the staffing transitions in Washington DC and the
priorities of the new administration.
Local Sponsors are seeking support from the Authority to join them in a visit to
Washington DC to request priority attention to the Project study. A joint delegation
from the Counties and the Authority would be advantageous and would demonstrate
the unprecedented support of four counties in the state. Although the timing of the
visit is not known yet, it would likely require an expedited response to plan the trip
after a decision is made.
Santa Cruz and Monterey County staff and Supervisors and City staff and council
member will likely be participating in the trip. Staff is recommending that the Santa
Clara or San Benito representatives of the Authority and the Authority consultant,
Page 30 of 38
Lidia Gutierrez, also participate in the trip. The goal of Authority representation is to
express the four county regional support for the project funding and priority.
Meetings with the legislative and Corps representatives will be scheduled by the
Local Sponsors’ lobbyists and will likely occur over two days. Typically, the day
before and day after the meeting days are dedicated to travel, resulting in a four day
itinerary. The estimated travel costs and expenses per person for the trip is $2,100, as
detailed below, and the staff is recommending participation of up to three Authority
representatives. In addition, the Authority would incur costs for the consultant’s
travel and work time during the trip, approximately $6,300. The amount for
consultant costs included in the adopted budget is adequate to cover the consultant’s
fees for the trip to Washington D.C.
Airfare $600
Hotel $1,200
Meals $300
