7.B. - Page 23 of 42 <br />The Agency Would continue to collect the committed property tax revenue for the FCD. However, this property <br />tax revenue Will continue to be restricted to only fund projects Within the designated Flood Zones Where the <br />revenue is generated. The FCD currently collects approximately $3.8 miLLion annually in pre -Proposition 13 <br />property tax revenue from three flood zones. Most of the revenue is generated and spent in the Colma Creek <br />Flood Zone. In addition, the Agency Would continue to annually impose, collect, and direct to C/CAG two <br />countywide property -related fees on the tax rolls that fund the Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program. <br />These fees generate approximately $1.5 miLLion per year for the C/CAG program and are restricted to efforts by <br />C/CAG to support the County and the cities in complying with State requirements to address water quality issues <br />associated with stormwater runoff. <br />5. Initial Staffing <br />The governing board of the Agency will hire an Executive Director who will be charged with managing the <br />Agency. In addition, the two County staff members now working on cross jurisdictional flood risks under the three <br />existing MOUs would join the Agency. The Agency would hire additional staff members and also utilize consultant <br />services as appropriate. <br />During most or all of the initial three year Startup Period, the agency would enter into an agreement with San <br />Mateo County to manage and operate the FCD. At such time as the Agency has hired its own staff and/or <br />consultants with the expertise to handle this function, the agreement with the County would terminate. <br />The Agency will obtain an accounting system such as Cost Accounting Management System (CAMS) to allocate <br />staff time based on actual time spent (documented on employee timecards) to the various functions or projects <br />they are working on. This will ensure that both direct and indirect (overhead) costs are tracked and charged <br />to the appropriate areas (i.e., MOU projects, FCD functions, or Agency startup services) based upon the actual <br />amount of time spent in each area and avoid subsidizing one functional area with funds derived from another. <br />For example, the Executive Director may spend 20 hours of his or her time on FCD matters, to hours on MOU <br />projects, and 10 hours on Agency startup services in a given week. For cost recovery purposes CAMS would <br />then allocate his/her staff time charges as follows: 50% to the FCD, 25% to the MOU projects, and 25% to Agency <br />startup services. <br />Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency Agency Proposal <br />215 <br />
