7.B. - Page 38 of 42 Flood and Sea Level Rise Resiliency Agency FAQ over the first three years would be $1.5 million dollars, which would be paid by the county (50%) and the cities (50%). Additional MOU services, and continuing FCD responsibilities, would be paid by participating cities and the existing flood zones, respectively. Table 1. Cost Breakdown by Population. Tiers based on Population City Break -Down Population # of Cities Cost Per City 1 0-20,000 7 $25,000 2 20,001-60,000 9 $40,000 3 60,001+ 4 $55,000 18. What will motivate cities with existine MOU aroiects to Darticioate in the Aeencv? The County has been providing the bulk of the funding for the MOU projects. This funding will expire in June 2019. This Proposal recommends that the County provide half of the Agency funding for the first three years of its operation. The Agency is designed to provide assistance and coordination for these projects and would be formally a part of the new agency. A key function that the Agency would be expected to provide is the pursuit of Regional, State, and Federal funding opportunities. The MOU projects will be expensive so their progress will depend on the success in obtaining grants. For these reasons participation by the cities with MOUS in the Agency would be mandatory to advance the projects beyond June 2019. 19. What will motivate cities with NO existine MOU aroiects to participate in the Aeencv? The initial work related to flooding, SLR, erosion, and stormwater improvements would provide value to most, if not all, agencies in the county. The cost of this initial work, when spread over most agencies within the County, would be modest and should justify broad participation. Much like the other MOU projects, it would be necessary for the Agency to enter into some agreement with the participating agencies to fund this effort prior to initiating the work. In addition, it would be anticipated that other MOUS would be created. For example, the Seymour Ditch erosion problem might trigger an MOU between the County, the Agency, and Half Moon Bay. 20. What will the first MOU projects be? In addition to continuing the existing MOU projects — see the Factsheet to learn about the Navigable Slough Feasibility Study, the Belmont Creek Flood Management Plan, and the Bayfront Canal & Atherton Channel Flood Management & Restoration Project — new MOU projects would be developed with cities interested in collaboration. The new agency would be the lead in developing the MOU, the scope of work, hiring the consultants, and overall management of moving the MOU projects forward. 21. If a citv ioins the new Aeencv for one Droiect do thev enter for every oroiect? Similarly. if a citv has only one project, can they exit once the project is complete? As discussed above in Question 16, broader issues like multi -jurisdictional flooding, sea level rise, erosion, and stormwater improvements will warrant funding countywide. Funding for this type of broader need would be in addition to the requirements of an individual MOU. The funding for a project is defined by the MOU participants. A city would not participate in the funding of another project governed by a separate MOU. Page 5 230
