MONSEN, P.E. Director MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Pete Kremer, County Executive and Honorable Members of the County Council FROM: Jeffrey M. Monsen, Director d � RE: May Supplemental Budget Request, Water Resources Plan DATE: April 24, 2000 Phone: (360) 6766692 County: (360) 398 -1310 FAX: (360) 7384561 Attached for your review and consideration are three supplemental budget requests, all of which are directly related to the Water Resource Fond. These requests implement items as outlined in the Water Resources Plan, including WRIA I Watershed Planning and Salmon Recovery. A. Reallocation of monies from existing budget appropriations (two items). B. Increase budget appropriations to find items administered by the Watershed Management Project Joint Board (IG Decision Makers) (three items). C. Increase budget appropriations for other Water Resource items (six items). Al. Fish Biologist Position: Currently there are a number of needs within the County thatjustify a full time position for a Fish Biologist. With the passage of ESA legislation, the County must pursue work activities that respond to this legislation. This need will require the County to have an in -house technical resource to get work permits and develop short and long -term work plans that address ESA issues. During the Council Work Session on April I lo' regarding Water Resources, staff requested Council direction regarding conversion of the existing contract with WA State Department of Fish & Wildlife for a fish biologist to a full -time equivalent (FTE) County employee. Council provided direction to seek a full -time County position. A2. Professional Clerical Support for Stakeholder Meetings: As indicated in the Comprehensive Water Resource Plan, the Water Resources Division is facilitating stakeholder processes that address the numerous water issues facing Whatcom County. Pete Kremen/County Council April 24,2000 Page 2 During 2000, a number of stakeholder meetings including the Marine Resources Committee, WRIA 1 Technical Teams and Lake Whatcom stakeholders require clerical support. Given the dramatic increase in the number of stakeholder meetings, Water Resources is unable to provide staff for clerical support. The enclosed supplemental budget request provides funding for professional services to accomplish this task through the remainder of the year. Bl. Water Rights Analysis: In May 1999, the County Council approved an interlocal agreement between the County and Public Utilities District No. 1 to perform water rights analysis of WRIA 1. Approval of [his agreement included a total budget of $250,000 of which $60,000 was approved for work conducted in 1999. On March 7, 2000, the County Council approved continuation of the PUD water rights analysis through Phase 1. The attached budget request will provide funding to complete this first phase. B2. WRIA 1 Technical Studies: In April 2000, the WRIA 1 Planning Unit, Initiating Governments and County Council approved the implementation of technical studies for the WRIA I Watershed Management Project planning process. The technical studies phase of the planning process will involve work conducted by Utah State University and U.S. Geological Survey. This work will provide technical information for water quantity, water quality, instream flows and habitat to support development of the watershed plan. The attached budget will provide funding to accomplish technical studies that need to occur in 2000. B3. Stream Gauging WRIA I In support of the WRIA 1 Watershed technical studies, additional stream gauging data will need to be collected. The attached budget request will provide funding for collecting this data for the remainder of 2000. Cl. Extra Help / Overtime: Since the adoption of the 2000 budget, additional Water Resources work has been identified, especially related to the WRIA 1 project. Much of this work is project oriented and short in duration. In addition, Water Resources staff (Watershed Program Specialist, ESA Coordinator, Watershed Planners) are required to attend meetings and work sessions outside of normal business hours. Many of these meetings are led by staff specialists where issues such as watershed planning and salmon recovery are addressed. The enclosed budget request will provide funding for the overtime and temporary help needed to accomplish this work. C2. WRIA Planning Unit Facilitation Services: Currently Rob Kelly and Mary Dumas provide facilitation services to the WRIA 1 Planning Unit under a contract signed in January 2000 for the period January 1 through May 31, 2000. This service is critical to the planning process and is supported by the Planning Unit. The need to develop consensus among the Planning Unit members is germane to the success of the WRIA I Planning process. - During the past six months, this service was responsible for shepherding the consensus needed to move forward with the Scope of Work and the technical assessment phase of this project. The enclosed supplemental request will provide funding for facilitation services to the Planning Unit through the remainder of the year. Pete Kremen/County Council April 24,2000 Page 3 C3. Data Gathering and GIS Needs: As the WRIA 1 sub -basin delineation, water rights analysis, and technical studies get underway, there is a need to gather existing data and develop GIS applications related to this work In addition, GIS work needs to be accomplished for the Lake Whatcom Management Program and salmon recovery efforts. The proposed budget will provide funding for professional services to accomplish this work in 2000. C4. Transfer of Resource Planner: Sue Blake is currently performing work full time within programs assigned to Water Resources Division. This ResourcesPlanner position is currently assigned to the Planning and Development Services Department budget. This supplemental item will transfer the associated financial responsibility from the General Fund to the Water Resource Fund. C5. Lake Whatcom Inspection: A temporary enforcement position for Whatcom County was supported through the adopted 2000 Lake Whatcom Program Plan. The position focused on education and enforcement of erosion and sedimentation control in the Lake Whatcom watershed between January and April 2000. At the County Council Work Session on April 11, 2000, the Council approved extension of the position until yearend, with the understanding that long -term funding options for the future will be explored. C6. Intradepartmental GIS Planning: Currently the County is in the process of developing a long -term direction for GIS. We need to identify long -term data/GIS needs within the County and provide strategic guidance during the 2001 budget process. The attached budget request will provide the necessary funds to develop and hopefully implement a portion of the County—wide GIS program.
