“Regional” Projects for Round 1
North Bay Approach
Next Steps
“CC has approved organizing the Bay Area into four sub‐regions to facilitate local project prioritization, stakeholder involvement and improved project integration.”
2011 Plan Update Work plan

21. 2009 -North Bay Process designed for grant submittal
Include Solano
Lead for Sub- region-NBWA
NBWA Watershed Council will advise
Propose 3 steps
1) Meeting of all counties to review Guidance
2) Integrated County meetings to include all stakeholders
3) All counties in one meeting to review input

22. 1) One meeting of all counties to review guidance
*-purpose -to explain the guidance developed by the Bay Area Project Screening Subcommittee and answer questions. This guidance should include the modified ranking system, state preferences (i.e. Drought, Disadvantaged Communities), State grant requirements (match , timing), target allocations, schedule and milestones, identified regional projects,, costs for application, and any other pertinent information for that round of funding.
* NBWA will develop a target allocation for each county based on the formula used for sub-regions (1/2- based on 4 counties, ¼ on population and ¼ on area). If appropriate projects or programs for the entire north-bay will be identified. All interested stakeholders will be invited to participate.

23. 2) Integrated County meetings including all stakeholders
*Each County will hold a meeting organized by county lead
- to identify “best” projects to propose for funding consistent with the guidance and with an emphasis on “integrated” projects.
*Stakeholders will be sent s and asked to provide project information in a format consistent with the guidance. If new or modified projects (more integrated) are identified they will be ranked using the guidance provided. If a county does not have a project that meets all the requirements for a particular grant cycle then NBWA will adjust targets and that county’s allocation will be carried over for future grant cycles.
*If determined necessary joint-county meetings will be held for Marin/Sonoma and Napa/Solano to develop multi-county proposals.

24. 3)
*All counties in one meeting to review input
*Projects will be reviewed to develop regional or sub-regional proposals and address any concerns with proposed projects.
* The final list of projects will be submitted to Bay Area Project Screening Subcommittee for review.

25. North Bay Approach Plan Update
County Leads
* Liz Lewis, Marin County (Chris Choo)
*Rick Thomasser, Napa County
*Dave Okita, Solano County Water Agency
(Chris Lee)
* Brad Sherwood, Sonoma County Water Agency

26. Next Steps North Bay Process for Plan Update
1) Meeting of all county leads Nov
-develop guidance
- update stakeholder lists
2) County meetings early 2012
-develop preliminary list of projects
- emphasis on integrated projects
3) Meeting of all county leads
- to review input Spring 2012
