DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Sheriff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution to accept and adopt the Solano County 2017 Flood Safety Plans consisting of Emergency Response Plans and Maps for the levee maintaining agencies in the legal Delta.

Over the last two years, Solano County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services (OES) and consultant Kjeldsen, Sinnock and Neudeck, Inc. (KSN), have worked with the LMAs in the legal Delta to complete the Flood Safety Plans as a collaborative effort. The final deliverable outlined in the grant agreement with the California Department of Water Resources is the approval and adoption of the plans by the Solano County Board of Supervisors. The proposed plans are available for review in electronic format (Attachment B) and a hardcopy is on file with the Clerk of the Board.
