Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) of the California State Parks Department has awarded the Sacramento Police Department (SPD) a grant award of $85,000 for the Fiscal Year 2024/25 Surrendered and Abandoned Vessel Exchange (SAVE) program. This grant program is designed to remove, reduce, and prevent the occurrence of abandoned watercraft in Sacramento’s waterways.
The grant is comprised of two programs: the Vessel Turn-In Program (VTIP) and the Abandoned Watercraft and Abatement Fund (AWAF). The VTIP component provides free alternatives to boat owners to surrender their vessels. The AWAF component addresses the need to remove and dispose of vessels determined to be abandoned.
File ID: 2025-00963 6/10/2025 Item 7.
The grant requires a 10% match contribution from local resources. Eligible sources of match include labor costs resulting from hours worked towards achieving the program’s objective of removing derelict and/or abandoned watercraft. In addition, as a condition of funding, the SPD must provide a City Council Resolution authorizing acceptance & execution of the grant award.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with the following requirements of City Council Resolution 2022-0198, Paragraph 11.1, which requires Council authorization to establish an operating grant that requires matching funds from City resources; and Paragraph 11.3, which requires Council authorization to establish an operating grant when such action is a condition of funding from the grantor.
Economic Impacts: None applicable.
Environmental Considerations: California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The proposed activity is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The activity is an organizational or administrative activity of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is not subject to the CEQA, per the CEQA Guidelines.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Accepting the grant award will enable the SPD to remove vessels and debris from City of Sacramento waterways that have been abandoned or otherwise surrendered by their owners, preventing future hazards to those to enjoy Sacramento’s waterway recreational areas.
Financial Considerations: The grant requires a 10% ($8,500) local match contribution. There are adequate resources within SPD’s general fund operating budget (Fund 1001) to meet this requirement. The labor costs resulting from hours worked by officers assigned to the Marine Unit will be used to fulfill the match requirement.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
