Report Title: Agreement among Contra Costa County, Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District, and Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery, related to annual "Bethel Island Community Clean-up" events
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the District 3 Supervisor to execute, on behalf of the County, an agreement among the County, the Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID), and Mt Diablo Resource Recovery, effective August 6, 2024, to jointly host a Bethel Island community cleanup day on September 14, 2024, and annually thereafter until the agreement is terminated, Bethel Island area, as recommended by the Bethel Island Municipal Advisory Council and the District 3 Supervisor.
DETERMINE that this activity is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15311, and, alternatively section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the temporary placement debris boxes and use of the property may have a significant effect on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The agreement includes a mutual indemnification clause. The County will indemnify BIMID to the extent any liabilities arise from the County’s negligence or willful misconduct. MDRR will indemnify BIMID and the County to the extent that any liabilities arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, MDRR will release the County and BIMID from any loss of or damage to its debris boxes, vehicles, and equipment left on BIMID property in connection with an event.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Bethel Island Community Cleanup events would not be held if BIMID property, and an alternative location would need to be identified for use, potentially at a higher cost.
