Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the amendment to Joint Funding Agreement No. 2, for hydrologic investigation and data collection, between Cochise County and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to add $12,914 to the USGS match, with no additional match required from the County.
Background:
Joint Funding Agreement No. 2 (JFA2) between the USGS and Cochise County allows for both to provide a match for hydrologic investigations and data collection, and also for the USGS to perform the investigations and data collection. This is for well (depth to groundwater), streamflow and recharge project (infiltration information) data in the Upper San Pedro watershed. JFA2 is an annual agreement between USGS and Cochise County Board of Supervisors. It runs from October 1 through September 30 each year. The increase of $12,914 for this fiscal year is a one-time increase on the part of USGS because of available year end funds. There is no additional increase required of County. County's contribution annually is $58,700.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
An additional $12,914 will be available from the USGS for hydrologic investigation, namely replacement of equipment used in monitoring wells, streams and recharge projects in the Upper San Pedro Basin.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
the additional available $12,914 from USGS will not be available to use to assist with needed equipment replacement for data collection.
