Approve amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Yolo Habitat Conservancy for the provision of administrative services.

The Yolo Habitat Conservancy (Conservancy) is a joint powers agency comprised of the County of Yolo and the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland. In FY20-21, the Conservancy and the County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the County to provide administrative services to the Conservancy, which continued through FY22-23. 

Staff recommends the Board extend the term of the MOU with the County for administrative services through June 30, 2024, and amend to allow Department of Community Services staff (in addition to CAO staff) to provide such services. Pursuant to Section 5 of the Memorandum of Understanding, the County's lead assigned staff conferred with the Chair of the Conservancy's Board of Directors about this proposed amendment. In FY23-24, it is estimated that the Conservancy would reimburse the County $235,000 for services, including administration, legal, fiscal, accounting, and IT. This amendment was approved by the Conservancy Board of Directors on May 15, 2023.
