STAFF ANALYSIS. The federally approved California Coastal Management Program (CCMP) comprises three distinct state agencies: the Commission, BCDC, and SCC. The CZMA requires that one single state agency be the primary recipient of all federal CZMA funds awarded to the CCMP. The Coastal Act designates the Commission to serve this purpose. Therefore, any federal CZMA funds for other state agencies must be received by the Commission, included in the Commission’s budget, and passed through to the other CCMP agencies by means of an interagency agreement. The arrangement to pass through funds has been used since 1978 when the United States Department of Commerce approved the CCMP. For Fiscal Year 2015-2016, which starts July 1, 2015, the State of California will receive $2,516,000 in CZMA funds. The funds will be distributed as follows: BCDC will receive $294,600, SCC will receive $300,000 and the Coastal Commission will retain the remaining $1,921,400 (see table below). The grant funds will be awarded pursuant to two sections of the CZMA: Sections 306 and 309. The SCC has not received CZMA funds for some time but requested to be included in the grant application for this fiscal year. The executive directors of the three state agencies mutually agreed upon the distribution of federal funds as outlined in the table below. The SCC is not eligible to receive section 309 funds at this time since they do not have an approved 309 Assessment and Strategy in place.

The Commission uses Section 306 funding to support core program activities, including staff work on permits, appeals, LCPs, federal consistency review, and enforcement. BCDC uses Section 306 funding to support its work associated with permitting, federal consistency and enforcement activities. The SCC will use the 306 funding to support three projects that address sea-level rise, coastal resiliency and flood plain management. The state is required to match all Section 306 funds provided by the federal government. State general fund revenues that support Commission staff salary and benefits costs are used for the match. The state match for BCDC and SCC is included in their FY 2015-2016 budgets; therefore, the Commission will not incur any additional expense to provide BCDC and SCC’s portions of the state match. Section 309 - $520,000 (Commission/$390,000 and BCDC/$130,000) In 1990, the CZMA was reauthorized and amended to add a new “Coastal Zone Enhancements Grants” program established under CZMA Section 309. The purpose of the Section 309 grant funding is to provide California with the opportunity to enhance its coastal management program in any of the nine priority objective areas identified in the CZMA (wetlands, coastal hazards, public access, marine debris, cumulative and secondary impacts, special area management planning, ocean resources, energy and government facility siting and aquaculture). In 2010, the Coastal Commission updated its Section 309 Assessment and Strategy for 2011 – 2015 (a requirement of the grant) which identifies the Commission’s five highest priority coastal zone enhancement area objectives that will be the focus of the Commission’s Section 309 work. These areas are: special area management planning (also considered LCP planning), cumulative and secondary impacts, public access, wetlands, and coastal hazards. BCDC updated their own 309 Assessment and Strategy in 2010 and it provides the basis for their 309 activities. For the FY 2015-2016 grant, the Coastal Commission will use the Section 309 Enhancement Grant funds ($390,000) for: • Outreach and Education for CCC SLR Guidance. This task will allow for staff to conduct outreach and training for the Coastal Commission, staff and local governments on implementing the final SLR Policy Guidance. The task will also include coordinating with our Federal and State partners to ensure effective and efficient implementation of the SLR Policy Guidance in light of other ongoing efforts related to SLR issues. Outreach and training will include meetings or workshops with local governments, at least one public workshop with the Coastal Commission, and training materials that will be available on the Commission’s website.

Outreach Staff will also identify a pilot project area and define the initial scope of work to launch Year 2 of Strategy 1 implementation. • Training Framework for LCP Planning and Implementation. In this first year of Strategy 2, Training for LCP Planning and Implementation, staff will develop the overall program design, framework and a schedule for developing the content of a training program for new coastal analysts at the Coastal Commission and planners at the local government level. The training is envisioned to be an on-line guidance and training will include meetings or workshops with local governments, at least one public workshop with the Coastal Commission, and training materials program that will provide key policy and planning information to Commission staff as well as be available on to planners at local jurisdictions, to strengthen their knowledge of the Commission’s website.coastal program and assist in planning efforts for developing new LCPs or comprehensive LCP updates.
