Beyond 2000:
Clean, Safe Creeks and
Natural Flood Protection
The water district's hood protection and stream stewardship programs emphasize working with
rivers and floods rather than against them. Our programs help reduce property damage, reduce
disruption to business and ensure that people can travel to jobs and schools during even the
wettest winters. we also improve water quality, create healthy ecosystems, ensure cost-effective
investments of taxpayer dollars and preserve the quality of life in the Santa Clara Valley.
As with any public service, the cost of the water district's efforts is bonne by the community, lun&
are collected from a variety of sources. including local pmperty taxes and benefit assessments.
We have also worked diligently to maximize other funding sources. In the past 20 years more than
$200 million in federal and state funding has been allotted to projects in our county —funds that
would not have become available without a local share. The benefit assessments sunset in June
2000, per the voter -approved ballot mt cures which authorised their collection in 1986 and 1990.
In anticipation of this June 2000 benefit assessment expiration, we carefully analyzed all possible
replacement funding sources, budget cuts and strategic fund commitments. We also invited
public participation in developing future programs and identifying funding source, We met with
polJcymakers and community and business leaders throughout the valley and conducted public
surveys and workshops.
The result is a proposal for a comprehensive flood protection and stream stewardship program
that reflects community Input --funded by several sources. The full program will emphasize a
balanced approach based on sound environmental principles, stress careful fiscal management
and strive to provide benefits in every community.
However. there is a revenue shortfall of 39 percent of the total funds needed to provide this pro-
gram —nearly $25 rnallon annually, The $25 million revenue shortfall equates to approximately
$39 per household per year. This revenue shonfall could be recouped through fees and special
charges, or by asking county voters to approve a special parcel tax,
We will continue to work with our partners in the community to successfully implement the
Beyond 2000 Flood Protection and Stream StereartLsblp program. Together, we can preserve
the valley's quality of life.
