Flood control: County of Santa Barbara: Lower Mission Creek.

Existing law provides for state cooperation with the federal government in the construction of specified flood control projects, and prescribes requirements to be met prior to state authorization of flood management projects that receive state financial aid. This bill would authorize the state to provide subvention funds, as prescribed, to the County of Santa Barbara, or to local agencies in that county, for a flood control project on the Lower Mission Creek, as described, at an estimated cost to the state of the sum that may be appropriated for state cooperation by the Legislature upon the recommendation and advice of the department and upon a determination by the department that the project meets those financial aid requirements. The bill would provide that the state assumes no liability for damages that may result from the project by authorizing the provision of subvention funds, or by the appropriation of those subvention funds, as specified.
