WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California has established the State Coastal

has authorized the Conservancy to award grants to public agencies and nonprofit organizations
to implement the provisions of Division 21; and

with Division 21 of the Public Resources Code and with the Conservancy’s Strategic Plan and
that best achieve the Conservancy’s statutory objectives, in light of limited funding; and
WHEREAS, at its September 22, 2022 meeting, the Conservancy adopted a resolution
authorizing a grant of up to $700,000 to the City of San Rafael (“grantee”) for the Canal Community
Resilience Planning Project (“the project”). The resolution was adopted by the Conservancy
pursuant to and is included in the Conservancy September 22, 2022 staff recommendation, a copy
of which is on file with the grantee and with the Conservancy; and
WHEREAS, the Conservancy requires that the governing body of the grantee certify through
a resolution that it approves the award of Conservancy grant funding and authorizes the execution

Conservancy grant agreement number 22-057; and
WHEREAS, the Marin Community Foundation has also decided to award an additional
$62,000 to support this same project.

hereby:
1. Accepts the award of grant funding from the Conservancy and Marin Community
Foundation for the project.
