19. Region Acceptance Process • Required under Prop 84 • 2009 Process • Important Themes for Bay Area - Consensus Approach - Developing sub-regions - Ability to rank projects - Developing “Regional” projects

20. RegionAcceptanceProcess

21. DWR decisions in September 2009 RAP Summary  46 Regions submitted  Approved – 34 Regions  Conditional Approval – 11  Not Approved – 1 Region Final-all approved-10 conditionally 3 address entire funding area

22. Regional Acceptance Process • IRWM Regions • 36 Approved Regions • 10 Conditionally Approved Regions

23. Sub-regions were created to • foster outreach, • coordination, • project solicitation, and • project integration

24. Bay Area Sub Regions

26. Decision-Subareas and Funding *Target Allocations (After Regional project allocation)- ½-No. of sub regions, ¼ pop. ¼ area -N bay- 25% -E bay-29 % -S bay-25% -W bay-22%

27. Project Prioritization • 2006 plan used “cohorts” -Evaluated but did not rank projects -Evaluation can be converted to a score and ranking
