Common use of LOCUS Clause in Contracts

LOCUS. This Agreement is deemed to be entered into in the County of Placer STATE OF CALIFORNIA SIERRA NEVADA CONSERVANCY‌ This project will utilize SNC Proposition 68 Vibrant Recreation and Tourism directed grant funds to support the Eastern Sierra Sustainable Recreation Partnership (ESSRP), a collaboration of local governments and federal land managers, and will establish a coordinated and sustainable recreation and tourism program across a tri-county region. During the life of this grant, the program will complete a project prioritization and implementation plan; provide technical support for partners implementing on-the-ground projects; work towards the development of resilient recreation-based economies in communities in the eastern Sierra; and focus engagement on underserved communities in southern California. This project is a mix of long-term program development and planning for specific on-the-ground projects. The applicant, Town of Mammoth Lakes, will oversee the project on behalf of, and in coordination with, its regional Eastern Sierra partners. The project will convene and facilitate regional recreation stakeholder engagement through regular meetings to identify collaborative support for efficient project prioritization and implementation. The project will also develop an Eastern Sierra climate change vulnerability assessment and adaptation strategy related to the region’s recreation and tourism economy that will help inform future investment in sustainable recreation and tourism projects. In addition, through the established collaborative, the project will develop a focused regional identity and media products to tell the story of sustainable recreation and tourism in the Eastern Sierra to its broad visitor audience. Finally, the project will also provide much needed capacity to partners through technical assistance for project planning and development, as well as identification and pursuit of appropriate funding opportunities. This project is a mix of multiple priorities of Proposition 68 and SNC’s Strategic Plan. It aims to establish sustainable recreation economies on a regional level; increase community access to recreational resources; serve disadvantaged communities; and identify and plan multiple on-the-ground recreation infrastructure projects. This project takes a broader approach by addressing sustainable recreation and tourism programs on a regional scale instead of through one defined activity. Its impact will be much greater, more efficient and strategic, and will have the greatest potential for maximizing long-term public benefits. It is intended to serve as a replicable model for initiatives in other defined geographic regions in the State of California.
