A. Resolution No. 2017- (page A-1)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City, with its partnering cities of Palos Verdes Estates (PVE) and Rolling Hills
Estates (RHE), applied for a Proposition 84 Grant from the State Water Resources
Control Board (State Board) for the Catch Basin Insert Project (Project) on January 14,
2016. The Project proposed to install 1,368 connector pipe screen (CPS) units in
existing catch basins draining into Santa Monica Bay, to implement the requirements for
the 2012 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The CPS units
capture debris and trash and prevent both from ending up in the bay.
On December 19, 2016, the City received a notice of award from the State Board for the
Project. The total project cost is projected at $1,012,163. The grant award is $600,000
with a combined local match of $412,163.' Since 818 of the 1,368 catch basins (59.8°/x)
are located in the City, the City is responsible for $246,473 of the combined local match.
The grant request was for $708,514 with an anticipated combined local match of $303,649.

This amount is accounted for in the upcoming FY17-18 budget. The cities of PVE and
RHE are responsible for the remaining $165,690. This project will help the City meet
some of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements by
addressing the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) of marine debris under Section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Both PVE and RHE have written letters agreeing to their
participation with the City, and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is being
prepared by the City Attorney for the adoption of all three cities.
On April 13, 2017, the City received documents required by the State Board before the
grant can be fully executed. Among the requirements is a signed Agency Resolution
authorizing a City representative as signature authority. Staff recommends the Director
of Public Works be the grant's signature authority to sign and file a Financial Assistance
Application for an assistance agreement from the State Board for the planning, design,
and construction of the Catch Basin Insert Project. Additionally, the authorizing
resolution will allow the Director of Public Works to be the signature authority for any
grant payment requests, status reports, and project amendments.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council's consideration:
Decline the recommendation to accept this grant. However, that would
result in foregoing nearly $360,000 in grant funds to implement this
project.
