Rousselle Street Flood Protection and Warner Avenue Flood Protection Project Funding <br />Proposals <br />January 18, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />6 <br />9 <br />not only help reduce flooding, but will also improve water quality in the Newport Bay <br />watershed. <br />The 2018 Storm Drain Master Plan identified improvements to the Rousselle Street <br />stormdrain as one of the “top recommended improvement projects.” The Rousselle Street <br />Flood Protection Project is currently in the conceptual design phase. Staff will be <br />requesting funding from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) for design and <br />construction of this project. <br />Design of the Warner Avenue Flood Protection Project is complete, so staff will only be <br />requesting funding from DWR for construction of this project. The Warner Avenue Flood <br />Protection Project is part of the Warner Avenue Widening Phase II Project (No. 18-6901). <br />The funding requested from DWR will fund the stormdrain-related items of the overall <br />project. <br />Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt a resolution allowing the submission of <br />proposals for the Rouselle Street and Warner Avenue Flood Protection Projects, and <br />authorize the Executive Director of Public Works to execute any resultant funding <br />agreements and amendments (Exhibit 1). This resolution is a required component of <br />successful grant applications for the Proposition 68 FMPRA Grant Program. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Staff will return to the City Council <br />with a request for approval of further actions and will indicate the fiscal impact of any such <br />awards and associated expenditures at that time. <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
