The well serving <br /> CSPOA is contaminated with uranium and does not meet Title 22 drinking water standards. The <br /> CSPOA cannot afford to purchase a water treatment system; therefore, the State Department of <br /> Public Health (DPH) together with CSPOA has requested that water system improvements be <br /> constructed and service be provided by the City. <br /> <br /> A resolution was adopted by the City on July 18, 2011 to accept a Proposition 84 grant to finance <br /> construction costs for the public water system improvements (Exhibit 1). On August 16, 2011, <br /> the City received a letter of commitment from DPH stating that Proposition 84 funds have been <br /> reserved for this project and authorizing the City to begin construction of the water system <br /> improvements (Exhibit 2). The project was advertised for bids and a construction contract was <br /> awarded by City Council on November 28, 2011. The project is under construction. <br /> <br /> City staff is proceeding with securing the required funding agreement from DPH. As a condition <br /> for final approval of this agreement, the City must adopt a resolution selecting a legally <br /> authorized representative to execute the following actions: <br /> <br /> 1. Sign the funding agreement. <br /> 2. Approve claims for reimbursement. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 55B-1 <br />
