RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize an annual amount not to exceed $300,000 pursuant to the
Newport Bay Watershed Cooperative Agreement with the County of Orange.
DISCUSSION
On June 16, 2003 the City Council approved a five year cost sharing
agreement with the County of Orange for the Newport Bay Watershed studies.
The agreement was estimated to cost a maximum of $200,000 for the first
two years. In addition it provided a long term funding strategy for
implementing the recommendations of the studies.
Based on new budget projections, Santa Ana's share of the costs for the next
three years is estimated at $300,000 annually. The additional costs are due
to a recent order from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board to
regulate nitrogen and selenium discharges into the Upper Newport Bay. The
County of Orange is the lead agency on the studies and will be the main
interface with the Board on the issues.
