Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Adopt a resolution authorizing the Executive Director of the Public Works Agency to submit applications for funding consideration under the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program through the Orange County Transportation Authority. DISCUSSION The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has issued a call for projects under the Measure M2 Environmental Cleanup Program (ECP). The ECP grants are for Fiscal Year 13/14 for the Tier 1 Grant Program. The Tier 1 Grant Program provides $200,000 per project up to a maximum of $500,000 per funding cycle. The total amount of Measure M2 ECP funding is $19.5 million, which is being made available over multiple years to help protect Orange County beaches and waterways from transportation- generated pollution (urban runoff), and improve overall water quality. The City will submit three grant applications under this resolution totaling grant request of $500,000. The City will utilize existing Federal Clean Water Protection Enterprise funds to provide the required minimum local match of 25 percent. Including the City's match requirement, the total funding package is $625,000, to cover design, construction, and maintenance. Staff is requesting authorization to submit applications for three ECP projects which are listed in Table 1. The ECP projects are not capital improvement projects; rather, they are programs such as developing and implementing Best Management Practices for pollution control. These programs provide no improvement to infrastructure. Given the importance of protecting our waterways from transportation-generated pollution, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing submittal of these project applications for funding consideration.
