CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACTING CITY
MANAGER TO SIGN AND FILE A FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION
FOR AN ASSISTANCE AGREEMENT FROM THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
AUGUST 23, 2016
PAGE 2
The Prop 1 Storm Water Planning Grant solicitation opened in January 2016 and
closed on March 18, 2016. The State Water Resources Control Board Division of
Financial Assistance received 45 applications, of which 28 were recommended
for funding.
The City of Arroyo Grande was awarded a grant in the amount of $189,140 for
the “Stormwater Resource Plan for Five Cities Area.” The plan relies on
cooperation between the City of Arroyo Grande, Coastal San Luis Resource
Conservation District (CSLRCD), Zone 3 SLO County Flood Control District
(Zone 3), Oceano Community Services District, City of Grover Beach, City of
Pismo Beach, and the San Luis Obispo County Integrated Regional Water
Management Plan (IRWMP) group.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The project aims to meet three objectives:
1. Leverage the IRWMP, Arroyo Grande Creek Watershed MOU working
group, and existing studies to address the watershed’s most pressing
issues through the lens of stormwater and multi-benefit activities;
2. Develop a methodology and decision-making framework to prioritize
programs, project types and projects at multiple scales based on
quantifiable results; and
3. Engage partners, disadvantaged or economically distressed communities,
non-profits, and other stakeholders to ensure that the plan prioritizes
management options for the maximum benefit to the watershed as a
whole, in a manner consistent with the needs and desires of the
stakeholders.
The project is proposed to start in the third quarter of 2016 and complete during
the fourth quarter of 2018. The City of Arroyo Grande will act as the applicant
and project manager, while the CSLRCD will act as the lead consultant and
support partners in the day to day plan development.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to sign and file a
Financial Assistance Application for an assistance agreement from the
State Water Resources Control Board;
2. Do not adopt a Resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to sign and
file a Financial Assistance Application for an assistance agreement from
the State Water Resources Control Board; or
3. Provide direction to staff.
