AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Payments to State Water Resources Control
Board for PCE Clean -Up Oversight and Appropriating Funds ($32,000)
MEETING DATE: April 6,2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving payments to the
State Water Resources Control Board for PCE clean-up oversight
and appropriating funds ($32,000).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Order on
the Central Plume requires that their costs for oversight of the
clean-up be paid by the responsible parties. The City has taken the
lead in this Plume and settlements with other parties will reimburse
the City for much of these costs. One aspect of the settlements is creation of a separate fund for this
Plume. This fund will consist of money received from Central Plume parties and a contribution of
$2.2 million from the City (to be taken from the $9 million settlement with our insurer). The Finance
Department is in the process of setting up this fund.
The City also intends to charge technical services from this fiscal year (not legal expenses) directly
related to the Central Plume to this Central Plume fund. Funds for these costs have already been
appropriated in the Water and Wastewater Funds, and the authorization will be transferred to this fund.
This will leave the Water and Wastewater funds in a better position to cover legal expenses.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Board has billed the City $7,939.39 for the Octoberthru
December 2004 quarterly billing period. The City has already paid
$7,530.56 for the prior quarter. The recommended appropriation should
cover oversight costs for this fiscal year.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: C ral Plume Cleanup Fund
