the project is selected, Tustin's matching cost will total $34,857 which will be funded by Measure

DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
As a component of the Measure M project (M2), OCTA has established and is overseeing an
environmental cleanup grant program dedicated to protecting Orange County beaches and
waterways from the conveyance of urban runoff associated with transportation generated pollution.
The M2 Environmental Cleanup Program ensures that funds will be used on a countywide,
competitive basis to assist cities in meeting goals for controlling transportation generated pollution
as required by the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Approximately $2.8 million is available in the first fiscal year (FY 11/12) to be awarded with this
grant "Call for Projects". The maximum grant amount is $100,000 per project. Staff has prepared
an application under this "Call for Projects" for the maximum amount that would be used to
purchase additional catch basin inserts and automatic retractable catch basin screens.
Resolution No. 11-37 states that the City Council supports the application, the City is capable of
providing the required funding match, and that the City agrees to work with OCTA to meet
established deadlines if the grant funds are awarded, and designates the Director of Public Works
Measure M2 Tier 1 Project Application to OCTA

as the City's authorized representative. The Renewed Measure M funding eligibility requires City
Council approval of applications for funding under this program. The application for this project
was submitted to the OCTA by its deadline of April 18, 2011. Adopting the resolution serves to
complete the initial OCTA administrative process for receipt of the applications.
