MEETING DATE: OCTOBER 15, 2013
TO: JEFFREY C. PARKER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PAMELA ARENDS -KING, FINANCE DIRECTOR /INTERIM CITY TREASURER
SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF AGREEMENT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC
SUBSTANCES CONTROL AND BUDGET APPROPRIATION
SUMMARY:
Approval by the City Council is requested to authorize the extension of the agreement with the
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) for the former MCAS Tustin project area (Tustin
Legacy) environmental remediation and approve a budget appropriation to fund the extended
agreement.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
a. Authorize the extension of the City's agreement with DTSC through December
2014.
b. Authorize a budget appropriation of $50,000 to fund the agreement's extension
from The Proceeds from Land Sale Fund 189.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact will be a decrease in fund balance for the Proceeds from Land Sale Fund of
$50,000; however, depending on the nature of DTSC's involvement certain expenditures may be
reimbursed by the City's environmental insurance policy.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
The recommendations correlate to the City's strategic plan by implementing Goal B, item number
three to protect the City's public assets.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently has an environmental policy covering City property at the Tustin Legacy through
December 2016. To facilitate existing and unknown environmental insurance claims the City
requires DTSC's coordination with completing these claims. As a result, the City is required to
reimburse DTSC staff for their time spent coordinating these claims. Depending on the nature of
DTSC's involvement certain expenditures may be reimbursed by the insurance company.
