RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No 17-15 approving the submittal of the
project application to the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for funding under the
Renewed Measure M Environmental Cleanup Allocation Program, Tier 1 Grant Program 2017 Call
for Projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total project cost is estimated at $211,946. The OCTA Measure M2 Grant would provide
$169,546 to be used to purchase and install 108 BioClean round curb inlet filters for catch basin
inlets to prevent trash and other debris from entering the storm drain system. The City's match is
required by the program and if approved, sufficient funds in the amount of $42,400 will be
budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
As a component of the Measure M2 Program, 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, also known as Project X under the Comprehensive
Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP), 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. OCTA
has established a two tiered approach to fund Environmental Cleanup Program Projects. The Tier
1 Grant Program funds small scale local water quality projects. The Tier 2 Grant Program has
been established to fund large scale regional water quality projects.
Approximately $3.1 million was made available during the 2017 Tier 1 Grant Program Call for
Projects. Staff has prepared an application under this Call for Projects for Programming in Fiscal
Year 2017/2018 to fund the citywide installation of catch basin BMPs (CIP No. 50036) for a total
estimated project cost of $220,000. The project includes the purchase and installation of 108 Bio
Measure M2 Tier 1 Project Application to OCTA

requirement to prevent trash from entering the storm drain system.
The Renewed Measure M funding eligibility requires City Council approval of applications for
funding under this program. Resolution No. 17-15 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/City Engineer as the City's authorized representative. The application for
this project will be submitted to the OCTA by its deadline of May 17, 2017. As part of the
application process, OCTA requires that City Councils adopt their respective resolutions by July 31,
2017. Adoption of the resolution serves to complete the initial OCTA administrative process for
submittal of the applications.
