The Reimbursement Agreement will help defray the costs of professional planning services associated with the environmental documentation for the Rainbow Disposal Company transfer station upgrades. Funding Source: Pending City Council approval of this reimbursement agreement, Rainbow Disposal Company will pay to the City $66,137 for the anticipated costs of preparing the requisite environmental documentation. This constitutes revenue not anticipated in the adoption of the original budget and will be used to fund the contract. Recommended Action: Motion to: 1. "Approve the Reimbursement Agreement with Rainbow Disposal Company, Inc., as prepared by the City Attorney, between the City and Rainbow Disposal Company, Inc. 2. "Authorize the Director of Finance to Appropriate funds in the amount of Sixty-six thousand one hundred thirty seven dollars ($66,137) to account 10060201.69365 for Planning Services related to preparation of environmental documentation for the Rainbow Transfer Station upgrades." REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 2/20/2007 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PL07-05 Alternative Action(s): Continue the motion and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: Applicant: Rainbow Disposal Company, 17121 Nichols Street, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 Location: 17121 Nichols Street (Between Slater Avenue and Warner Avenue) The applicant filed a Conditional Use Permit and Environmental Assessment for a project to enclose a majority of the activities that currently take place at its facility. The project includes the demolition of some existing structures and construction of new recycling (30,500 sf) and transfer buildings (169,700 sf). These new buildings and operations would enable Rainbow to increase the tonnage of waste processed and target additional wastestreams for recycling such as construction and demolition debris and commercial waste, and to do so while improving environmental conditions around the plant as compared to current operations. The Planning Department has hired Jones & Stokes Associates to prepare the environmental documentation. Jones & Stokes was selected in accordance with the Municipal Code and Administrative Regulations pertaining to professional services agreements. The cost of the contract is $66,137. As the amount of the contract does not exceed $100,000, the City Administrator's signature was sufficient to execute the agreement. These costs will be reimbursed by Rainbow Disposal Company as a result of this reimbursement agreement. There have been many reimbursement agreements requested by staff and the development community for environmental documentation. This is an acceptable method to give developers greater assurance of timely entitlement processing and a greater level of detailed environmental evaluation. Staff recommends the City Council approve the reimbursement agreement. Environmental Status: Projects over which public agencies exercise ministerial authority, such as this agreement contracting for preparation of environmental documentation, are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15300.1.
