Statement of Issue: The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has frozen the
Phase 1 Talbert Lake Diversion grant due to State cash flow issues. However, the project is

financial assistance agreement.

Quality Grants, 89288005.82500. The grant application is for $5,134,000 to complete the
project.

Adopt Resolution No. 2009-25 a Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach Authorizing Entering into a Financial Assistance Agreement with the State
of California Water Resources Control Board.
Alternative Action(s):
Deny approval of the resolution. This action will result in the forfeiture of the grant funds for
the Talbert Lake Diversion Project, Phase I.
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 5/18/2009 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 09-020
Analysis:
In December 2008, the State Water Resources Control Board was directed by the State
Department of Finance to suspend payment on all grant funded projects. After passage of
the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), federal funds were made available to
the State through the State Revolving Fund (SRF) program to fund eligible projects. On April
6, 2009, the City was informed that the Natural Treatment System - East Garden Grove
Wintersburg Channel Urban Runoff Diversion Project into Talbert Lake was selected to
receive ARRA funds.
The State Division of Financial Assistance is following ARRA guidance to distribute money
equitably and in a process that is transparent to the public. The eligible projects list was
based on survey responses and other available information on project readiness, threat to
public health or the environment if the project was not completed, and the number of jobs
that will be created or saved.
Before the project funding was frozen, the consultant for the project, Pacific Advanced Civil
Engineering (PACE), had submitted 75% complete design plans and cost estimates for City's
review. Based on increased construction costs since project inception and final construction
details, the City is requesting $5,134,000 in ARRA funds to complete the design and
construct the project. If the funding amount is approved, the project should begin
construction in January 2010 and be completed in approximately one year.
Public Works Commission Action: Not required.
Strategic Plan Goal:
1-1 Improve the City's plan for funding and completing infrastructure needs, and develop
strategies for resolving crucial infrastructure problems to preserve the physical foundation of
the community and enable the community's value to grow.
Environmental Status: Not required for this action.
