Dear Mayor au
I received your recent letter regarding the City's concerns about the proposed
i' r
improvements to the East Garden Grove Wintersburg flood -control channel. It appears
that the
County and the City are in one accord on several issues you raise.
, As the Bolsa Chica Steering Committee's work moves forward, the County will continue
to communicate with the committee regarding the channel and its discharge. As you know, the
County's current plans call for the channel to empty into the wetlands, and we will continue to
advocate for that position with the committee.
I agree with your emphasis on flood protection for Huntington Beach residents. As the
improvement of the channel commences, the areas that normally over -top in a storm first will be
improved first. As such, the issue of discharge location will not need to be finalized for another
two or three years. That will give all parties involved time to come to an equitable agreement.
I appreciate your concern about Huntington Harbour. Since taking office nearly three years
ago, I have always made sure that the interests of the Harbour were addressed. I will continue to
work to ensure that water quality there is improved rather than worsened as a result of the channel
improvements, and that safe boating remains a priority in Huntington Harbour.
Thank you for the City's active involvement in these issues. I am confident that everyone
concerned can work together to �roduce an effective flood control project for the residents of
Huntington Beach.
Sincerely,
James W. Silva
Supervisor, Second District

Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments::
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The Orange County Environmental Management Agency has requested City Council
approval for construction of improvements to the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel
at the San Diegore Feway.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the attached resolution approving the construction by the County of Orange.
ANALYSIS:
Existing, drainage culverts of the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel, under the San
Diego Freeway, are not adequate to convey 100—year discharges. The County of Orange
has prepared construction plans which show culvert improvements within a small portion
of the city. The improvements will improve drainage within the city of Westminster, and
will have no impact on. drainage withinin the city of Huntington Beach. Approval of this
project by the City of Huntington Beach is required under provisions of the Orange County
Flood Control Act.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Construction and funding will be by the County of Orange.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Deny the request.
