RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2011-225 delegating authority to the City Manager or his/her
designee to sign cost-share agreements with other Dischargers in amounts of $100,000 or
less that are related to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) regulations, and any orders issued by water quality regulatory
agencies.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Under the federal Clean Water Act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements, different public agencies (known as
Dischargers) are required to work collaboratively to address water quality issues through
development and implementation of urban runoff management programs. The costs of goods
and services related to NPDES/TMDL requirements are shared among the Dischargers through
cost-share agreements. Some examples of cost-share agreements include the Carlsbad
Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program (WURMP) cost-share agreement (example
attached), regional Copermittee cost-share agreement, and TMDL Discharger cost-share
agreements.
Signature authority for cost-share agreements is not addressed in Carlsbad Municipal Code
3.28 (Purchasing). The existing municipal code gives the City Manager or his/her designee
authority to approve contracts for goods and services in amounts of $100,000 or less.
Delegating signature authority to the City Manager or his/her designee for cost-share
agreements in amounts of $100,000 or less creates consistency in the city's policies regarding
payments for goods and services.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.
