Rousselle Street Flood Protection and Warner Avenue Flood Protection Project Funding Proposals January 18, 2022 Page 2 not only help reduce flooding, but will also improve water quality in the Newport Bay watershed. The 2018 Storm Drain Master Plan identified improvements to the Rousselle Street stormdrain as one of the "top recommended improvement projects." The Rousselle Street Flood Protection Project is currently in the conceptual design phase. Staff will be requesting funding from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) for design and construction of this project. Design of the Warner Avenue Flood Protection Project is complete, so staff will only be requesting funding from DWR for construction of this project. The Warner Avenue Flood Protection Project is part of the Warner Avenue Widening Phase 11 Project (No. 18-6901). The funding requested from DWR will fund the storm d rai n-related items of the overall project. Staff is requesting that the City Council adopt a resolution allowing the submission of proposals for the Rouselle Street and Warner Avenue Flood Protection Projects, and authorize the Executive Director of Public Works to execute any resultant funding agreements and amendments (Exhibit 1). This resolution is a required component of successful grant applications for the Proposition 68 FMPRA Grant Program. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Staff will return to the City Council with a request for approval of further actions and will indicate the fiscal impact of any such awards and associated expenditures at that time. EXHIBIT(S) 1.
