Gentlemen:
Last year the City of Santa Ana's first priority funding request to the
City Engineers Flood Control Advisory Committee received a favorable recom-
mendation and an allocation of $80,000 for the construction of West Washington
Storm Drain was included in the flood control districtls adopted budget for
fiscal 1971-72. Subsequently, we have been working with your staff to implement
the request. However, there appear to be certain economies and increased bene-
fits to the general public if a more comprehensive project is pursued jointly
as described ~elow.
In the districtls review of the hydrology of the area of East Garden Grove
and West Santa Ana it was discovered that the two cities in their separate master
plans had proposed separate storm drains based on city limits rather than topo-
graphic drainage areas. Comparing cost estimates, we have found that a Joint
solution would save approximately $100,000 in lieu of separate storm drains.
In a meeting with district and the respective cities~ staffs a more compre-
hensive project application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) has been proposed. Total project cost would approximate $700,000. After
consideration of drainage areas tributary and areas benefitting from the project
it has been determined that equity would be achieved if each city participates ·
equally in the combined drainage system, and the district contributes an amount
equalling the sum of the two cities.
.THis new project was considered at the last (October 21st) City Engineers
Flood Control Advisory Cormmittee meeting recognizing that the processing of a HUD
application would in any event extend the project into fiscal 1972,73. The follow-
ing recommendations resulted:
-2 -
NOV - 9 lg71
1. Request a HUD grant of 50% federal funds
$350,000
2e
Flood control district contribute 25% (requir-
ir~ an allocation of $95,000 of 1972-73 funds
to augment the 1971-72 allocation of $80,000)
175,000
3. City of Santa Aha contribute 12%%
- 87,500
City of Garden Grove contribute 12%7.
87,500
$700,000
You may wish to discuss the above in more detail with your director of public
works. If you concur, a resolution of intent to participate should be obtained
from your City Council and we will recommend the same for approval by the Board
of Supervisors. After approval in principle by each of the parties, application
to HUD for a grant can be submitted with optimism for a high rating by HUD because
of the socio-economic characteristics of the are~ of benefit and the cooperative
aspects of the solution proposed%'
If favorably received by HUD, a'single Joint powers.agreement between the two
cities and the district will be drafted for your further consideration anticipating
construction as early as possible in fiscal 1972-73.
Very truly yours,
