Resolution No. 9832
Resolution of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Adopting the 2013
San Francisco Bay Area Integrated Regional Water Management
Plan
A.The State electorate approved multiple statewide bond measures since 2000,
including Propositions 50, 84, and 1, to fund water and natural resource projects and
programs, including Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM).
B.The benefits of integrated planning for water resources management
activities include increased efficiency or effectiveness, enhanced collaboration across
agencies and stakeholders, and improved responsiveness to regional needs and priorities.
C.State statute and guidelines require that an IRWM Plan be adopted by the
governing boards of participating agencies before IRWM grant funds would be provided for
water resources management projects that are part of the IRWM Plan.
D.More recent state statutes and guidelines require that the Bay Area IRWM
Plan be updated before agencies may receive future IRWM grant funding.
E.The Bay Area IRWM Plan, most recent updated in September 2013, provides
an implementation framework for tracking accomplishments, developing lists of prioritized
projects and periodically updating the Bay Area IRWM Plan as conditions warrant, providing
funding and resources are available to carry out these activities.
F.Adoption of the Bay Area IRWM Plan does not entail a direct commitment of
resources and implementation of each project, as such will be the responsibility of the
project proponent and any applicable project partners, and there is no joint commitment or
responsibility by the Bay Area IRWM Plan participants to implement any or all of the
projects.
G.T
individual plans and programs and does not supersede such plans and programs, and
planning efforts separate from the IRWM Plan.
The Council of the City of Palo Alto does RESOLVE as follows:
SECTION 1. The Council hereby adopts the 2013 Bay Area Integrated Regional Water
Management Plan, attached as Exhibit A.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6BD6F161-CCC7-405E-ABE1-A753CAB6C8D9
6055199
SECTION 2. T adoption of this resolution does not meet the definition of
a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), under to Public Resources
Code Section 21065, so environmental review is not required. Environmental review of future
projects developed as part of the Plan will be completed, as needed, prior to implementation.
