The State of California State Water Resources Control Board (the “Board”) has a funding program entitled “Clean Water State Revolving Fund,” (“CWSRF”) and pursuant to this program, the Board makes funds available for various capital wastewater- and recycled water-related projects. B. The City of Palo Alto (the “City”) owns and operates the Regional Water Quality Control Plant (the “Plant”) and engages in various capital improvement projects to improve and maintain the Plant. C. The City wishes to apply for CWSRF funds to cover the cost of the Advanced Water Purification System Project (“Project”), which was identified as part of a mitigation measure in the City of Palo Alto Recycled Water Project Environmental Impact Report, certified in 2015, and Addendum dated September 13, 2019. D. The Project will be implemented in multiple phases in order to gradually increase recycled water production capacity. The City is currently seeking CWSRF funding for Phase 1 of the project. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows: SECTION 1. The Council hereby finds that it is in the City and the public’s interest in the health, safety and welfare of the community to file Financial Assistance Application(s) with the Board to seek funds made available under the State Revolving Fund for the Project. SECTION 2. The Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager or his designee, the Director of Public Works or the Manager of the Plant, to: (a) File and sign, for and on behalf of the City of Palo Alto, a Financial Assistance Application for a financing agreement from the Board for the planning, design, and construction of the Project. (b) Provide the assurances, certifications, and commitments required for the DocuSign Envelope ID: 5588245C-FEB9-4A46-97C5-1696E6898877 2 financial assistance application, including executing a financial assistance agreement from the Board and any amendments or changes thereto. (c) Represent the City in carrying out the City’s responsibilities under the financing agreement, including certifying disbursement requests on behalf of the City and compliance with applicable state and federal laws. SECTION 3. The Council finds that the filing of a Financial Assistance Application with the State Water Resources Control Board does not constitute a project requiring California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. This action does not meet the definition of a project under Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because it is an administrative governmental activity which will not cause a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The Council further finds that the potential environmental effects of implementation of the Project has been disclosed and analyzed in accordance with CEQA in the Addendum to the 2015 Palo Alto Recycled Water Project Environmental Impact Report.
