A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A GRANT
AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S STATE WATER RESOURCES
CONTROL BOARD FOR THE MONTANA DRY-WET WEATHER RUNOFF
DIVERSION PROJECT
WHEREAS, Santa Monica Bay is a treasured local, state and national resource
that was nominated and accepted by Congress for inclusion in the Clean Water Act's
National Estuary Program in 1988; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Monica has many drainage basins that drain urban
runoff into the Santa Monica Bay, carrying with this flow many pollutants of concern that
have negative impacts on our natural resources; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has allocated considerable funding for grants
(Proposition 13, March 2000) to local agencies for urban runoff pollution control from
designated sites for enhancement, restoration and protection of estuarine and coastal
resources, and wildlife habitat; and
WHEREAS, such grants provide badly needed funding to carry out activities,
such as best management practices in storm drain systems to reduce urban runoff
pollution, vital to protecting and restoring the health of Santa Monica Bay and its natural

resources,
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
