Subj ect: Recommendation to Provide Assistance to Santa Monica
Bay Restoration Project
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the city Council approve expenditure
of $30,000 to provide assistance to the Santa Monica Bay
Restoration Project.
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Monica along with several other cities that
adjoin the Bay and a number of environmental organizations have
joined together to manage and provide technical assistance in
studying the Santa Monica Bay. Some funding for the project has
been made available as a part of the National Estuary Program as
a part of legislation introduced by Congressman Levine.
Project staff has requested that the City of Santa Monica provide
assistance by hiring two interns and purchasing laboratory
equipment to be used in the study of bacteria and viruses which
may be present in the storm drains. The City of Los Angeles and
other agencies have agreed to contribute in kind laboratory
personnel services.
Any equipment purchased with these funds
will be returned to the City upon completion of the project.

This will certify that this staff report is i~ect. The

purchase equipment. The equipment would remain the property of
the 5MBRP.
The amount of funds to be granted is $25,700.
Finance Director, C.M. Dennis, is therefore authorized to issue a
