6.1.A. - Page 4 Manager for the duration of the MOU. The County will invoice on a quarterly basis each member of the Collaborative. The Memorandum of Understanding allocates costs to each jurisdiction in the watershed based on their stormwater flow contributions to the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel. The flow contributions are based on the above-mentioned study BKF Engineers completed on behalf of Stanford University (see Table 1). The Town of Woodside is not participating in the MOU at this time. The Town of Woodside's total flow contribution of 3.5% is distributed to the remaining members based on their respective flow contribution in the watershed. The MOU has a not -to -exceed cap of $1,000,000 for expenditures related to planning, design, permitting and right of way acquisition. The City' financial share as part of this MOU, if the expenditure cap is reached, will be $261,000. The MOU does not cover the construction or the expected operational costs associated with the BC/AC project, which may be covered under separate MOUs or may be included as subsequent amendments to this MOU. The MOU also does not obligate the Collaborative or any member agency to construct improvements for the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel. The Proposition 84 Integrated Regional Water Management Plan grant is intended for the construction of the BC/AC Project and so it will not be affected by this MOU, as the MOU does not cover construction of the project. However, as the grant has a time limit for completion of the BC/AC Project, a delay in executing the MOU, may delay the completion of the project. The Collaborative will also be evaluating and seeking additional grant opportunities and developing construction sharing agreements as appropriate for the project. As noted above, the Bayfront Canal Subcommittee had a concern that the MOU can be terminated, without cause, by any member of the Collaborative with 30 days written notice to all of the members of the Collaborative. If a member of the Collaborative terminates the MOU, they will be responsible for their share of the cost of work performed up to the effective date of the termination. However, after that 30 -day period, the remaining members of the Collaborative will stop work temporarily to address this change before continuing work. Unfortunately, other agencies did not agree to extend that 30 -day term. However, as currently proposed, the future MOU may be revised, and timelines can be extended, by approval of the agencies' city managers. If an agency does pull out of the MOU, the city managers of the remaining cities may amend the MOU to extend the overall timeline and/or continue work on the project. As the BC/AC Project will require physical work within other jurisdictions, permits and authorizations will be needed from the adjoining agencies in the watershed. Regional support and collaboration will also be beneficial in obtaining funding and coordinating construction of the project. Additional regional flood protection projects will likely be needed to comprehensively address flooding of the Bayfront Canal and Atherton Channel. These additional regional measures will be evaluated as part of the MOU,
