STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE Excellence in Government Operations BACKGROUND In June 2019 the City Council adopted the Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan intended to reduce pollution in stormwater flowing to the San Francisco Bay. As part of the GI Plan, the City identified the Regional Stormwater Capture Project and Red Morton Park (Regional Project). This project is a major component of the Plan and would capture and treat a large amount of stormwater from the hillside areas of the City, including portions of Woodside and Unincorporated San Mateo County. In October 2019 C/CAG issued a call for letters of interest for Regional Stormwater Capture Projects to use a $3 million State budget allocation for advancing planning and design of multi -functional stormwater facilities. The City submitted for the Regional Project, as did the Cities of Belmont and San Bruno. Each city received $913,333. Although C/CAG was the agency securing the funds, each of the cities agreed to work directly with the Natural Resources Agency to obtain and use the funds. The proposed resolution and an eventual agreement allows the City to obtain the funds from the Natural Resources Agency for the Regional Project.
