a. A-2 The Technical Advisory Committee of the Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program ( STOPPP) prepared a new San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Management Plan for the period of July 2004 through June 2009 and compiled other information needed to reapply for NPDES permit re- issuance (Note: the full text of the Stormwater Management Plan is on file in the City Clerk's Office and can be viewed online at the Countywide STOPPP website: www.flowstobay.oro). The San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Management Plan 2004 -2009 represents mainly a continuation of the stormwater pollution prevention and control activities and costs that are currently being implemented. The seven -paged Executive Summary of the Stormwater Management Plan is attached. Page ES -5 of the Executive Summary contains an explanation of the changes in the new plan, which are different from the previous Stormwater Management Plan. The City Council must hold a public hearing on the Stormwater Management Plan and adopt a resolution that authorizes three actions, as described below: 1. The City Council agrees to reapply to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board for reissuance of the municipal stormwater NPDES permit to discharge water from the municipally owned storm drain system, and 2. The City Council accepts, adopts, and commits to implement the San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Management Plan 2004 -2009 and requests that the San Mateo Countywide Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program's ( STOPPP) NPDES Coordinator submit this plan to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board as part of the re- application for NPDES permit reissuance, and 3. The City Council directs the City Clerk to forward a copy of this Resolution to the City /County Association of Governments' Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program NPDES Coordinator. Alternative The City must comply with the regulations and statutes governing municipal stormwater pollution prevention and water quality standards as established by federal and State law. There is no practical alternative to meet this mandate. This approach assures a cost effective and efficient way of pooling municipal resources countywide to meet the federal and state unfunded mandate. Fiscal Impact The cost of implementing the Countywide Stormwater Management Plan and Program for FY 2003 -2004 is $1.2 million. The program costs are shared among the 20 cities and the County. The two -year program budget for FY 2003 -04 & FY 2004 -05 (Appendix A of the Stormwater Management Plan) anticipates expenditures of $1.2 million for each program year.
