BRADY, CITY MANAGER DATE: MAY 24, 2011 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, REQUESTING A GRANT FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FLOATING RESTROOMS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS AT LAKE ELSINORE. Background In January 2011, Mary SantaCruz, Lake, Parks & Recreation Office Assistant, corresponded with the California Department of Boating & Waterways (DBAW) concerning a grant to maintain the floating restrooms on the Lake. The City recently received notification from DBAW authorizing an $8,000 grant to the City of Lake Elsinore for operations and maintenance of the floating restrooms. Discussion The City placed two floating restrooms on Lake Elsinore in 2002 and have been maintaining from 2002 to present. The grant shall not exceed 75% of the allowable project costs; therefore, the City is required to pay at least 25% of the cost to operate and maintain the floating restrooms. Considering the City already pays 100% of the cost for O&M, the grant will offset the majority of the cost, with savings realized by the City. The grant requires the posting of signs on the floating restrooms recognizing the grant funds from the Federal Clean Vessel Act. Staff estimates the cost of purchasing and mounting the signs at about $200. Fiscal Impact Acceptance of the grant is anticipated to save the City approximately $7,800 through March 2013. Recommendation Approve the attached resolution accepting the grant and authorize the City Manager to execute the grant agreement.
