Ci a Approval
Item to be presented by:
Jeff Kolin, QC>f
NEW BUSINESS
DATE: January 10,1994
SUBJECT: BUDGET TRANSFER FOR EIR CONSULTANTS
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
During the 1994-95 Budget Process $336,000 was budgeted to fight the proposed siting
of a landfill in Elsmere Canyon. In addition $500,000 was programmed into an Elsmere
Contingency Fund to start building a financial foundation to support the future costs
associated with probable litigation.
Recently, staff was informed that the Draft Elsmere Environmental Impact Report
(DEIR) and Draft Environmental Impact (DEIS) should be released for public comment
some time January 1995. Under City Council direction, staff has prepared and is
implementing a plan whereby consultants would be utilized to scrutinize the EIR/EIS
when if was released.. This included approving separate contracts for an active public
affairs campaign and the technical consultants. Accordingly, staff has entered into
contracts so technical and public affairs activities will be launched in time to coincide
with the scheduled release of the DEIR/DEIS. To this end, staff is requesting that
$288,000 be transferred from the City's Contingency Fund to a solid waste operational
account to pay for the above activities. Also, a portion of these funds ($53,205) will pay
for a FY 93-94 Hussy and Associates billing received after the close of FY 1993-94
ledgers.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council appropriate $288,000 to account 01-6600-230 from the City's
Contingency Fund 014101-290 to pay for technical political, legal and public affairs
consultants.
