Item to be presented by: Damon Letz
DATE: October 24, 2006
SUBJECT: DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC
WORKS FOR THE TRANSFER AND CONVEYANCE OF STORM
DRAIN IMPROVEMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY COUNCIL
TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution to delegate authority to the Director of Public Works for transfer
and conveyance of storm drain improvements to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
BACKGROUND
Currently, all storm drain transfers must go before the City Council for approval. Approximately
10 to 15 storm drains are transferred per year to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District
(LACFCD).
On August 23, 2004, Senate Bill No. 1677 amended Section 13-3/4 of the Los Angeles County
Flood Control Act. The bill authorizes the governing body of a public agency "the City or
County," by a resolution, to assign a designee to carry out functions relating to the transfer and
conveyance of the storm drain improvements or systems to LACFCD.
This resolution would allow the transfer process to occur at staff level and reduce the number of
items brought before the City Council.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
Adopted:71 P�(,o-)o I
FISCAL IMPACT
The City incurs long-term benefits by transferring responsibilities for storm drain maintenance
and repairs to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
