CC RESOLUTION 4829 RESOLUTION NO. 4829
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE,
TO PARTICIPATE IN A REGIONAL GRANT APPLICATION FOR A
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION
GRANT.
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
The City Council finds and declares as follows: The City of El Segundo is committed to
conserving and protecting its coastal resources from future impacts from seal-level rise
and related climate change impacts such as extreme weather events. Sea level rise in
Southern California is expected to match global projections over the next century, with
an increase of five to nine inches between 2000 and 2050, and fifteen to thirty inches
between 2000 and 2100. Such changes in sea level will likely affect West Coast storms
more powerfully because sea level rise will exacerbate impacts from wave run-up and
storm surge, causing more erosion and more extensive and frequent flooding.
SECTION 1: The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to participate in a $330,000
regrional grant application to the California Coastal Commission, the California Ocean
Protection Council and the Coastal Conservancy, with the City of Santa Monica as the
lead agency, to perform a regional assessment and mapping of the Los Angeles County
coastline, and to provide training and outreach on climate science, sea level rise,
vulnerability assessments and methods, adaptation strategies, and modeling and tools.
SECTION 2: The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to execute any required
documents to receive the grant for the purposes identified herein.
SECTION 3: The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to accept and spend the
grant monies identified in this Resolution for the purposes set forth herein.
SECTION 4: There is no match requirement for this grant. Therefore, the City Council
does not need to amend or supplement the City's Budget for fiscal year 2013/14 to
appropriate the monies to pay for the retention plan proposed by the City in support of
its grant application. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to implement the
purpose of this section.
SECTION 5: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 16th day of July, 2013.
