Staff recommends that City Council: (1) adopt a Resolution approving a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU #2) between the Cities of Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach for Implementation of a Beach Cities Green Streets Project; and (2) approve dissolution of the prior MOU#1 for the Hermosa Greenbelt Project.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
If the new MOU is approved, Manhattan Beach will be responsible for $137,500, which is the City's share of the matching funds required for a $2,000,0000 Proposition 12 grant for preliminary engineering and final design of a variety of green streets pollution control measures to address storm water pollution. The City's share also includes an administrative fee for Torrance as the lead agency for the grant. Sufficient funds are available under the Joint Watershed Infiltration Project in the approved Capital Improvement Program. A construction award recommendation will come back to City Council once the actual costs are known following preliminary design and engineering.
If the dissolution of the prior MOU agreement is approved, the City will be reimbursed $21,240.90, which is the total amount previously deposited with Hermosa Beach in its capacity as Lead Agency for the Hermosa Greenbelt Project.
