City of Colton Agenda Report Council Meeting of June 18, 2002 Page 2 demonstration of its commitment to the CSDP 3-5 Project, both last year, and again this year, the City Council has requested through its Congressional Representative that this project be funded with Federal funds making a significant contribution. Last summer we were informed that $400,000 would be allocated from the Federal STIP program in Federal Fiscal Year 2001/02 to the CSDP 3-5 project. The City of Colton is requesting through the attached Resolution that the neighboring jurisdictions of San Bernardino, Rialto, and the County of San Bernardino lend their support and political strength to the securing of the levels of Federal Funding necessary to construct CSDP 3-5 for the following reasons: ❑ The project is regional in nature with direct benefits for the cities of San Bernardino, Rialto, and Colton, and the County of San Bernardino and indirect benefits to those in San Bernardino County who are served by the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. ❑ The cities of San Bernardino, Rialto, and Colton, and the County of San Bernardino were identified in the drainage study conducted for the 3-5 tributary areas and should all bear some portion of the financial responsibility for the project's construction. Based on the above facts, the City of Colton believes that the jurisdictions of the City of San Bernardino, the City of Rialto, and the County of San Bernardino should approve similar resolutions memorializing their support of the City of Colton's efforts to secure alternative (mostly Federal) funding for the CSDP 3-5 project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. ALTERNATIVES: Do not approve the attached resolution and direct staff to continue to pursue alternative funding sources for CSDP 3-5 on our own. Take no action. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following: ❑ Approve the attached resolution. ❑ Direct the City Manager to set up a series of meetings with the policy makers and senior staff of neighboring jurisdictions to request that they adopt similar resolutions to memorialize their support of the City of Colton's efforts to secure Federal funding for the CSDP 3-5 project.
