Acting as the Board of Directors, Flood Control and Water Conservation District:
a) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Statement of Final Quantities for work performed and materials supplied for the Santa Monica Debris Basin Restoration Project - Phase 1 by the contractor Summer Construction, Inc. (a tri-county vendor), in the amount of $1,125,963.00;
b) For the purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determine that:
i) These actions are within the scope of the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the Updated Routine Maintenance Program [State Clearinghouse No. 2001031043] and 2017 PEIR Addendum which adequately describes this activity for the purposes of CEQA; and
ii) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15168(c)(2) and 15162(a), after considering the PEIR certified by the Board of Directors in November 2001, and subsequent annual addendums, that no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration is required because: i) no substantial changes are proposed which require major revisions of the PEIR; ii) no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which require major revisions of the PEIR; and iii) no new information of substantial importance concerning the project’s significant effects or mitigation measures, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the PEIR was certified, has been received.
