Approval of Amendment No. 1: It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman Buchheim, and unanimously carried to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Project Committee No. 17 agreement to delete the City of San Clemente as a participating member in Project Committee No. 17. The Mayor and City Clerk were authorized to execute Amendment No. 1 on behalf of the City. AMENDMENT NO. 2 TERMINATION OF PROJECT COMMITTEE NO. 17 Written Communications: Report dated November 5, 1985, from the Director of Public Works, advising that the -Board of Directors of SERRA had voted to terminate Project Committee No. 17, the Ocean Waiver Discharge Application. The SERRA staff was directed to forward to the State the request to withdraw the application; to close out the project by finalizing the budget; and, to prepare the necessary legal documents to terminate the Project Committee. The report advised that each member agency had deposited $30,000 for the project and each agency had earned $2,064.85 in interest. The City's proportionate share of expenses was $35,286.57; therefore, the final amount owed by the City was $3,221.71. An adjustment to Account No. 07-4480-284 was necessary to accommodate the increase in the original budget. Approval of Amendment No. 2/Budget Adiustment: It was moved by Councilman Hausdorfer, seconded by Councilman Bland, and unanimously carried to approve Amendment No. 2 to the Project Committee No. 17 agreement to terminate the project and to authorize the adjustment of $3,221.71 to account No. 07-4480-284 to finalize budget expenditures.

Murphy, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 to Terminate Project Committee No. 17 (SERRA) SITUATION At their meeting of the SERRA, the Board of Directors voted to terminate Project Committee No. 17, the Ocean Waiver Discharge Application. The participating members of the Project Committee at that time were the City of San Juan Capistrano, the MNWD and the SMWD. Included in this action of termination was direction to SERRA staff to: request the withdrawal of the application to the State, to close out the project by finalizing the budget, and to prepare the necessary legal documents to terminate the committee. The attached amendment to the original Project Committee No. 17 agreement once adopted will conclude the project and memorialize the action to terminate the pursuit of the ocean waiver application. COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW, RECOMMENDATION The SERRA Board of Directors have reviewed and approved this amendment. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The costs associated with this project have been borne equally by the participating member agencies. The deposits received for this project were $30,000.00 per agency or $120,000.00. Expenses incurred were $136,324.05, of which the City's propor- tionate share is $35,286.57. Interest earned by each agency was $2,064.85, offsetting the final monies owed by San Juan Capistrano to be $3,221.71. Because this is an increase in the original budget, an adjustment to this account #07-4480-284 within the Sewer Enterprise Fund is necessitated. ALTERNATE ACTIONS 1. Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Project Committee No. 17 agreement and authorize the adjustment of $3,221.71 to account #07-4480-284 to finalize budget expenditures. 2. Do not approve the amendment to the Project Committee No. 17 agreement. 9 0 SERRA November 5, 1985 Page 2 3. Refer to staff for additional information.
