WHEREAS, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 13 (the "Safe Drinking

Non -Point Source Control Program, and
WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board has issued Requests for Proposals for
a portion of those funds; and
WHEREAS, an area of the City known as Buck Gully in Corona del Mar contains habitat
worthy of protection and may contain water that does not meet state standards for indicator
bacteria; and

the Gully that will replace non -native plants with native ones and that may slow down
bacterially - impaired water so that sunlight can kill most or all of the bacteria; and

the Coastal Non -Point Source Control Program; now, therefore be it
