RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPLY FOR STATEREVOLVING FUND
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF SUCH
AGREEMENT, AND ANY OTHER ACTION REQUIRED, FOR PURPOSES OF THE
DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND GRANT
THE CITY COUNCIL
City of Morro Bay, California
WHEREAS, on September 13, 2022, the City of Morro Bay (the "City") City Council
authorized the City Manager to execute a Cost Share Agreement with Rancho Colina Mutual
Water Company (Rancho Colina) to fund the preparation of Drinking Water State Revolving
Fund Planning Grant application for the Rancho Colina Consolidation Evaluation Project; and
WHEREAS, if awarded, then the Planning Grants will provide the funding necessary to
complete the water utility consolidation feasibility evaluation, design of Rancho Colina water
connections and necessary upgrades to City water infrastructure (via OneWater projects) and
application for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Construction Grant; and
WHEREAS, Rancho Colina is located on Highway 41, approximately a 1/2 mile east of the
existing City jurisdictional limits and provides water, wastewater, and other services for
approximately 69 Mobile Homes and 57 Recreational Vehicle (RV) camping sites; and
WHEREAS, Rancho Colina’s groundwater wells have elevated concentrations of Nitrates
and have nearly run dry during recent droughts, forcing Rancho Colina to truck in water from other
wells in the Morro Basin; and
WHEREAS, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has contacted the City
regarding the potential for Rancho Colina to connect to the City’s water utilities. Due to the fact
Rancho Colina provides water services to the Rancho Colina Mobile home community, which is
classified as a Disadvantaged Community, there is significant grant funding available in the
DWSRF (up to $6M) programs to pay for infrastructure upgrades to the City’s water systems to
accommodate increased demand from Rancho Colina in addition to connections to Rancho
Colina; and
WHEREAS, connecting Rancho Colina to the City’s water system may allow the City to
access DWSRF funding to reduce the costs to the City’s rate payers for funding other necessary
City Projects; and
WHEREAS, this authorizing resolution makes minor updates to the previous Authorizing
Resolution 52-23, adopted on the 8th day of August 2023.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MORRO BAY, AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Manager (the "Authorized Representative") or designee is
hereby authorized and directed to sign and file, for and on behalf of the City, a Financial
