RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE, THE AMENDED
AND RESTATED REGIONAL WASTEWATER DISPOSAL AGREEMENT, AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A MODIFIED AGREEMENT
SHOULD THE CITY ATTORNEY DETERMINE THAT THE ANTICIPATED
REQUESTS FOR MODIFICATIONS ARE NON -SUBSTANTIVE AND
DO NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WHEREAS, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES")
permit for the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant (the "Plant"), submitted in 2015, included
a goal of offloading 83 million gallons a day of wastewater and turning it into potable drinking
water by 2035. This project is titled "Pure Water San Diego" or "Pure Water Program"; and
WHEREAS, the Point Loma offloading, as planned, will bring the solids
discharged from the plant down to a level that would be equivalent to that of converting the plant
to secondary treatment; and
WHEREAS, wording for federal legislation to protect the Plant from having to
convert to the secondary treatment level has been agreed to by local stakeholders, including
environmental groups, but has not yet been approved at the federal level; and
WHEREAS, the 1998 Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement (the "1998
Agreement") between the City of San Diego and the participating public agencies, which
included the City of National City, governs the planning, capacity rights, and cost allocation of
wastewater facilities in the Metropolitan Wastewater System; and
WHEREAS, the 1998 Agreement did not contemplate the complexities of the
Pure Water Program and needs to be amended to adequately address the proposed facilities,
allocation of costs, and long-term financial protection of wastewater rate payers; and
WHEREAS, the City of San Diego and the participating agencies have been
working since 2014 on deal points for the Pure Water Program, and those deal points have
been incorporated into an Amended and Restated Wastewater Disposal Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby approves, and authorizes the Mayor to execute, the Amended and
Restated Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby authorizes the City
Manager to execute a modified Agreement should the City Attorney determine that the
anticipated requests for modifications are non -substantive and do not adversely affect the City
of National City.
