WHEREAS, in April 2017, the City Manager submitted a letter of support to

Park; and

to the Ocean Foundation, and the "Pilot" Project was successfully completed in February
2018; and
WHEREAS, based on the success of the "Pilot" Project, the Conservancy
awarded additional funds in May 2018 and March 2019, to continue habitat restoration
efforts under the same program; and
WHEREAS, in order for the Ocean Foundation to continue receiving grant
funds to administer this program, both the Ocean Foundation and the City of National City
are required to execute a Public Interest Agreement with the Conservancy; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Agreement is to define the responsibilities
of the Ocean Foundation and ensure that if future funds are awarded for the program, the
City will not undertake any development projects that impact the wetlands habitat along
said portion of Paradise Creek; and
WHEREAS, National City's General Plan identifies this area as a park and
natural wetlands habitat; therefore, execution of the Agreement would be consistent with
General Plan goals and policies for this area.
