REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Approve Budget Modification No. 50 in the Amount of $149,971 for the Wolfe Road Recycled Water Pipeline Project
Report
BACKGROUND
On August 13, 2013, the City Council approved the Recycled Water Feasibility Study (RTC 13-181) outlining a strategy to expand recycled water for non-potable use. On September 24, 2013, the City Council approved a cost sharing agreement with Santa Clara Valley Water District (District) for design and engineering of the Wolfe Road Recycled Water project (Project) (RTC 13-226).

The City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Wolfe Road Recycled Water project on Sept. 24, 2013 (RTC 13-226).

Therefore, no further environmental is required. (CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15061(b)(3), 15162(c).)
