SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Lake Nacimiento Resort lies within the County of San Luis Obispo. The County of Monterey Public Works Facilities and Parks (County) has a need to engage the County of San Luis Obispo (SLO) to provide services for regulatory compliance. The Environmental Health Services Division of the County of San Luis Obispo’s Public Health Department has been administering the cross-connection control program for the County-owned Lake Nacimiento (Nacimiento). SLO services for regulatory compliance shall include, but not be limited to, conduct a survey and thorough inspection of all water uses for cross-connections; prepare and maintain written survey reports, water user notices, correction notices and follow-up reports, as well as enforcement measures. During a recent administrative review, SLO could not find an executed agreement with the County to provide this service.
Staff requests the Board of Supervisors approve and authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer or Contracts/Purchasing Supervisor to execute the proposed non-standard Cross Connection Agreement with SLO (Attachment A) and execute up to three future amendments to the Agreement.
