Purpose:

To inform City Council of the status of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) regarding sewer system improvements proposed by the City of Los Angeles.

Background:

On November 15, 2005, Public Works presented information to the City Council regarding a sewer tunnel proposed by the City of Los Angeles that may be located in the Rancho District. This sewer tunnel, known as the Glendale-Burbank Interceptor Sewer (GBIS), is a part of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), which was released on November 30, 2005.  

ANALYSIS:

Public Works will report to the City Council on the status of the DEIR and explain how the public can provide input during the DEIR comment process.  At a later date, Public Works will create a draft comment letter on the proposed DEIR and present it to the City Council. This presentation is tentatively scheduled for January 17, 2006.

RECOMMENDATION:

Direct staff to continue providing input to the City of Los Angeles regarding any wastewater and storm water improvements that would impact the City of Burbank.
