Authorizing the appropriation of $74,200 from the unappropriated balance of the Storm Water Replacement Fund; authorizing the operating transfer of $74,200 to the Storm Water Operating Fund; authorizing the expenditure of $74,200 from the Storm Water Operating Fund for supporting Phase II of the Nutrients Sources and Amounts Assessment Plan; waiving competitive proposal requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.

This funding will provide the modeling that is necessary for the project.
