136 THE PLAN // SYSTEM SCALE
Stormwater Collaboration with
Culver City Public Works
There are opportunities for PRCS and Public
Works to collaborate together on projects and
maximize funding to achieve multiple city goals.
As specified in the city’s SWQMP, the availability of
open space within park areas, as well as potential
for multi-benefits at these facilities, make parks
ideal locations for stormwater quality projects.
To help fund stormwater projects across the Los
Angeles County region, the Los Angeles County
Safe Clean Water Program Parcel Tax (Measure
W) was passed in the November 2018 election. As
described further in Section III, Public Works and
PRCS may collaborate together to utilize these
funds, as well as other grant opportunities, to fund
stormwater capture projects in parks space.
