improvements. The
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Rodeo Sanitary District (RSD) would be responsible for preparing preliminary
engineering plans and a budget for sanitary sewer improvements that would be included
in the larger program. The recommended action will provide the Rodeo Sanitary District
with the necessary funds to accomplish the preliminary engineering studies related to the
sanitary sewer improvement design. The Public Facilities Design Funding Agreement
(the "Design Funding Agreement") provides $50,000 for the following tasks:
Existing Information Review:
Proposed Marina Layout
Topography
RSD Infrastructure
Annexation of Marina:
LAFCO requirements
Other Agency Requirements
Number and Type of Connections
RSD Fee Requirements
Sewage Conveyance:
Evaluation of options (gravity flow vs. pumped)
Costs for Options
Cost/Benefit Analysis of Options
Recommendation
Pursuant to California Redevelopment Law, the Agency may fund public improvements
owned by another public agency with the consent of the Board of Supervisors, and if the
Board of Supervisors finds and determines that : (1) the public improvement will be of
benefit to the project area, (2) no other reasonable means of financing the public
improvement is available to the community, (3) the public improvement will assist in the
elimination of one or more blighting conditions inside the project area; and (4) Agency
assistance for the public improvement is consistent with the Agency’s current
Implementation Plan. (Section 33445 of the Health & Safety Code).
The Design Funding Agreement will help the RSD pay for the cost of the study of
necessary sanitary sewer public improvements for the Rodeo Marina. The Design
Funding Agreement will allow the RSD to accomplish the preliminary engineering
studies related to the sanitary sewer improvement design. The necessary public
improvements will benefit the Project Area by helping to spur the redevelopment of a site
that is an integral part of the Project Area’s waterfront. The public improvements may
lead to the renovation and expansion of the Rodeo Marina, thereby stimulating and
expanding the existing uses in the waterfront.
The RSD has conducted an analysis of its financial capability to fund the Design Funding
Agreement and due to limited availability of general funds, the State’s budget crisis, and
the RSD’s funding priorities, the RSD does not currently have sufficient funds to pay for
the costs of the preliminary engineering studies related to the sanitary sewer
improvement design. On December 8, 2009, the District’s Board of Directors met and
approved a resolution making the required finding that the District has no other
reasonable means of funding the public improvements.
The study and future construction of sanitary sewer improvements in the Rodeo Marina
will lead to the renovation and expansion of the Rodeo Marina Facilities to accommodate
multiple uses, which may include: a restaurant, marine repair facility, boat docks, boat
storage, boat launch, a new harbor master building, lodging, mixed use commercial, and
public access. Restoration of the Rodeo Marina would stimulate redevelopment activities
in the waterfront area by expanding the existing uses, thus eliminating blighting
conditions in the Project Area.
The funding of the Design Funding Agreement is consistent with the goals and objectives
of the Agency’s current Implementation Plan, including the desire to create and
implement a Downtown/Waterfront Improvement Program for the older and more
historic section of the Project Area, and to initiate development planning processes for
specific reuse sites in the Project Area.
Therefore the recommendation includes two actions:
1. As the Governing Board of the Redevelopment Agency, making certain findings
pursuant to Section 33445 of the Health and Safety Code, and approving and authorizing
execution of the Design Funding Agreement. and
2. As the legislative body for the County the Board of Supervisors, consenting to the use
of Redevelopment funds to pay for studies related to the sanitary sewer improvement
design i of the Rodeo Sanitary District, and making the required findings pursuant to
Section 33445. In making these findings the Board is, in part, relying on findings made
by the Rodeo Sanitary District at its meeting of December 8, 2009 (A separate Board
order is being submitted for this action)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not authorized, the proposed scope of work will not be able to be
accomplished.
