HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 04272010 - C.03RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to direct payment to
the Habitat Conservancy in the amount of $332,471. These fees will be used to mitigate for
impacts associated with the Vasco Road Safety Improvement Project. The Habitat
Conservancy uses collected fees to acquire and restore wildlife and plant habitat.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Vasco Road Safety Improvement Project will be funded by 100% American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act funds.
BACKGROUND:
The above reference project (Vasco Road Safety Improvements Project Phase 1) was
previously approved by the Board of Supervisors and awarded on March 23, 2010. As part
of the project, mitigation fees in the amount of $332,471.40 are to be paid to the Habitat
Conservancy. The HCP requires that a rural road development fee and wetland fee be paid
to the Conservancy for the total project footprint and wetland impacts as a mitigation
measure for the project. The fees will be used to purchase land or easements and enhance
habitat within core habitat areas under jurisdiction of the HCP.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

the project will not be adequately mitigated and the County will be in violation of all
regulatory approvals.
