BY DEPUTY
M382 (10/88)
In December of 1985, Moraga Fire Protection District advanced
$20, 000. 00 in capital outlay. reserve funds to the Town of
Moraga to upgrade traffic signal lights in the Rheem area. This
arrangement allowed installation of Opticom traffic control
systems which are used by fire district vehicles for emergency
response. These funds were to be repaid by the Town from
traffic mitigation fees from future development in the Rheem
area of Moraga. Significant development has not occurred in the
Rheem area as expected, and as a result, traffic mitigation
revenues have been inadequate to finance repayment of funds
advanced by the fire district to the Town of Moraga. The
settlement agreement requires the Town of Moraga to immediately
begin a scheduled repayment of the $20, 000. 00 to the Moraga
Fire Protection District.
In May of 1992 the Town of Moraga completed a comprehensive
utility undergrounding project, a portion of which passed in
front of and provided benefit to Moraga Fire Station #41 and
Headquarters Building. The settlement agreement recognizes the
fire districts payment of $18, 750. 00 as its full share of the
costs of the undergrounding project and precludes the Town of
Moraga from levying a lien on fire district property for the
project.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Inability to insure prompt repayment of reserve funds to the
Moraga Fire Protection District by the Town of Moraga.
Possible lien on fire district property for additional utility
undegrounding project costs.
