M. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The conditions of approval for the Discovery Bay West Project(Subdivision 8570)
require the developer,Hofmann Land Development Co.,to construct a levee system,
to provide a plan for perpetual maintenance of the system, and to identify a
maintenance entity, such as a homeowners association, acceptable to the Public
Works Department. Regulations of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
("FEMA") require that a governmental agency have ultimate responsibility for
maintenance of a levee system in flood hazard areas. The Discovery Bay Community
Services District ("CSD") qualifies as a governmental agency to assume ultimate
responsibility for perpetual maintenance of the Discovery Bay West levee system. In
March 2003, the CSD obtained voter approval to exercise its latent powers to
construct, maintain and operate flood protection works and facilities. In order to
exercise these powers,the CSD must also obtain the consent of the County's Board
of Supervisors pursuant to Government Code Section 61600(q)(2). The CSD has
requested that the Board of Supervisors give such consent. The Public Works
Department has reviewed that request and recommends that the Board give the
requested consent. The CSD's maintenance of the levee system will not conflict with
the authority of other public agencies, in that the levee system is not within the
jurisdiction of Reclamation District No. 800 or the Contra Costa County Flood
Control and Water Conservation District.
NOW,THEREFORE,IT IS RESOLVED that upon LAFCO's approval,the Discovery Bay
Services District is APPROVED to provide flood protection services.
