Recommended Action: DETERMINE that there is a need to continue the emergency action taken by the Board of Supervisors on June 4, 1996, pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 22035 and 22050, to repair the "Hill 310" Land Creep, Bay Point. II. Financial Impact: Total cost of repairs cannot be fully determined at this time, but staff is developing an estimate for completion of the repair. 111. Reasons for Recommendations and Back- ground: A. On February 26, 1996, Public Works and Building Inspection were notified that cracks were occurring in Beaulieu Court. The County hired a geotechnical firm to identify the cause of the slide, and recommend and direct remedial actions to mitigate land movement. B. On March 19, 1996, the Board of Supervisors concurred in the County Administrator's proclamation of a local emergency. C. On June 4, 1996, the Board of Supervisors declared an emergency and authorized the Public Works Director to proceed in the most expeditious manner to repair the area subject to creep.

Repair status: California Cities Water Company is replacing damaged water main and services in the Beaulieu Place area. This is the beginning of a process that should allow the removal of the temporary water main by mid-April. The estimate of completion for the drainage gallery contract is changed to May. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: This project is part of a series of sequential construction projects that will stabilize the landslide and restore the streets and sidewalks of the affected neighborhood. A negative action would stop this process. �.43 TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR DATE: APRIL 15, 1997 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE INITIATION OF AN ANNUAL ASSESSMENT PROCEEDING IN THE RODEO COMMUNITY FOR LANDSCAPE ASSESSMENTS PURSUANT TO PROPOSITION 218, RODEO AREA (WO 5523) Specific Request(s)or Recommendation(s)&Background&Justification I Recommended Action: A. RESCIND the March 4, 1997 Board action which authorized a special tax election, approved the ballot measure and directed the County Clerk (Election Division) to conduct the special tax election in Rodeo to determine if the residents want to continue the current assessments for park and landscaping maintenance; B. AUTHORIZE a mail-in ballot and related required actions to determine if the voting majority of property owners want to approve continuance of current assessments for park landscaping and maintenance (Countywide Land scape District AD 1973-2, LL-2, Zone 38) Rodeo area and DIRECT the Public Works Director to prepare the engineer's reports and the allocation of special assessments as required under Proposition 218. C. After completion of the report, DIRECT the Public Works Director to prepare and send Proposition 218 hearing notices to all property owners notifying them of a hearing at least forty-five (45) days after the report's completion and mailing of the notices before the Board of Supervisors. Property owner votes may be received at time of the hearing and before it is concluded. II. Financial Impact: The County currently collects an annual assessment of $81 ,600 for park landscaping and maintenance in Rodeo. Under Proposition 218, these assessments must be approved by the voters through a special tax election or an assessment mail-in property owner ballot procedure. Without voter or property owner approval, the County will have to cease Ilecting the assessments, thus reducing the revenue for the Special District services t e Co y provides to its residents. r.

April 15, 1997 Page 2 III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: At their regular meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 1997, County Staff met with the County Service Area R-10 Citizens Advisory Committee to review the impacts of Proposition 218. Staff described the various options available to the community for continuing the landscape assessments. Briefly, the options discussed were either a special election requiring a 2/9 majority approval or a mail-in ballot procedure requiring a simple weighted majority of the property owner ballots returned. The Committee voted to request the special election procedure on February 18, 1997. The Board of Supervisors subsequently approved a special tax election on March 4, 1997. On March 18, 1997 the Citizens Advisory Committee for County Service Area R-10 voted unanimously to request a mail-in Proposition 218 property owner ballot procedure instead of a special election previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 4, 1997. The Advisory Committee had previously felt that a special walk-in election would be preferable over a mail-in ballot. After further deliberation and discussion with County Staff, the Committee reconsidered their position on the matter and now feels that a mail-in ballot is more suitable for the Rodeo community. It should be noted that all of the other communities in the County (Oakley, Clyde and Bay Point) are using a mail- in ballot to determine if the community wants to continue with the landscaping assessment. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: This change is requested by the Citizens Advisory Committee for County Service Area R-10. A no vote will direct staff to continue the preparation for a special tax election in June 1997.

FISCAL IMPACT No direct impact as a result of this action. The proposed bill would substantially impair the County's use of the redevelopment tool to facilitate reinvestment in its unincorporated communities. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AB 923 is a bill that calls for the dissolution of California's redevelopment agencies by repealing California Redevelopment Law and requiring a city or county with a redevelopment agency to dissolve the redevelopment agency by January 1, 1998. The State Controller's Office would supervise the process and manage any loose ends. This bill represents a hatchet approach to concerns regarding the operation and implementation of the redevelopment function. Redevelopment represents the primary source of revenue for local government to address local investment requirements for community infrastructure, affordable housing, and economic development. To the extent concerns exist the Legislature has, in the past, approached reforms on a surgical basis to cure the patient, not kill it. The approach embodied in AB 923 is unnecessary.
