SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Flood Control and Water Conservation District, to reimburse
developers for drainage improvements in Drainage Areas 10, 13, and 16, Danville, Alamo, and
Pleasant Hill areas. (Drainage Area 10, 13, and 16 Funds) (Districts III and IV)

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
Drainage Areas 10, 13, and 16 are the only Drainage Areas that receive ad-valorem tax revenues in addition to
drainage area fees. Both funding sources provide funds to construct drainage area facilities and can be made
available to reimburse developers who install drainage area improvements over and beyond their proportional share
of costs. The current reimbursement policy allows developers to be reimbursed with drainage area fees.Since these
three drainage areas are essentially built out,there are few drainage fees being collected. On the other hand,there
are adequate ad-valorem tax revenue balances to reimburse the developers for installing the Drainage Plan Facilities.
Following completion of the drainage improvements, the facilities are transferred to the local agencies for
maintenance and operation in accordance with the Fee Collection, Right of Way, and Maintenance Agreement in
effect. The Drainage Area 10 improvements go to the City of Danville; Drainage Area 13 facilities go to Contra
Costa County; and Drainage Area 16 facilities go to the City of Pleasant Hill.
This Board action will allow the Chief Engineer of the Flood Control and Water Conservation District to reimburse
developers with funds on hand, whether collected via ad-valorem tax revenue or drainage area fees.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not taken, the Flood Control and Water Conservation District will not have the flexibility to use
ad-valorem tax revenues to reimburse developers for the costs to construct drainage infrastructure that exceed their
drainage fee obligations.
