(FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FUNDS) (DISTRICT II AND V) DATE: JUNE 17, 2008 PAGE: 2 of 3 FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact-to the General Fund. Funds are deposited by the FC District into the Flood Control Revolving Fund and loaned from the Flood Control Revolving Fund to another drainage entity. The borrowing drainage entity agrees to pay the loan principal and interest over a five-year period. Flood Control Zone 9(FCZ 9)currently does not have sufficient funds available to provide in-kind services for the City of Pinole's River Parkways Grant and for construction of needed flood containment berms and floodwalls. FCZ 9 needs to borrow $425,000 from the Flood Control Revolving Fund. Drainage Area 48B (DA 48B) has currently accumulated unfunded costs of $16,000 for administration, project planning and development coordination activities and is estimated to need an additional$3,000 this fiscal year and$11,000 in fiscal year 2008- 2009 for similar activities. DA 48B needs to borrow $30,000 from the Flood Control Revolving Fund. The FC District currently has funds that are temporarily not needed and are available to deposit to the Flood Control Revolving Fund. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: In 1966,the FC District,in cooperation with the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers(Corps),constructed improvements in lower Pinole Creek. Since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978,FCZ 9 has received no property tax revenue to support the maintenance of existing flood control improvements or the construction of future flood control facilities in Piriole Creek. The State of California provided limited funding, in the form of Special District Augmentation Funds, until 1992. Since that time, FCZ 9 has depended on its reserve funds and revolving fund loans for maintenance of the storm drain facility and construction of future flood control facilities. The City of Pinole (City)was awarded a Proposition 50 River Parkways Grant from the State of California for the Pinole Creek Greenway Demonstration Project.The Demonstration Project will modify the lower reaches of Pinole Creek by excavating a floodplain bench to increase channel capacity and will improve public access paths and install interpretive signage. The plan originally proposed to address sections of the creek both upstream and downstream of the Union Pacific Railroad crossing.However,the project will have to be phased in order to resolve utility conflicts at the existing bridge on Railroad Avenue. FC District staff has collaborated with the City and their consultants to develop a restoration plan that minimizes sediment removal to limit environmental disturbance. The FC District's hydraulic analysis of the restoration plan indicates the need to construct berms and flood walls along portions of the creek to restore the level of flood protection provided by the original Corps project. Therefore, FCZ 9 requires funding for the design and construction of the berms and flood.walls and for continuing support of the grant funded creek restoration elements of the project. The FC District and City anticipate that the citizens of Pinole and Hercules will recognize the value of the restored reach of Pinole Creek as a community amenity and will ultimately approve a community finance measure to fund the complete restoration of Pinole Creek as well as its long-term maintenance. FC District staff has been engaged in detailed analysis.of drainage improvements in DA 48B required to serve development proposed by private developers and encouraged by the County Redevelopment Agency. The FC District anticipated drainage fees generated from development would pay for the staff costs accumulated to date. Unfortunately, economic factors have delayed initiation of the project. DA 48B requires funding to cover expenses accrued to date and expected next fiscal year for drainage area administration,project planning, and coordination. SUBJECT: _ ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING DEPOSIT BY THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TO THE FLOOD CONTROL REVOLVING FUND AND LOAN FROM THE FUND TO FLOOD CONTROL ZONE 9 AND DRAINAGE AREA 48B. (FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT FUNDS) (DISTRICT lI AND V) DATE: JUNE 17, 2008 PAGE: 3 of 3 The FC District currently has finds that are temporarily not needed and are available to be deposited into the Flood Control Revolving Fund. The attached resolution requests approval of the deposit from the FC District to the Flood Control Revolving Fund and a loan from the Flood Control Revolving Fund to FCZ 9 and DA 48B. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the proposed deposit and loans are not approved,the Pinole Creek Greenway Demonstration Project grant money will be lost due to inadequate local cost sharing and the project will not be built; and staff will be unable to adequately review and comment on development proposals in DA 48B.
