7. SUBJECT: Gillespie Field Redevelopment Project - Cooperative Agreement with City of El Cajon and Construction of Marshall Avenue Road Improvements

(Supv. Dist: 2)

OVERVIEW:

In 1997, the County along with the City of El Cajon, through a cooperative application process, were awarded an Economic Development Administration matching-funds grant to construct the Marshall Avenue Road Improvement Project. The Road Improvement Project is located within the Gillespie Field Redevelopment Project area, and was included in the Five Year Implementation Plan approved by the Board (acting as the Redevelopment Agency) on May 12, 1998 (6). The estimated project cost is $3,300,000 and the financial assistance award is for half that amount, $1,650,000. The City and County will each contribute $825,000 of the $1,650,000 matching fund requirement.

The Board is requested to approve a Cooperative Agreement with the City, which outlines the obligations and responsibilities of each agency for satisfying the conditions of the financial assistance award, and for constructing the Road Improvement Project. The Board is requested to grant an easement to the City for the road right of way. The Board and the Redevelopment Agency are also requested to approve other associated actions required to facilitate the Road Improvement Project and the anticipated commercial development of adjacent airport land.

One of the associated actions requested of the Redevelopment Agency is the adoption of a Negative Declaration for the Broadway Box Culvert Improvement Project. The Broadway Box Culvert Improvement Project will construct a storm drain facility within the Marshall Avenue roadway, under the same contract to be let by the City for the Road Improvement Project.

The proposed actions will enable the near-term development of approximately 27.8 acres of prime industrial and aviation-use land adjacent to the Marshall Avenue right of way. The road improvements will also enhance the marketability of approximately 42 acres of commercial/industrial land on airport property at the northwest corner of Weld Boulevard and Cuyamaca Street. The basis for the Economic Development Administration grant, and a major benefit to the East County community, is the substantial job creation, which is projected to occur as a result of the road, and associated infrastructure improvements. The County's cost for the Road Improvement Project, exclusive of associated projects discussed below, will be approximately 25 percent of what it would otherwise cost without the financial assistance award and the participation of the City. Through the granting of an easement to the City for the Marshall Avenue right of way, the County will be relieved of the future obligation for maintaining the road.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Road Improvement Project is estimated to cost $3.3 million, including a 6 percent contingency estimate. The City and County are each responsible for 25 percent ($825,000), of the total project cost. The EDA Grant totals $1,650,000. Cost overruns will be shared equally between the City and County. The Board is asked to authorize funding up to $948,750 to cover the County's basic commitment plus cost overruns up to $123,750 ($825,000 + $123,750 = $948,750). The funding source is $743,750 of budgeted funds from the Airport Enterprise Fund (AEF), and $205,000 of budgeted funds from the Redevelopment Agency Gillespie Field Improvement Project Fund.

Certain utility costs are not included in the Road Improvement Project funding discussed above and will be borne solely by the County. This cost is estimated at $625,000 including contingency. This non-budgeted cost will be covered by funds available in the AEF reserve fund balance.

The Broadway Box Culvert Project costs are not included in the Road Improvement Project funding and will also be borne solely by the County. This cost is estimated to be $739,000 including contingency. This cost is budgeted in the Redevelopment Agency Gillespie Field Improvement Project Fund.

The estimated $135,000 cost of consulting services provided by Project Design Services is to be borne solely by the County. This non-budgeted cost will be covered by funds available in the AEF reserve fund balance.

If approved, this request will result in a current year cost of $2,447,750; apportioned, $1,503,750 to the AEF, and $944,000 to the Redevelopment Agency Gillespie Field Improvement Project Fund. There is no annual cost, and no additional staff years are required. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Submitted Attachment 1 to this Board item Projects and Related Funding Sources contains tables which illustrate the distribution of County costs and the costs to be borne by other agencies for the Road Improvement Project and associated projects.

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

This proposal will have a positive impact on the local business community by creating construction jobs, by improving traffic circulation in a commercial area, and by the creation of permanent jobs by businesses leasing land adjacent to Marshall Avenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Concur with the City of El Cajon's finding of Negative Declaration dated May 14, 1998 for the Marshall Avenue Road Improvement Project and associated related projects.

The grant requires completion of the construction of runway safety area improvements by November 30, 1998. Construction is scheduled to commence immediately upon contracting for the construction management services of a firm acceptable to the FAA.

Pursuant to procedures of Board Policy F-40, Procuring Architectural, Engineering and Related Professional Services, the firm of John Powell & Associates, Inc. was selected as the firm best qualified to provide the construction management services.

10. SUBJECT: Construction of East Vista Way Improvements in Bonsall

(Supv. Dist: 5)

OVERVIEW:

On April 21, 1998 (22), the Board authorized the advertisement for bids of a project to construct road improvements on East Vista Way in Bonsall. This road widening and reconstruction project will benefit the community by upgrading the traffic handling capacity of this road and by improving vehicular and pedestrian safety.

Bids were subsequently opened on June 18, 1998. The bid submitted by Excel Commercial Constructors, the low responsible and responsive bidder, is considered fair and reasonable. Approval of the recommended action will result in the award of a construction contract to Excel Commercial Constructors in the amount of $423,104.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total funds required for this project are $486,604 based on the contract ($423,104) plus a 15 percent contingency ($63,500). Funds for this proposal are partially budgeted in the Department of Public Works Fiscal Year 1997-98 Detailed Work Program. The funding gap will be closed by establishing additional appropriations in the amount of $68,604 based on available TransNet revenue identified for this project. This project was previously approved on March 19, 1996 (6) as part of the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). The funding source is TransNet Funds.

11. SUBJECT: Natural Habitat Creation as Mitigation for Jamacha Boulevard Road Widening in Rancho San Diego

(Supv. Dist: 2)

OVERVIEW:

This is a request for approval of the advertisement and subsequent award of a construction contract to create natural habitat as a mitigation measure for the Jamacha Boulevard road widening project. The Negative Declaration for the road widening project, certified by the Board on October 8, 1996 (14), required implementation of a natural habitat creation program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this proposal are budgeted in the Department of Public Works' 1998-99 Detailed Work Program. Funding is available from the Rancho San Diego Partners Trust Fund. This trust fund contains funds deposited by Rancho San Diego Partners for the Jamacha Boulevard road widening project pursuant to the Settlement Agreement Concerning Construction Funding for Road Improvement in Rancho San Diego (Willow Glen Drive, Jamacha Boulevard, and SR 54/94) between the County, Rancho San Diego Partners and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation approved by the Board on March 6, 1996 (1). The agreement, made necessary by the bankruptcy of Rancho San Diego Partners, required Rancho San Diego Partners to deposit $2,859,957 for the Jamacha Boulevard road improvement project and required the County to assume responsibility for the construction of the road improvement project. If approved, this request will result in $180,000 current year cost, no annual cost and require the addition of no staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Find that on October 8, 1996 (14), the Board determined that construction of the Jamacha Boulevard road widening project would not have a significant effect on the environment.

OVERVIEW:

On April 21, 1993 (14), the Board of Supervisors approved final Subdivision Map No. 13029 and entered into the Agreement to Improve Major Subdivision Tract No. 4896-1. The original developer of this subdivision defaulted on the project and the performance bond was paid to the County. On December 2, 1997 (6), the Board approved an agreement with two property owners in the subdivision, Robert J. Truitt and H.F.T. Investments, to complete the improvements with reimbursement from the performance bond proceeds. The property owners had difficulty in securing a contractor able to complete the work for the amount of the bond proceeds. As a result, on February 3, 1998 (10), the Board of Supervisors approved a replacement contract with Truitt/H.F.T. which included changes in the contract requirements to facilitate the construction of the improvements. This replacement agreement was not executed by Truitt/H.F.T. because of disagreement between these parties. The principles now wish to substitute parties and proceed with the improvements.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funds for this proposal were received from the bonding company and are available to guarantee construction of the improvements under the agreement. If approved, this request will result in a current year cost of $98,300, no annual cost, and will require the addition of no staff years.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Approve and authorize the execution by the Clerk of the Board, upon receipt, of the Agreement Between the County of San Diego, H.F.T.

(Supv. Dist: 2)

OVERVIEW:

On June 20, 1989 (San 1), the Board adopted Policy I-113, Establishment of Priorities for Limited Sewer Treatment Capacity in the Julian Sanitation District, which was intended to allocate diminishing sewer capacity in the Julian Sanitation District among various user groups.

28. SUBJECT: Solana Beach Cooperative Agreement and Monitoring the Compliance of Low-Income Housing Restrictions for Cities in San Diego County

(Supv. Dist: All)

OVERVIEW:

This is a request to authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to execute a cooperative agreement with the City of Solana Beach for the County to monitor compliance of low-income housing restrictions. The City of Solana Beach has required that the developer of a new housing development sell one home to a low-income household, pursuant to the City's Inclusionary Housing Policy. The City has requested that the County monitor the 30 year low-income resale requirement placed on the occupancy of the property.

This is also a request to authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to enter into future cooperative agreements with other San Diego County cities who request the County to monitor compliance of city imposed low-income housing restrictions. This action, if approved, would enable cities to contract with the County for any low-income housing monitoring services. This action would also reduce County and city staff time in processing individual agreements and customer service would be enhanced for cities requesting County assistance with their affordable housing needs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of providing this type of service is offset by fees paid by developers/owners of housing developments with low-income restrictions to be monitored by the County. If approved, this request will result in no additional current year nor annual cost, and will require the addition of no staff years as both the costs and revenues have been anticipated in the 1998-99 adopted budget. Upon resale of the subject property, the County is to receive a percentage of the proceeds for providing resale monitoring services (Submitted Attachment A).

BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:

This proposal will have no impact on the business community, related to business investment or job creation.

RECOMMENDATION:

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to enter into a cooperative agreement with the City of Solana Beach to monitor compliance of the City's imposed 30-year low-income housing restriction on the resale of a single-family home.

2. Authorize the Director of Housing and Community Development to enter into cooperative agreements, with County Counsel concurrence, with other San Diego County cities who request the County to monitor city imposed low-income housing restrictions.

AYES: Cox, Jacob, Slater, Roberts, Horn

29. SUBJECT: Extension of Mobilehome Occupant Assistance Program Loan Repayment Term for Osborne Park Mobilehome Park

(Supv. Dist: 5)

OVERVIEW:

The Mobilehome Occupant Assistance Program provides a vehicle for the delivery of home ownership opportunities for lower income households and a solution to the problem of economic displacement of lower income residents when mobilehome parks convert to resident ownership.

This is a request to approve modifying the term of an existing Mobilehome Occupant Assistance Program loan with a five year due date extension to September 9, 2002. The loan amount is $175,000 and there is no interest accrual. In lieu of interest, an additional sum equal to 25% of the increase in value is due upon loan repayment. As of this date there is no increase in value. The Board of Supervisors approved this ten year loan on August 18, 1987 (32). The non-profit resident association has asked for an extension because they are unable to repay the loan on the due date, but have several investments that should earn the necessary funds within five years.

33. SUBJECT: Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan and Tobacco Tax Health Education Account Contract Amendment

(Supv. Dist: All)

OVERVIEW:

The County receives funding from the State for local tobacco education and prevention activities as a direct result of the1988 California voter-approved Tobacco Tax Initiative. The State's overall goal is to reduce tobacco consumption by contracting with counties to provide tobacco education and prevention services. Currently, San Diego County ranks first among large counties in decreasing tobacco use.

Every two to three years, the State requires the County to submit a Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan detailing the scope of work and budget according to State-mandated priority areas. The State's on-going priority areas are: (1) Reduce Youth Access to Tobacco, (2) Counter Pro-Tobacco Influences and (3) Reduce Exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke. On June 11, 1996 (1D), the Board approved a two-year Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan for Fiscal Years 1996-97 and 1997-98. A new Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan has been prepared for Fiscal Years 1998-99 through 2000-01. It emphasizes youth prevention activities as the primary strategy for reducing adult smoking over time. The primary goals of the plan are to reduce youth experimentation with tobacco products, reduce local tobacco industry sponsorship and increase merchant compliance with State laws. Board action is requested to authorize submission of the Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan to the State and to approve an amendment to the County's Fiscal Year 1997-98 revenue agreement with the State. The amendment will provide an additional $385,159 in funding which will be deposited in the County's Tobacco Control Program Trust Fund to be used for program activities through June 30, 2001. In addition, authorization is requested to continue contracting with the San Diego State University Foundation for tobacco control services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The State Tobacco Tax is the funding source for this program combining County-provided and contract-provided services. If approved, this request will not change the current year budgeted cost and revenue amount of $1,721,326 for tobacco education and control activities. It will not change the subsequent year budgeted cost and revenue amount of $1,721,326 nor add staff years.

The County is mandated to implement State Labor Code Section 6404.5 which was expanded to include bars, taverns and gaming clubs effective January 1, 1998. This new law requires most places of employment to be smoke-free. The Health and Human Services Agency provides compliance assistance to employers as it pertains to the new State Law.

CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER:

1. Approve the submission to the State of the Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan for Fiscal Years 1998-99, 1999-00 and 2000-01.
