R-35-01 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON EXPRESSING THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS THE STORM DRAINAGE ISSUES PREVALENT ON THE WEST END OF THE CITY OF COLTON WHEREAS, on October 26, 1988, the City Council of the City of Colton adopted Ordinance No. 0-27-88 relating to the levy of storm drain facilities fees for Drainage Benefit Area No. 1, which is comprised of the property in the west end of the City of Colton within San Bernardino County Flood Control Study Zone 2; and WHEREAS, in recognition of the immediate and significant need for new storm drain facilities to serve property within San Bernardino County Flood Control Study Zone 2, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, the City of San Bernardino, the City of Rialto and the City of Colton have agreed to participate in the funding of a storm drain improvement system know as CSDP Project 3-5 ("Project 3-5°); and WHEREAS, the storm drain improvements planned for Project 3-5 consist of a series of contiguous storm drain improvements running from the East Rialto Channel and Pepper Avenue Basin, on the north, to the Santa Ana River, on the south; and WHEREAS, the Project 3-5 storm drain improvements are necessary to adequately and efficiently remove surface and storm waters generated within the cities of San Bernardino, Rialto, Colton and the County of San Bernardino; and WHEREAS, the development fees collected pursuant to Ordinance No. 0-27-88 are intended to fund the City of Colton's fair share of the cost of construction of the Project 3-5 storm drain improvements; and WHEREAS, to date, the funding required for the Project 3-5 storm drain improvements has not been collected or committed for the project and these essential improvements have not been constructed; and WHEREAS, the lack of adequate and effective storm drain improvements to serve the property within the San Bernardino County Flood Control Study Zone 2 has created significant flooding problems within the City of Colton, predominantly in the west and through no fault of the City; and WHEREAS, the flooding problem is often exacerbated by new development occurring in neighboring jurisdictions, such as the cities of San Bernardino and Rialto and the County of San Bernardino, and the construction of deficient storm drain improvements that may be adequate in serving the particular development, but are inadequate and ineffective in protecting downstream areas, such as the City of Colton; and Page 1
