BE IT NOW THEREFORE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: The City Council is committed to addressing the serious flooding problems occurring in the west end portion of the City of Colton. The City Council recognizes that the flooding in these areas is often times at such a magnitude as to be a serious threat to the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City of Colton through no fault of the City. The City Council believes that the most effective way of resolving the flooding problem in these areas is to diligently pursue the implementation of Project 3-5 and the construction of the storm drain improvements that are desperately needed in these areas. 2. In order to achieve the goals expressed in this resolution, the City Council believes the following actions should be taken: a. City staff should continue working with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the cities of San Bernardino and Rialto and the County of San Bernardino, to implement standardized storm drain development fees that should be allocated to fund the construction of the Project 3-5 storm drain improvements and any other storm drain improvements that will benefit the property within the San Bernardino County Flood Control Study Zone 2. b. Review the City of Colton's Storm Drain Facilities Fee, imposed pursuant to Ordinance No. 0-27-88, and modify it, if necessary, to more accurately reflect the cost of constructing storm drain improvements, including local and regional facilities, and to provide more current assumptions regarding funding sources. The review of the City of Colton's Storm Drain Facilifies Fee should include an investigation of successful strategies employed by other California cities to address similar problems. C. Diligently pursue other funding options for the Project 3-5 storm drain improvements, including funds and grants available at the local, state and federal level and funds available from the private sector. This analysis should include funding options that the City of Colton can pursue individually or in conjunction with neighboring jurisdictions, such as the cifies of San Bernardino and Rialto and the County of San Bernardino.
