City of Colton Agenda Report Council Meeting of April 6, 1999 Li 3-5 Storm Drain Phase 11 Project On January 5, 1999 and on March 16, 1999 thebity council approved amendments to the County of San Bernardino / City of Colton Memorandum' of Understanding for Infrastructure Improvements Surrounding the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. These amendments serve a dual purpose as they reaffirm the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton commitments to solving the drainage problems in that area. Furthermore, it commits immediate funding for the preliminary design and environmental work that is necessary for the 3-5 Storm Drain Phase If Project. The 3-5 Storm Drain is the regional drainage system that would transmit storm and nuisance waters from the areas surrounding the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center to the Santa Ana River. Phase 11 of the 3-5 Storm Drain is specifically that portion of the 3-5 Storm Drain that will be located South of Interstate 10. u The Randall Avenue Storm Drain The Randall Avenue Storm Drain would consist of approximately 2200 linear feet of pipe and catch basins within the street right of way along Randall Avenue from Eucalyptus Avenue on the West to the Randall Detention Basin (approximately Meridian Avenue) on the East. The Randall Avenue Storm Drain will have a direct mitigating effect on the flow of waters from the North by directing them easterly into the soon to be enlarged Randall Detention Basin. Additionally, the Randall Avenue Storm Drain will protect the Jehue Middle School (on Pepper Avenue near Randall Avenue) and other downstream property owners (including the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center) from storm and nuisance waters. Finally, the Randall Avenue Storm Drain will help mitigate flooding at the intersections of Pepper Avenue and San Bernardino Avenue and at Pepper Avenue and Valley Boulevard. Because of these facts, the County of San Bernardino provided the design, environmental work and mitigation for this project at no cost to the City of Colton. Each of these individual projects will significantly contribute towards the mitigation of the existing flooding conditions currently experienced in the vicinity of the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. These projects when considered together as part of a three pronged approach lend themselves to be more than just three individual projects, rather they transcend into becoming an integral strategy to virtually eliminate the flooding that currently exists in that part of the community. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Staff is recommending that the Randall Avenue Storm Drain Project be funded by proceeds from Community Facilities District ("CFD") 89-2. The intention of the CFD Bonds (specifically 89-2) was to provide for infrastructure improvements, namely street, water system, and storm drain improvements. Of the approximately $3,400,000 of bonds that were issued, the proceeds were earmarked for the following projects: Storm Drainage $1,600,000 Water, Sewer& Street $1,400,000 Cost of Issuance $ 400,000
