R-121-96 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON REQUESTING RELIEF FROM SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY ASSESSMENT DISTRICT FOR THE SAN TIMOTEO FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT WHEREAS, on March 19, 1996, the City Council of the City of Colton adopted Resolution R-25-96 which determined that property within the City would benefit from improvements to be constructed for storm water drainage purposes in the San Timoteo Creek area (the "San Timoteo Creek Flood Control Project") which is a part of the Santa Ana River Main Stem Project, which is a regional flood control project approved by the United States Congress and funded in substantial part by the federal government; and WHEREAS, subsequent adoption of Resolution R-25-96, it has come to the attention of the City that in all other projects included within the Santa Ana Main Stem Project, including the Seven Oaks Dam, the Mill Creek Levy and improvements to Prado Dam near Corona, all of which are projects of regional value and multi jurisdictional impact, the local share of cost for such projects has been paid within San Bernardino County by the County's Flood Control District (the "District") through the use of available cash, services and contributions of District land, spreading the cost of these improvements throughout the County; and WHEREAS, only with regard to the San Timoteo Creek Flood Control Project does it appear that local communities and residents have been required to pay the cost of the project through local property assessments; and WHEREAS, in view of the longstanding policy of the County of San Bernardino to fund projects included within the Santa Ana River Main Stem Project through the County's Flood Control District rather than by assessments on landowners it is unfair to burden landowners
