6 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT Council Meeting of January 5, 1999 TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members APPROVAL: Henry T. Garcia, City Manag FROM: Daryl J. Parrish, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Consider Amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton for Medical Center Offsite Improvements to Provide Funding for the Development of a Strategy and a Plan to Mitigate the Current Flooding Conditions that are Experienced in the Areas Immediately Surrounding the Arrowhead Regional Medical Center DATE: December 22, 1998 BACKGROUND: In May 1995, the City Council approved the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton for the Construction of Traffic Mitigation and Infrastructure Improvements related to the Medical Center Project. On December 15, 1998, members of staff met with Council Member Sanders, Judy Battey, Supervisor Eaves' Office, Ken Miller and Ken Guidrey, San Bernardino County Flood Control, Tim Wilson, GTS and Associates, Bruce Cash, United Strategies Inc., and Glen Sams, Arrowhead Management Group. The meeting focused on the need for the City of Colton and the County of San Bernardino to develop a strategy and a plan to mitigate the current flooding conditions that are experienced on the west side of Colton and in the "County pocket' during periods of significant rainfall The possibility of amending the Memorandum of Understanding between the County of San Bernardino and the City of Colton for the Medical Center Offsite and Traffic Mitigation Improvements ("MOU") was discussed as a potential method of funding a portion of the project. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: In order to proceed with the pre -design and design phases of the 3-5 project, staff suggests processing an amendment to that portion of the MOU that funds what we call "Phase II" of 3-5 Storm Drain Project. Phase 1 of the project as identified in the MOU has been constructed. What the MOU provides is a $1,500,000 advance towards the construction costs (design costs included) of Phase 11 of the 3-5 Storm Drain Project. This advance is to be repaid by the City of Colton without interest from development impact fees imposed and collected by the City. Additionally, the MOU provides a $400,000 grant from the County to the City to be applied to the construction costs of Phase it of the project. The proposed amendment to section 2.13 of the MOU will accomplish the following tasks: Item # 13
