| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The North Davis Meadows CSA is pursuing approval of a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) planning loan to cover the cost of consolidating the CSA water system with the City of Davis Public Water System. The SRF requires the CSA to secure repayment of any loan approved. On May 31, 2016, a Proposition 218 hearing was held and successfully passed to adopt a fee increase to cover the increasing costs of providing water service in the CSA. This action today is to pledge and dedicate revenues for repayment of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund planning loan.
The North Davis Meadows CSA has been working toward a permanent solution for the mitigation of water quality concerns in the subdivision. The CSA Advisory Committee and County staff have been in discussions with the City of Davis and have reached agreement with them to provide water service to the CSA if the CSA provides the necessary infrastructure to do so. The County has submitted an initial draft of a SRF construction loan application to the State Water Board for funding. To complete the final draft of the construction loan application, the plans and specifications, as well as an engineer’s report, must be completed, all at a cost to the CSA. The CSA intends to cover these costs with a planning loan from the SRF.
Costs included in the planning loan application for $430,000 include: 1) the cost to produce required technical documents estimated to be $384,000 based on anticipated fees of West Yost Associates; 2) the cost for an assessment engineer's report required for a Proposition 218 fee increase for construction costs, estimated to be $7,000 based on anticipated fees of Bartle Wells Associates; and 3) contingency and administration costs for the planning portion of the consolidation agreement, estimated to be $39,000 at 10% of the planning project cost. |
