These improvements consisted of sewer, drainage, water and street facilities. The subject of this resolution relates to water facility improvements. A series of agreements were executed by the City, Otay Water District and EastLake Development Company to assure that the Otay Water District would be the ultimate owner of the water facilities and be reimbursed for their costs associated with the construction/inspection of these facilities. The Otay Water District, pursuant to these agreements, has submitted an invoice for payment of expenses they incurred to complete the inspection and administration of the Assessment District work. Their expense, however, is significantly more than was provided for in the original Engineer' s report. Sufficient funds are available from the unappropriated balance of the EastLake Assessment District 86-1 Improvement Fund to cover the added cost. According to Mr. Warren Diven, Bond Counsel for the Assessment District, this is an appropriate use of these funds. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the Resolution appropriating funds from the unappropriated balance of the EastLake Assessment District 86-1 Improvement Fund. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: The Assessment District 86-1 proceedings were initiated by the City as requested by the EastLake Development Company. The District proceedings were under the supervision of a Bond Counsel , Assessment Engineer and Financial Consultants who worked under contract for the City. The improvements were built by the EastLake Development Company. 6 Page 2, Item Meeting Date 5/12/87 The Assessment Engineer prepared an Engineer's Report showing all the costs associated with the proceedings. The Final Engineer' s Report was approved by the City Council on July, 1986 by Resolution No. 12625. This report allocated $73,438 for plan check and inspection fees. The total cost for plan check and inspection fees are now estimated at $96,862 or an additional $23,424. The reason for this increase is that the Otay Water District expenditures were significantly higher than were originally estimated by the Assessment Engineer. These additional Otay Water District costs have been substantiated and approved by the EastLake Development Company. Investment earnings on bond proceeds are available and according to Bond Counsel can be used to reimburse Otay Water District for their expenses. Additionally, $65,000 was contributed by the Otay Water District in July, 1986 to oversize water transmission facilities. This was done to accommodate future development outside the Assessment District 86-1 boundary. This contribution of $65,000 was never appropriated and should be, to properly reflect budgeted expenditures for the project. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the City.
