Resolution /2 3 )—Accepting 16 drainage easements for the construction of Telegraph Canyon Creek Flood Control Channel 4, SUBMITTED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer4j� , REVIEWED BY: City Manager 16/14____ (4/5ths Vote: es No X ) On January 1 , 1986, the Montgomery area annexation officially became effective and the City of Chula Vista assumed the entire responsibility for the construction of the Telegraph Canyon Creek Flood Control Project. Prior to the annexation, the County of San Diego was the lead agency for this project and was responsible for the right-of-way acquisition proceedings. We have requested the County of San Diego to continue acquiring the rights-of-way on our behalf. A contract for their services has been prepared and is herewith attached for your approval . To build the project, we need to acquire rights-of-way (easements) from 39 property owners (excluding SDG&E Co. ) . To date, we have obtained executed deeds from 16 property owners and have 23 yet to obtain. We expect that the majority of these 23 unsigned easements will be dedicated without having to go through to eminent domain proceedings. These proceedings, however, have to be initiated now to assure that we will meet the Corps of Engineer' s schedule for bidding the project on April 3, 1986. RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt resolutions: a. Certify that, in accordance with Section 15221 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the Telegraph Canyon Creek EIR has been prepared in accordance with CEQA and that the City Council has reviewed and considered the information in that document as they reach a decision on the project. b. Approving agreement with the County for real property acquisition services. c. Accepting the 16 drainage easements. d. Setting public hearing to be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers on February 18, 1986, to determine necessity to acquire property. Page 2, Item 9a b c Meeting Date 1/21/ 86 BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: To construct the Telegraph Canyon Creek Flood Control Project, the City needs to obtain rights-of-way from 39 property owners (excluding SDG&E Co. ) . The County was the lead agency for this project prior to this year and was responsible for acquiring all the rights-of-way. The City was to reimburse the County for their acquisition costs associated with those parcels in the City. Since the Montgomery area is now a part of Chula Vista, we are now the sole agency responsible for the project. The County of San Diego has agreed to continue acting as our right-of-way agent and to obtain the needed rights-of-way on our behalf. To this effect, we have prepared an agreement for real property acquisition services with the County. Per this agreement, the County will perform these services (excluding escrow services at an hourly rate, with a total amount not to exceed $50,000 without the prior written consent of the City Engineer. We will negotiate a contract with First American Title Company for escrow services to complete the acquisition proceedings. This company is recommended because: 1 ) the County contracted with them to provide preliminary title reports, 2) First American Title Company is familiar with the County procedures and 3) would preclude the expense of purchasing new title reports. We estimate the cost of the escrow services to be between $250 and $500 per parcel . The resolution accepting the easements will authorize the City Engineer to negotiate a contract with First American Title Company for the escrow services necessary to complete the acquisition proceedings. The total cost to acquire the rights-of-way is estimated to be about $676,200. This does not include any costs that may be associated with obtaining right-of-way from SDG&E. These costs (right-of-way) as well as other costs (some portions of construction) are eligible for reimbursement from the State Department of Water Resources once the project has been completed, are estimated to be $980,000. The cost of the project is roughly estimated to be about $8,900,000. The Federal participation has remained constant at $4,000,000 and the County's participation is limited to funds already committed to the project prior to the Montgomery Annexation approval (estimated to be about $200,000). If the Federal Government's share of $4,000,000 is not increased, and it is doubtful that it will be, we will have to supplement previous years appropriations of $2,313,400 by another $2,386,600. This additional appropriation will have to be made no later than in the FY86-87 budget. These funds will be provided from various sources including Redevelopment Agency funds, Block Grant, Gas Tax (limited to bridge construction) , Residential Construction Tax, and if required, General Fund Reserves. We have requested the Corps of Engineers to prepare a revised cost estimate that will allow us to better determine our share of the project' s cost. We expect to have these issues resolved prior to February 18, 1986. As shown on the table below, on Page 3, Item 9a, b, c Meeting Date 1/21/86 February 18, 1986, we will request Council approval of the "221 Agreement" with the Federal Government and to adopt the resolution of public necessity to acquire the easements through eminent domain not yet granted by the property owners. The "221 Agreement" is the master agreement obligating the City to construct the project. Proposed Schedule Action Date 1 . Council approves agreement with County, certifies 1-21-86 EIR; accepts dedicated easements and; sets public hearing to determine public necessity 2. Council holds public hearing; adopts resolution 2-18-86 of public necessity; approves 221 Agreement with Federal Government 3. Suit filed by City Attorney 3-4-86 4. Serve summons and complaints to property owners; 3-18-86 affidavits returned to Court 5. Advertise for bids 4-3-86 6. Receive bids 5-6-86 7. Begin construction 6-2-86 8. 90-day order for possession effective and 6-18-86 certification of right-of-way. This project has been in the planning and design phase for several years. In 1977, the County of San Diego and Chula Vista requested that Telegraph Canyon Creek be studied as a small project under the authority contained in Section 205, of the Flood Control Act of 1948, as amended. Public comments were solicited throughout the planning process and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) documents prepared by the Corps of Engineers. The Final EIS which describes the environmental issues created by the project as now proposed, was completed by the Corps of Engineers in July 1983 (see attached) . This document is considered to adequately review the projects environmental impacts and the acquisition of the needed rights-of-way for its construction. The mitigating measures discussed in the EIS have been included in the project' s plans and specifications by the Corps of Engineers. Section 15221 of the State CEQA Guidelines provide for the use of Federal Environmental Documents when they have been prepared prior to State or local agency actions. FISCAL IMPACT: The contract for real property acquisition is on an hourly basis with a total amount not to exceed $50,000. The total right-of-way acquisition cost is estimated to be about $676,200. Funds have been budgeted ($2,313,400) that can be used to cover the entire right-of-way acquisition cost. City needs to fund another $2,386,600 to cover the entire estimated Page 4, Item 9a, b, c Meeting Date 1/21/86 Chula Vista share of the project cost. California Department of Water Resources will reimburse the City for approximately $980,000. The date of reimbursement is uncertain and is dependent on available State funding and requests of other projects. It could take 2-3 years to receive reimbursement. Sources of revenue for additional funding are: 1 . Community Development Block Grant funds 2. Residential Construction Tax 3. Gas Tax (limited to bridge only $650,000) 4. Redevelopment Agency funds 5. Issuance of bonds or certificates of participation (use of this mechanism would require a source of funds for debt payments) 6. General Fund reserves. WPC 1829E by tip C , . ,i, s Chula Viet,., Dated `' 7-6f7-6- TELEGRAPH CANYON CREEK CITY OF CHULA VISTA SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA • MAIN REPORT DETAILED PROJECT REPORT FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT JULY 1983 5 7-J / CONCLUSIONS Various alternative solutions, both structural and nonstructural, were considered along Telegraph Canyon Creek. Public involvement was an important function in the development of each alternative solution and its impact for the water resources in the drainage area. Five cost effective solutions for Reach I are presented in this report and are discussed in detail. It was concluded that Plans C-1 , C-2, and C-3 were not acceptable because the 60-year flood protection that they would provide was not acceptable to the local interests. Adoption of these plans would necessitate a continuation of the flood insurance program. Part of this program requires regulation of the 100-year flood plain. This would require purchase of flood insurance and floodproofing to the limits of 1 the 100-year flood plain. Moreover, it was concluded that 60-year flood protection does not provide adequate protection to this highly urbanized area. It was further concluded that construction of recreation facilities along Telegraph Canyon Creek is not feasible. Beautification was considered and a program was developed. The selected plan (Plan M) was economically justified, environmentally acceptable, supported by the sponsors (San Diego County and the City of Chula Vista), and recommended by the Telegraph Canyon - Creek Citizens Advisory Committee. Plan M is a combination structural and nonstructural solution to the flood problem along Telegraph Canyon Creek. Reach I (San Diego Bay to 4th Avenue) was found to be a Federal responsibility and Reach II (4th Avenue to Hilltop Drive) was found to be a non-Federal responsibility. Local sponsors have expressed a desire to implement this alternative. In accordance with the requirements of Executive Order 11988, an evaluation has been made concerning the 4 acres of land in the project area that would be subject to development if the project were constructed. These 4 acres consist of several parcels located in various areas of the proposed project. This land cannot be excluded from the project. It has been determined that construction of the proposed project will induce development of these 4 acres within the flood plain. The evaluation resulted in a determination that there is no practicable alternative to locating in or impacting the flood plain. Protection of wetlands was a consideration in the planning process. Measures have been incorporated to avoid any adverse construction impacts upon the habitat or endangered species in the J Street Marsh. The operation and maintenance program, as proposed, would not adversely affect the marsh habitat. (See pars. 4.19 and 4.20, environmental impact statement.) The recommended plan is in compliance with Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands. 56 RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend that the Chief of Engineers approve a project for the control of floods along Telegraph Canyon Creek, San Diego County, California, in accordance with the authority contained in Section 205, Flood Control Act of 1948, as amended, and also in accordance with the selected plan described in this report and shown in figure 7 with such modifications as may be advisable, at a total first cost now estimated to be $5,390,000 and at a first cost to the United States limited to $4,000,000 (April 1983 price levels). Except as otherwise provided in these recommendations, the exact amount of non-Federal contributions shall be determined by the Chief of Engineers prior to project implementation, in accordance with the following requirements to which . non-Federal interests must agree prior to implementation: �. + 1. Provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way, including suitable borrow and spoil disposal areas, necessary for construction of the project. 2. Where total construction costs for the entire project exceed the Federal limitation expressed in Section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act (PL 80-858) and its amendments, provide a cash contribution for the amount of the excess. This contribution is presently estimated at $160,000. 3. As made necessary by construction, accomplish, without cost to the United States, all alterations and relocations of buildings, transportation facilities, storm drains, utilities, and other structures and improvements. This provision excludes railroad bridges and approaches, and facilities necessary for the normal interception and disposal of local interior drainage at the line of protection. 4. Maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, at an annual cost now estimated at $9,000. 5. Hold and save the United States free from water rights claims caused by the construction and operation of the project. 6. Prescribe and enforce regulations to prevent obstruction or encroachment on flood control works that would reduce their flood-carrying capacity or hinder maintenance and operation, and control development in the project area to prevent an undue increase in the flood damage potential. 7. Publicize flood plain information in the areas concerned and provide this information to zoning and other regulator agencies for their guidance and leadership in preventing unwise future development in the flood plain. 57 A-r 8. Hold and save the United States free from damages caused by construction, operation, and maintenance of the project, excluding damages that are due to the fault or negligence of the United States or its tractors. • AUL W.
