TO:
Members of the Board of the Inland Valley Development
Agency
Edward W. pilot
FROM:
DATE:
March 2, 1994
RE:
RESOLUTION OF THE INLAND VALLEY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
APPROVING THE AWARD OF THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION TITLE IX
SSED GRANT AND THE SPECIAL AND GENERAL TERMS AND
CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO
BACKGROUND
The Inland Valley Development Agency ("Agency") is a
Joint Powers Authority created pursuant to Government Code Section
6500, et sea. and Health and Safety Code Section 33320.5, for the
purposes of acquiring and reusing certain Norton Air Force Base
properties if and when available for acquisition.
section 4.02 of the Amended Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement authorizes the Agency to apply for, receive and utilize
grants and loans from federal or state government or any other
source.
The United States Department of Commerce, Economic
Development Administration ("EDA") has awarded the Agency and the
city of San Bernardino ("city") an approximately $6,825,000 Title
IX SSED Grant ("Grant") to fund a portion of the design,
construction and implementation of certain roadway, highway, water
main, booster pump, replacement wells and other utility
infrastructure improvements presently estimated to cost
approximately $9,100,000 ("Proposed Infrastructure Improvements")
for which the Agency will be required to obtain approximately
$2,275,000 from other funding sources to complete the Proposed
Infrastructure Improvements.
The award of the Grant is made subject to the Agency and
the city's approval of the Special and General Terms and Conditions
related to the Grant. The City and the Agency must provide the EDA
with written approval by March 25, 1994.
-1-
94" 68
Page 2
The special and General Terms and Conditions currently
require the Agency and the City to among other things: (i) provide
satisfactory evidence that the requirements of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended by the community Environmental Response Facilitation Act of
1992 have been met and any resultant applicable mitigation be
incorporated into the conditions; and (ii) agree that any facility
to be utilized in the accomplishment of this Project is not listed
on the Environmental Protection Agency's List of violating
Facilities. However, in light of the fact that the united states
Air Force has caused hazardous waste conditions on the Property and
that the Property has been designated as a National priorities List
Site, neither the Agency nor the city appears to be in a position
to make the above representations.
Therefore, provided that the EDA agrees to delete or
otherwise modify such terms and conditions in accordance with the
Addenda to the Special and General Terms and Conditions, it will be
appropriate to adopt this Resolution so that the Agency and the
City can avail themselves of the benefits of the Grant.
RECOMMENDATION
Provided that the EDA agrees to delete or otherwise
modify the Special and General Terms and conditions as set forth
above, it is recommended that the Board of the Agency adopt the
Resolution approving the Award of the Grant and the Special and
General Terms and Conditions Related Thereto and authorizing the
Executive Director to execute the same with any such changes as may
be approved by the Executive Director and Agency Counsel.
