CITY OF SAN BERQRDINO - REQUEST CbR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
At the meeting of May 7, 1990, the council had requested
clarification on the issue of city participation in terms of
funding fifty percent of the costs associated with the
removal of existing driveway approaches and infilling of curb
depressions. This request for clarification from the Council
was submitted in response to concerns identified at the
protest hearing relative to the notice to construct chapter
12.92 improvements.
Resolution No. 90-8, which was adopted on January 8, 1990,
provides a procedure for city participation of up to one-half
the cost of reconstruction and/or repair of sidewalks, curbs,
and gutters located on the public right-of-way. The
infilling of curb depressions and driveway approaches is also
included as an eligible program in this resolution. The
ability to utilize either Public Services staff or private
contractor is provided for in the resolution. Due to
workload considerations, the preferred alternative is the use
of private contractors for these types of projects. Although
the program was envisioned primarily to address the repair of
existing sidewalk, curb, and gutters, it could be expanded to
also include projects constructed under Chapter 12.92 of the
Municipal Code.
Public Works/Engineering has estimated that approximately 65
parcels remain to be notified of the City's intent to require
either removal of existing driveway approaches or
reconstruction of curb, gutter and sidewalk. At an average
total cost of $3,000 per parcel (or $1,500 if the property
owners exercised this City matching program), the impact on
the City will be approximately $100,000. Since this program
was not budgeted, and assuming the Mayor and Council want to
implement the City matching program for the types of
improvements, it is recommended that $100,000 be allocated
from the bond proceeds to fund the city's participation in
this program. It should be noted that the Mayor and Council
took action in october, 1989 to allocate $1 million of bond
proceeds for the purpose of funding blight reduction
pr gram . This program could be funded from this allocation.
