STAFF REPORT
ALLOCATION OF FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$25.000 FOR THE MACY/BLAKE SEWER
The Macy/Blake sewer is an existing improvement. It was installed to
address the health and safety needs of the community and elimination of
slum and blight. Funds sought for the project represent a continuation
of that effort. The sewer serves City and County of San Bernardino
residents, as confirmed by the City Public Works and Water Departments,
and is within the City Sphere of influence boundaries, but within the
County's jurisdiction (see attached map) . The purpose of land being
placed within the City Sphere of influence is to assure administrative
and operational coordination by and between the County and City in
anticipation of such properties ultimately being annexed into the
City. Prior funding for installation was undertaken due to the mutual
benefit anticipated for both County and City residents.
Subsequent to installation, residents within the surrounding areas
began complaining about unpleasant and noxious odors coming from the
sewer in the vicinity of Macy and Blake Streets. Such unhealthy
conditions and occurrences became wind blown and were intermittent but
persistent. Evidence of the odors was monitored and confirmed by the
County Environmental Health Services Department and verified through
field visits from staff of the Mayor's office.
It is estimated the cost to eliminate the odor will not exceed a total
of $50,000. The County staff has agreed to recommend the cost of the
required corrections be shared equally not to exceed $25,000 for each
entity. Agency staff concurs in this gesture and urges the offer be
accepted.
Staff believes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are
eligible for this activity and the amount requested should be approved
accordingly. CDBG funds are eligible for projects involving Public
Facilities and Improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, flood
and drainage improvements, etc. Such projects meet national community
development objectives in terms of addressing slum and blight, as well
as meeting urgent health and safety needs. The justification for
benefit to low to moderate income residents is present, but less
compelling.
