Its main purpose is to upgrade the area water system to provide domestic water and meet standards of the Fire Department. The general location of the proposed improvements is on Rialto Avenue from Mt. Vernon Avenue to slightly west of Medical Center Drive. It is fitting and appropriate that this be done since the site is in the Mount Vernon Corridor Redevelopment Project Area and because the business will result in an increase in the tax base and up to 200 new jobs. While the approximate value of the project improvements is known to be $10 million, the exact amounts of new tax revenue to be derived from the project are unknown at this point, so it is recommended that funding be contingent on Agency approval of the general adequacy of these numbers. It is critical that this item be approved at the earliest possible date, as representatives from Santa Fe have indicated that they would like their automobile distribution facility to be operational by December, 1993. The City Water Department plans to begin construction of the water facility improvements on or before the week of October 4, 1993. While initially the distribution facility will serve General Motors, eventually it will probably be expanded to also serve Ford, Chrysler and other automobile manufacturers. Relevant agreements are presently being prepared by legal counsel and will, if at all possible, be presented at the October 4, 1993 Community Development Commission meeting. Staff will also prepare benefit resolutions for the October 4, 1993 or a subsequent Commission meeting as deemed necessary and appropriate, to assure timely and adequate availability of the funds requested. At its September 23, 1993 meeting, the Redevelopment Committee recommended that the Community Development Commission approve the subject contribution to this important project. --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- KJH:JMW:lag:autodist.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 10/04/1993 Agenda Item Number: _ DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMh_.f STAFF REPORT �✓ Santa Fe Automobile Distribution Facility September 24, 1993 Page Number -2- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attached for your reference is a copy of a letter from the Water Department setting forth details of the sewer project.

Steinhaus Agency Administrator Economic Development Agency 201 North "E" Street, 3rd Floor San Bernardino, CA 92401-1507 Dear Mr. Steinhaus: RE: WATER SERVICE - AUTOMOBILE DISTRIBUTION FACILITY As a result of the meeting held yesterday concerning Water Department cost to provide domestic water and fire service to the Automobile Distribution Facility being constructed by the Trans- development Corporation for the Santa Fe Railway Company on Rialto Avenue west of Muscott Street, it is my understanding that since this project is within a redevelopment area, the Economic Develop- ment Agency is prepared to share in the cost of providing water service. It is also my understanding that your contribution of $110,000 towards the $200,000 water facility improvement is contingent upon your Agency's final agreement that the project will create a substantial number of new jobs in the city, will create a need for local business support services, and open the specific location for additional commercial growth. I am certain that, based upon what we know of the project, the above eligibility criteria will be easily met. The transmission water main installation required to provide domestic/fire service for the aforementioned project consists of 2900' of 12" diameter ductile iron transmission main in Rialto Avenue from Mt. Vernon Avenue to approximately 700, west of Muscott Street, including a 2011 diameter water main conduit jacked under a .Santa Fe Railway crossing in Rialto Avenue. We have received a check today in the amount of $60,000 from Transdevelopment Corporation to be applied towards the $200,000 cost of the aforementioned transmission water main extension. Mr. Timothy C. Steinhaus September 17, 1993 Page 2 We also have a commitment from the General Electric Corporation to pay a $15, 000 fee deposit for the installation Capital 8" fire service for the temporary Santa Fe administrative located north Of Rialto Avenue east of the Automobile lation of an Facility.
