Chapter 12.92 (1991-021 Finance: Council Notes: 75-0262 Agenda Item No /1) o 0 RECOMMENDED MOTION Continued: of Chapter 12.92 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, on the following parcels: 266-221-05, 06, 07, & 12, 266-222-07, 266-223-09, & 11, 268-351-11, 272-201-52, 272-212-21, 22, & 69, 285-162-14, 155-101-03, 04, & 14, 155-111-04, & 05, 155-142-17, 155- 151-08, & 20, 155-183-30, and 145-151-21; that assessments in excess of $50.00 be collected in up to 3 annual installments; that interest at 7% be applied on unpaid balances; and that incidental costs be financed by the City. 9-03-91 STAFF REPORT Authorization was granted in 1989 to proceed with about 53 parcels. These parcels were divided into 7 groups. Significant protests were received from the fourth group. This program was placed on hold while a program was worked out to alleviate the cost to property owners. A program was developed by the Economic Development Agency to finance 50% of the cost from bond proceeds, for those parcels for which a finding of mutual benefit can be made. The EDA has determined that a finding of mutual benefit could be made on 12 of these parcels. Authorization to proceed with these 12 parcels was granted at the Council meeting of 9-3-91. The total estimated cost for installing necessary fill-in street improvements adjacent to the remaining 23 parcels is $125,216. Bond proceeds may not be used, since a finding of mutual benefit cannot be made. Therefore, another source of funds will need to be identified to finance 1/2 of the cost, for those parcels whose owners agree to participate in the program. It is recommended that the transfer of $62,608, from Account No. 129-000-30405, "Unappropriated Reserve", to Account No. 251-684-53925, "Fill-in Street Improvements - Chapter 12.92 (1991-02), be approved, in order to provide funding for the City's 1/2 share of the cost. The Tippecanoe Avenue Project was initiated by the County, and turned over to the City upon annexation. Extensive right-of-way acquisitions will be re- quired, which will delay progress on this project. The recommended transfer will, therefore, not hold up construction on this project. Property owners will be notified that the City will finance 1/2 of the cost if they agree to participate in this pro- gram wi thin the specified time frame. A period of sixty days will be allowed for owners to have the improvements installed. If work has not been commenced within this 60-day period, the City will proceed to have the improvements installed by contract or City forces. Approval was granted in 1984 for incidental costs to be financed by the City on a similar project. This practice has been followed on all subsequent proj ects, and is proposed for this project. Chapter 27 allows collection of 7% interest on the unpaid balances of the assessments. We are proposing that interest be collected. Resolution No. 91-137, adopted on 4-15-91, stipulates that the City will finance 50% of the cost for each parcel for which owner agrees within a specified time frame to participate. OWners willing to participate will need to fill out an applica- tion form. An amount of $100,000.00 was approved on 5-21-91 from 9-3-91 75-0264 CITY QF SAN BERN,ooINO - REQUEST FO COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Page 2 of 2 the Tax Allocation Bond Proceeds Beautification Fund to finance 50% of the costs for installation of these public improvements. For those parcels whose owners decline to participate, the entire cost will be assessed under these proceedings. The Development Department has developed a program to finance the property owners' 50% share, for those owner occupants of single family residences with low to moderate incomes. This program will be financed with CDBG Funds. We recommend proceedings, and the share be approved. authorization be transfer of funds granted to initiate to finance the City 's 9-3-91 ,,,,_n?1:.4
