Box 2340 Dublin,CA 94566 (415) 829-3543 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: City Manager DATE: May 19, 1982 SUBJECT: County Flood Control District Fees for Development Review The Alameda County Flood Control District has historically provided plan check review for land development projects which impact flood control and drainage facilities. In order to recover the County's cost of providing these plan review services, the County implemented a schedule of fees for which the developer pays an amount not to exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service. This schedule of fees was amended by the Board of } Supervisors on May 11 , 1982 (see attached). If the City Council wishes to have the County Flood Control District continue to review land development projects which impact drainage facilities, it is necessary to adopt the attached resolution. Recommendation It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the resolution concurring with the program of the Alameda County Flood Control District and Water Conservation District for the following reasons: 1 . The County's program commences on June 1 , 1982 and the City would be unable to make other arrangements prior to that date. 2. The City will not be subject to any expense from services provided. 3. The developer will pay no more than it costs to actually perform the review. 4. The District is probably best equipped to review projects that may impact facilities which it maintains and operates. r / RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN CONCURRING WITH THE PROGRAM OF THE ALAMEDA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO CHARGE FEES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED IN THE INCORPORATED AREAS OF ALAMEDA COUNTY WHEREAS, by authority of the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Act and by Resolution Number 12936 of the Board of Supervisors of said District, the District is empowered to charge fees for services performed in review of land development plans proposed by private developers in the incorporated areas of Alameda County, those services being the review of reports, maps and plans to assure provision for proper flood control and drainage, to determine that suitable methods will be provided for erosion and sedimentation control , and to oversee other matters related to flood control and drainage; and WHEREAS, the District now plans to commence charging fees to cover its costs for providing said services; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that this City Council agrees to support the District's program by continuing to refer appropriate land development plans to the District for review and by indicating to each applicant that the District may charge a fee for its review services. Further, that the City Council reserves the right at any time to make other arrangements and charge its own fees for the review of land development plans, which impact flood control and drainage facilities.

Ambrose City Manager City of Dublin P.O. Box 2340 Dublin, CA 94566 Dear Mr. Ambrose: SUBJECT: CHARGING FEES FOR FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT SERVICES IN INCORPORATED AREAS We met recently with members of your Public Works and Planning Departments to discuss our new fee collection program. This program will enable us to recover costs for services provided in the incorporated areas of the County, and will commence about June 1, 1982. Our meetings have been held with those cities that for some years have been sending us plans to review for land development projects. As you know, we review proposed flood control and drainage facilities, erosion and sedimentation control measures, and related work. This effort is mainly directed to projects which could have a significant effect on a natural watercourse or that would drain into a District facility. At the meetings we distributed copies of the County resolution which authorizes this program, the current fee schedule and a proposed Model Resolution which cities could adopt to indicate their support. We now would like to substitute a new Model Resolution for the one we gave you. The new resolution is simpler and has no attached fee schedule. Of course, whether a city adopts a resolution in concurrence with our program is optional . From the meetings we have held, it appears that staff personnel of some cities will propose that their city council adopt a resolution of concurrence, while others will advise their city council of this program. In all cases, it is apparent that the cities will continue to select proposed land development plans for our review and inform applicants that a fee is required for requested services. Where a city elects to do its own review for a project which includes drainage facilities, it is important that a copy of the development plans be sent to us for our records. May 5, 1982 Page 2 A copy of the new suggested Model Resolution is enclosed. We will send letters out shortly to many developers, builders, architects and engineers to apprise them of this program. If you have any questions, please call Harold Franke, Staff Engineer, at 881-6474, or Angelo Isquierdo, Chief, Inter-Agency Coordination, at 881-6469. Sincerely yours, PAUL E.
