Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING CITY OF MANTECA’S APPOINTMENT OF STEVE DEBRUM AS A PUBLIC MEMBER TO THE SAN JOAQUIN AREA FLOOD CONTROL AGENCY BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AS A PUBLIC MEMBER TO THE ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING DISTRICT PUBLIC FINANCING AUTHORITY Senate Bill 5 (SB5), and related companion bills, created a new requirement for certain land use decisions made by cities and counties in the California Central Valley; and Prior to approving discretionary land use decisions for non-residential projects, and prior to approving ministerial land use decisions (building permits) for new residential buildings in areas that don’t have an Urban Level of Flood Protection (ULOP), land use agencies are required to make findings related to the provision of 200-year ULOP; and As part of the region’s efforts to comply with this requirement the cities of Lathrop, Manteca, and Stockton made findings of Adequate Progress toward the provision of 200-year ULOP and have annually validated these findings based on Annual Reports of Adequate Progress (Annual Reports) submitted to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB); and Since 2018, the Annual Reports have been approved and submitted to the CVFPB by the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency (SJAFCA) after the cities of Lathrop and Manteca became members of SJAFCA; and The Annual Reports describe the financing plan and the identified funding mechanisms that are being utilized to fund and implement the improvements necessary for ULOP; the new funding mechanisms being implemented to generate the necessary funding include:
A Regional Development Impact Fee Program, currently in place; A new Overlay Assessment District (OAD) proposed to overlay the existing RD 17 Assessment District; The Mossdale Tract Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD); and The City Council supported the implementation of the Mossdale Tract ULOP Program and associated funding mechanisms by supporting the amendment of the SJAFCA Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement in late 2017 and then supporting the implementation of the Regional Development Impact Fee in 2018; and In February 2022, the City Council adopted a Resolution of Intention to participate in the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (“EIFD”) and associated Public Financing Authority (“PFA”) established to finance the construction and/or acquisition of capital improvements planned to provide an Urban Level of Flood Protection for the Mossdale Tract; and In June 2022, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the Mossdale Tract Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District Infrastructure Financing Plan; and The Mossdale Tract Area EIFD has four (4) affected taxing entities , the City of Lathrop, the City of Manteca, the City of Stockton, and San Joaquin County (“Affected Taxing Entities”); thus, the PFA governing body consists of eight (8) members from the respective Affected Taxing Entities and two (2) public members, for a total of ten (10) members; the initial selection of the public membership was completed by the City of Lathrop as part of its initial action; and For administrative efficiency and consistent oversight of the Mossdale Tract ULOP program, staff supported SJAFCA’s recommendation to have PFA membership overlap as much as possible with the SJAFCA Board of Directors membership; and The existing City of Manteca appointed SJAFCA Board Members were appointed to the PFA; and Because SJAFCA’s Board of Directors has one public member, one of the two public members of the PFA selected by Lathrop was Mike Morowit, at that time a former City of Manteca Councilmember, who then occupied the public member position on the SJAFCA Board; the other public member selected by the City of Lathrop was Mr. Steve Dresser, a former Lathrop City Councilmember and former SJAFCA Board Member; and With the successful election of Mr. Morowit to the Manteca City Council in November 2022, Mr. Morowit had to resign from the public member position on the SJAFCA Board and related PFA; and Proceeding in alphabetical order, with Lathrop appointing Mr. Morowit as the first public member to the SJAFCA Board and the PFA, the appointment of the next public board member (Mr. Morowit’s replacement) falls to the City of Manteca; and Following a public recruitment process, followed by in-person interviews, the most qualified candidate was determined to be Steve DeBrum; Mr. DeBrum’s term will be for two years after all the SJAFCA member agencies for the SJAFCA Board and the other Affected Taxing Entities for the PFA have completed their concurrence with Manteca's appointment of Mr. DeBrum; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council hereby finds that the facts set forth in the recitals to this Resolution are true and correct and establish the factual basis for the City Council’s adoption of this Resolution.
The City Council hereby accepts the City of Manteca’s appointment of Steve DeBrum as a public member to the San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency Board of Directors, subject to confirmation by the other SJAFCA member agencies, for a period of two years after all the member agencies have completed their concurrence with Manteca's appointment of Mr. DeBrum.
The City Council hereby accepts the City of Manteca’s appointment of Steve DeBrum as a public member to the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District Public Financing Authority, subject to confirmation by the other Affected Taxing Entities, for a period of two years after all the Affected Taxing Entities have completed their concurrence with Manteca's appointment of Mr. DeBrum.
This Resolution shall take effect from and after its adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED August 22, 2023 .
