RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 24-4265 Creating Capital Improvement Project DF-0020; Mesa Court Drainage Benefit District Final Storm Drain Improvements
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
At the June 6, 1989, Town Council meeting, Council approved Resolution 770 establishing the Mesa Court Drainage Benefit District. The benefit district was intended to collect fees from the Mesa Court property developers to correct and improve the storm drainage in the development zone. To cover the necessary storm drain infrastructure there were +/- 90 new lots assessed at $2,055 per primary unit and $525 per second unit for the span of +/- 10-years that it took for the area to be developed.
Now that the benefit district is completely developed, there remains a balance of $50,521 in the Mesa Court Benefit District Fund of which staff would like to expend the remaining fund balance and terminate the fee. With the storm drain infrastructure approaching 25-years old and to put the funds to the intended use, this project will hire a contractor to clean, video inspect, perform maintenance, and exact repairs on the storm drain, extending its useful life.
Staff is requesting council approve the creation of this project to expend the Mesa Court Drainage Benefit District Fund. Once spent staff would return to Town Council with a proposed action to terminate the Benefit District.
