HEAD /^f^ CITYATTY. $>2< CITY MGR. / // \f RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2006-286 appropriating additional funds in the amount of $1,060,000 to continue 2005 winter storms emergency repairs. ITEM EXPLANATION: On March 15, 2005, the City Council adopted a Declaration of a Local Emergency recommended by the City Manager due to the torrential rain and earth movement beginning January 7, 2005. The areas affected by storm damage include the slope adjacent to La Costa Avenue at the Marbella condominium project and the slope off of Rancho Santa Fe Road at Agua Dulce Court. The work at the Marbella project is substantially completed. However, work continues at Agua Dulce Court to finish the project. Additional appropriations are needed to complete soil work and landscaping/construction of a trail required at the Agua Dulce project. This request for additional appropriation is based on recently revised estimates. The additional costs incurred at Agua Dulce are a result of unforeseen site conditions that required additional shoring, design services, and excavation not anticipated in the estimates previously prepared. These additional costs are within the scope of work expected to be eligible for reimbursement from FHWA. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Emergency projects are statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15269.

It is estimated that the total cost to complete all the storm work will be approximately $9.243 million. Staff is requesting an additional General Fund appropriation of $1,060,000 for Agua Dulce to complete soil work and trail restoration and landscaping. Federal and State Reimbursements: To date, preliminary approval for reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and State reimbursements from the Office of Emergency Services (OES) total $7.525 million. A request to FHWA is in process to request reimbursement for the additional $1,060,000 in costs for the Agua Dulce project. If approval is given, the total expected reimbursement would be approximately $8.585 million. To date, the actual funding received from FEMA/OES is $215,045 for Citywide cleanup. No funds have been received from FHWA yet. It should be noted that the amounts indicated for reimbursement depend on actual expenditures and approval from FEMA and/or FHWA. If the actual expenditures are less, or the amounts approved by these agencies are less than expected, the actual reimbursement will be less than anticipated. Staff will present to the City Council a full accounting of all costs including all labor, equipment, material, and contract services when all work is completed. Staff recommends allocating funds from the Council's Contingency Account. The attached resolution reflects this option. Currently, there is approximately $2 million available in the Council's Contingency Account. EXHIBITS: 1.
