Bowersox, City Mann INITIATED BY John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manager Alan Archibald, Director of Public Services i DATE: June 12, 1986 SUBJECT:City Loan Program/Old Coach Improvements x ABSTRACT A The residents of the Old Coach Road area have petitioned the City to authorize there to participate in the improvement of Old Coach Road through the City °s loan program. BACKGROUND s OldCoachRoad is an unimproved dirt road of approximately 2 miles in length that was accepted into the County maintained road system several years prior to the incorporation of the City. Since incorporation, the City has had several meetings with members of the Old Coach Hameowners Association regarding the quality of the maintenance of the road. Discussions have also been held regarding various methods to construct improvements to the road. Although the homeowners have been informed that the road would be required to be improved if L development occurs in the area, and that the road improvements could be made by the Redevelopment Agency, they recognize that neither is likely to occur in the near future. As a result, discussions with the homeowners association led to having the road improvements constructed through the City's loan program. Earlier this year preliminary meetings were held with the homeowners' representatives and they Were given a rough engineering estimate of $150,000 to improve the road to rural 1 road standards based upon a 241 roadway constructed of 2 inches of asphalt on native base. It was indicated to the hmneowners that if they were able to garner enough support from the residents that the City staff would recommend that the City pay for the grading and engineering costs of approximately $50,000 and that the road construction which was estimated to cost approximately $100,000 be financed by the City loan programa ACTION: f.

However, they indicated that the City should pay the improvement costs in excess Of' $100,000.

City Loan Pr aq The financial plan provides a total of $50,000 to be used to provide low t interest loans to citizens for street related improvements. The concept of the loan program is to provide a source of financing neighborhood street improve- ments at a rate of approximately one half of the market rate to induce citizens to improve their neighborhoods. The loan would create an encumbrance on the property that would be paid off over the term of the loan or upon transfer of property. If the City Council were to approve this project in concept, the specific terms of the loan would be worked out with the homeowners and a loan agreement would be developed which would be approved by the City Council at a later date. At that time an addi- tional appropriation would have to be made to fund the total amount to be loaned x for this project. RBOOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council review this project and authorize City participation in the project for the grading, blasting, and engineering work required to complete the necessary improvements.

Currentlybefore the State Legislature is SB 2543 (Presley) which allo- cates the Proposition 52 state bond funding for jail construction. This bill was recently amended with special legislation for San Diego and Los Angeles Counties to require city council approval for all new county jail projects within their jurisdictions. At the core of these amendments is the issue of local control and whether a -county should have totally unrestricted powers in siting jail facilities' within incorporated cities, despite strong opposition from those jurisdic- tions. The City of Santee is currently facing a county jail facility proposal for the Santee Town Center, the City's major redevelopment area project. The type of facility being proposed would resemble a concentration camp in design --with 19 prefabricated metal barracks, guard towers, and barren unlandscaped grounds encircled by 12 -foot chain-link fences topped with spiraling strands of barbed wire. This jail proposal is also located within one-third mile of an elementary school and within one mile of five other schools. Just last fall, the City of Santee issued a $6.4 million bond on this redevelopment project. Now, because of the location of this proposed county jail facility, the very economic future of the City is at risk. The purpose of these amendments would be to protect municipalities from ? the serious socio-economic impacts of county jail facilities inappropri- ately sited within their jurisdictions, without regard to city efforts t to revitalize their communities. s: 10765 Woodside Avenue 9 Santee, California 92071-3198.
