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

Based upon this information, the homeowners association was able to gather let-
ottern
tersfrau 22 property owners in the area requesting that a specific engineering
stud be conducted to determine a more precise cost of these .
y p unprovents The
later cost estimate would be bused upon a review of needs for blasting,
drainage, and realignment of curves.

Following the receipt of the homeowners petition, the Engineering Division deve-
loped a. preliminary design and cost estimate.

the City pay for the grading and engineering costs as discussed earlier which
would total approximately $90,000. However, the homeowners should commit to

Preliminary discussions have been held with the homeowners regarding how the,
City loan programwould be structured, however, nothing has been resolved
pending the City Councils review of this matter.
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.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the Council
City of Poway
13325 Civic Center Drive
Poway, CA 92064
Dear Mayor and Members of the Council;
Your support is urgently needed on a critical issue of local control
affecting cities throughout the counties of San Diego and Los Angeles.
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.
