TUSTIN ASSESS 04-15-85NEW BUSINESS TO: FROM: SUBJECT: WILLIAM HUSTON, CITY MANAGER BOB LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER EAST TUSTIN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT RECOMMENDATION: Staff's recommendation will be presented at the City Council meeting of April 15, 1985 after the City Attorney's office has completed their review of the subject petition. BACKGROUND: The Irvine Company (T.I.C.) is filing a petition to initiate an Assessment District on'a portion of the East Tustin area. This proposed Assessment District covers an area generally bounded by Irvine Blvd. on the north, Myford Road on the east, the Santa Ana Freeway on the south and Browning Avenue on the west except for the area known as Ranchwood Homes (Tract No. 6621). A copy of this petition and the transmittal correspondence is attached for information. This petition was filed by T.I.C. on Wednesday, April 8, 1985, which has resulted in an insufficient time frame to furnish the City Council with all of the required data and recommendations. However, due to the time constraints of establishing this Assessment District as they relate to commencing construction on certain Auto Center improvements along Laguna Road and Jamboree Road, staff is scheduling this item for the upcoming City Council agenda. A follow-up report will be available at that time from the City Attorney's office and staff. DISCUSSION: The city responsibilities, in the formation of this district, will include the following: ° Initial formation of the district per the requirements Division 10 and 12 of the Streets and Highways Code. Preparation of contract construction drawings for all proposed improvement~ within the district. Sale of bonds. ° Contract administration of all construction contracts. Annual and on-going administrative duties of the district for the duration of the Assessment District. EAST TUSTIN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT APRIL 10, 1985 PAGE 2 It is intended that the city would utilize the consultant services of an Assessment District Engineer, Attorney and Bond Counsel. The cost for these services would be directly chargeable to the Assessment District. This Assessment District will only affect the current and future property owners within the proposed area of assessment. It will not financially impact any city residents outside the proposed assessment area. It is intended to schedule a City Council workshop to provide additional detailed information on the district and to respond to any additional questions that may arise. The City Attorney's office is currently reviewing this petition and will be responding with additional information, as needed, at the April 15th Council meeting prior to any Council action of accepting or rejecting this petition. L~dende6ker - Director of Public Works/City Engineer BL:jr Attachment April 8, 1985 Tustin City Council 300 Centennial Way Tustin, CA 92680 SUBJECT: E~$t Tust.~9 Assessment District Dear Mayor Greinke and Members of the Council: APR 0 9 985 TUSTINay DEPT. The petition requesting formation of an assessment district by the City of Tustin to finance public improvements required for the development of the auto center and residential housing in the East Tustin area is enclosed. The scope of ~ork includes improvements to existing and new arterial highways in East Tustin, a fair share contribution to funding the important Jamboree Road interchange construction, roadway and related i~p. rovements, as well as construction of the E1 M~dena Channel and other flood control facilities. All of the property subject to the assessment district is presently o~ned by The Irvine Company. The formation of the assessment district will permit the construction of major road improvements, flood control facilities and extension of utilities in the East Tustin area which will benefit the residents of the City of Tustin. In addition, the formation of the district will permit us to provide some of these needed facilities well in advance of the time they ~ould otherwise be developed. The creation of the district is intended to supplement and not preclude other public funding sources for transportation, flood control, and related improvements, including City contributions for Laguna Road. We are prepared to advance funds to the City, to offset costs incurred by the City prior to the district's formation and bond sale. However, the execution of a formal Reimbursement Agreement will be necessary, with Council consent, to guarantee repayment of our advance of funds. Design of the Laguna Road and Jamboree Road improvements is near completion. In order to meet the schedule for development of the Auto Center, the construction contract for these road improvements should be awarded by June 3, 1985. As noted above, we will advance the necessary funds in order for this work to be accomplished as a City-awarded public works construction contract. In conjunction with the solicitation of bids for any public ~orks contract, we request the option be retained for our Company to manage the work, as provided for in Public Contracts Code Section 20485. 550 Newport Center Drive, P.O. Box I, Newport Beach, California 92658-8904 · (714) 720-2000 We recognize that certain improvements, including the Jamboree Interchange and E1 Hodena Channel are possibly more "regional" in nature, and may require additional flexibility in allocating costs on the basis of benefits received. Your help in considering this ~atter with us in the future, including the possibility of using a ~fello-Roos financing for these special improvements, will be most appreciated. We have previously reviewed the general scope and procedures involvln$ the district with the City Manager and staff. Additionally, we are available to meet with you and City staff at your convenience to review in further detail the scope of proposed improvements and respond to any questions you may have. We appreciate your consideration of the enc lo,ed petition.
