Project Description
Construction of storm drains, storm inlets and other miscellaneous improvements at various locations in the city
to address localized chronic drainage problems. Identified locations are first analyzed to determine if minimum
measures can be taken to alleviate drainage issues. Then, determine if adding more drainage facilities that will
connect to adjacent regional drainage pipes and channels will solve the localized problem. For example, many
localized drainage problems lying in the Upper Llagas Creek watershed (and, thus, in the 100-year FEMA flood
plain) are unable to be resolved with additional drainage facilities due to the current limited capacity in the
Upper Llagas Creek channel. Areas of focus include the Burnett Avenue/Monterey Road intersection, the Llagas
Creek Drive/Shadowbrook Way/Stoney Creek Way neighborhood, and the Church Street and E. Dunne Avenue
area. Additional areas may also be considered.
The funding source for these localized drainage projects has been Fund 304, Non-AB 1600 drainage fees
collected from residential developers who had chosen to make monetary contribution to gain additional points
in the RDCS scoring criteria. That criteria is no longer available to developers for scoring points which means the
City will no longer have this revenue source to contribute to Fund 304. Funds will be programmed in the out
years spending down the fund balance to accomplish projects.
