TO: Board of Directors, LACOSAN
FROM: Jan Coppinger, Administrator
DATE: March 24, 2017
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing and Designating Special District’s Administrator, or her Designee, to sign and submit funding Agreement Application and any Amendments thereto for Funding under the State Water Resources Control Board for Construction of a Public Sewer System for the Anderson Springs Community in the amount of $7,436,000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The community of Anderson Springs surrounds Anderson Creek, a small natural stream that flows into Putah Creek. In 1990, an engineering report found that Anderson Springs was located in a poorly suited area for on-site sewage disposal because of small lot size and shallow, course soil conditions.
In September 2015, 198 of the 212 homes in the Anderson Springs Community burned in the Valley Fire. Most of these homes cannot be rebuilt under current building and set back codes without a sewer system. Various agencies and individuals have been working together to fund and construct a sewer system. The State Water Resources Control Board granted a $564,000 Planning Grant for Engineering, Design and Survey work. That work is nearing completion and we are ready to apply for construction funding. The estimated cost of the sewer system is $10,545,895.00
We are applying for a grant of $7,436,000.00 from the State Water Resources Control Board, $1,500,000 from Housing and Community development and $983,395 from USDA.
