Honorable Board of Supervisors

Neil R. Cullen, Director of Public Works

SUBJECT:

Resolution Accepting Offer of Dedication for Construction of a Sewer Main Extension in the Emerald Lake Heights Sewer Maintenance District - Redwood City Area

 

Recommendation

Adopt a resolution accepting a sewer main extension constructed by Emerald Estates Land Company, a California Corporation (Developers) which will allow sewer service to property owners on Emerald Lake Court in the Emerald Lake Heights Sewer Maintenance District (District).

 

Key Facts

1.

Your Board is the Governing Board of the District and has the authority to accept new facilities for operation and maintenance.

 

2.

The Developers have completed a sewer main extension of approximately 20 linear feet and have offered to dedicate the extension to the District for operation and maintenance.

 

3.

The facilities were constructed within public right-of-way in the vicinity of 1055 Wilmington Way to District Standards and we believe they should be accepted as District facilities.

 

Discussion

The Developers constructed the sewer main in accordance with plans reviewed and approved by the staff.

 

Vision Alignment

We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment to "ensure basic health and safety for all;" and Goal Number 7, "maintain and enhance the public safety of all residents and visitors" as the sewer main once accepted can be used in providing sewer service to other properties in the area.

 

Fiscal Impact

The sewer main extension was constructed totally at Developer's own cost and expense. The cost of operation and maintenance of the new facilities will be a District expense and will be funded through sewer service charges levied on properties within the District. There is no impact on the General Fund.

 

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel and the Developer has executed the Offer of Dedication.
