3. / SUBJECT: / SET HEARING FOR 3/24/10:
ACQUISITION OF 39.44 ACRES FOR INCLUSION IN THE ESCONDIDO CREEK PRESERVE (MICHAEL F. GARRISON AND SJIRK W. ZIJLSTRA) (DISTRICT: 5)
OVERVIEW:
The County has identified a 39.44-acre property known as the Mendocino Property in the unincorporated area south of San Marcos which is available to add to the County’s Escondido Creek Preserve. The Mendocino Property is located north and south of Elfin Forest Road (Thomas Guide: Page 1148, H-2). The fair market value of the Mendocino Property is $2,300,000, as determined by an independent appraiser.
The County is partnering with the San Diego Association of Governments through its TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program to purchase the land. This action requires two steps. On February 24, 2010, it is requested that the Board set a hearing for March 24, 2010 and provide public notice of the hearing to consider approving the purchase of the Mendocino property. If the Board takes the action recommended for February 24, 2010, then on March 24, 2010, after making necessary environmental findings, the Board is requested to approve the purchase of the Mendocino Property, identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 264-042-87, from Michael F. Garrison and Sjirk W. Zijlstra and related agreements with the San Diego Association of Governments. These actions are discretionary after consideration of public testimony. Approval of this request will also authorize a deposit to an interest-bearing trust fund for initial one-time stewardship costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $1,220,860 are included in the Fiscal Year 2009-10 Operational Plan for Capital Project 1000012 – Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP) Acquisition. If approved, this request will result in additional costs and revenue of $1,184,860 based on revenue from the SANDAG TransNet Environmental Mitigation Program (EMP) ($1,150,000) and the AUD Miscellaneous Trust Fund ($34,860), bringing total project costs to $2,405,720. The funds will be used as follows: $2,300,000 for the County’s property acquisition cost, plus $6,000 for title and escrow fees, $69,720 for initial stewardship and $30,000 for staff costs and administrative expenses to complete the transaction.
Total annual ongoing cost for land stewardship, monitoring and adaptive management of the entire 39.44 acres is $5,920. One-half of the ongoing cost for management, monitoring and adaptive management of 19.72 acres of land ($2,960) will be funded through an interest-bearing endowment in the amount of $98,700 to be established at the close of escrow and administered by SANDAG. The County will fund the balance of the annual on-going management, monitoring and adaptive management costs ($2,960) in perpetuity. There will also be an annual cost of $2,248 for Fixed Charge Assessments on the property, including fire protection, water standby and vector control charges. DPR will seek funding in the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Operational Plan budget process for these ongoing costs. Although continued acquisition of preserve land could eventually create the need for additional oversight staff, no additional staffing will be required as a result of this proposed purchase. There will be no change in current year net General Fund costs.
BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT:
This acquisition will decrease the time and costs related to transportation development projects associated with the TransNet program by providing a stream-lined process to acquire mitigation for the future projects.
