SUBJECT: PublIC HearIng on ResurfacIng Ozone Place North between
LIncoln Boulevard and HIghland Avenue
IntroductIon
ThIS report requests the CIty CouncIl to hold a publiC hearIng or
the establIshment of an assessment dIstrIct for the resurfacing
of Ozone Place North between LIncoln Boulevard and HIghland
Avenue.
Background
In March, 1985 staff was approached by resIdents regardIng Ozone
Place North, the alley between Ozone Street and Navy Street from
LIncoln
Boul ev ard
and
HIghland
Avenue,
WhICh
IS
badly
deterIorated and IS In constant need of repaIr.
ReSIdents whose
property IS adjacent to thIS alley frequently complaIned of
potholes and draInage problems and the complaInts have becofTIe
more frequent SInce a recent gas company project In the alley.
The resIdents have asked for resurfacIng Improvements to the
alley. ThIS portIon of the CIty IS very level and there IS very
lItle slope In the alley from block to block.
ThIS has
contributed to standIng water and deterIoratIon of the pavement.
On Apr 11 26, 1985, staff sent a let tel (Attachment 1) to the
resIdents and property owners of Navy and Ozone Streets whose
?-c:.
JUt 2 ~ 19ft
- , -
. .
~rope~ty IS adJacent to the alley. The letter explaIned optIons
regardIng ImprovIng the alley:
1) The alley can be resurfaced with 1" to 1-1/2"
thIckness of asphalt at a cost of about $10,000.
The cost per property owner WIll be approxImately
$100.00.
The resurfacIng wIll have a lIfe of
approx Imately 10 years, but WIll not prov Ide for
draInage as well as If reconstructIon IS done. It
may result In some puddles remaInIng but wIll of
course be much better than the eXIstIng.
2) The alley can be reconstructed WIth 3" of asphalt
on 6" cru shed rock and WI th a concrete gu t t er In
the cent er.
ThIS wIll cost approxImately $35,000
and wll1 have a 11 fe of 25+ years.
The draInage
problem would be elIminated. The approXImate cost
per property owner would be $350.00.
A stamped post card (Attachment 2) was enclosed WIth the letter
and staff asked that the resIdents and property owners return the
card
IndIcatIng
theIr
preference
of
alley
Improvement.
Approximately 63% of the property owners responded VIa post card.
Of those who responded, approxImately 59% were In favor of
resurfacIng and 30% were In favor of reconstructIon.
On May 24, 1985, staff dIstrIbuted notIces of a neIghborhood
meetIng (Attachment 3) to be held on May 30, 1985, to the
resIdents on Navy and Ozone streets whose properties border the
alley. NotIces were sent by mall to off-SIte property owners.
Staff met WIth the neIghbors to see If a concensus could be
reached as to WhICh type of Improvement should be recommended to
- 2 -
. .
the C~ty Councll. After dlscussing the proJect, the reSIdents
at the meeting who orIginally voted for reconstructIng the alley
agreed to go wIth the majOrIty who favored resurfacing, the lower
cost method.
The proposed method of assessment was also discussed.
Staff
Informed the resIdents that the Clty has requlred partlclpatIon
f~om the Southern CalIfornIa Gas Company In the amount of
$3,500.00 SInce their recent excavatIons and patchIng have caused
a portIon of the problems In thIS alley.
The remaInder of the
cost IS proposed to be assessed to the property owners.
Staff
lnformed the resldents of the avallabI1Ity of lOW-Income
assIstance.
For approxImately the last forty years, the Clty'S pollCY
regardIng al1ey resurfacIng has been to assess the property
owners, whose propert1es are adjacent to the alley, for 100% of
the cost of resurfac1ng. To Implement thIS POllCY an assessment
dlstrlct 1S formed, CIty staff deslgns and blds the proJect, and
the cost of the resurfacing IS returned to the General Fund by
assessments to the property owners.
The reasons for assessing property owners for the full cost of
resurfaCIng an alley are:
1) Alleys are cons1dered secondary access roads (streets
are pr1mary access);
2) The C1 ty has very 11mI ted funds for resurfaCIng and IS
on a 30 year cycle for street resurfaCIng ~
If alleys
were Included, thIS frequency would increase to about 40
to 50 years.
- 3 -
3)
Gas Tax_ndS cannot be used for 4tey resurfaCing or
reco~structlon; a~d
4)
Only
Fund
not
about 70% of the CIty has alleys and If General
monies are expended, a portIon of resldents would
benefIt from the CIty'S General Fund expendIture.
There have been two exceptIons to thIS pollcy: 1) CommunIty
Development Block Grant funds were used to pay for the cost of
resurfaclt-:!g In one CDBG-ellglble area J (Ozone Place 15 rwt CDBG
elIgIble) and 2) sewer funds were used to resurface ar:: alley
where a backfilling and resurfaCIng Job done by the Clty'S
contractor falled several years after InstallIng the sewer.
On June 25,1985, the CIty CouncIl adopted ResolutIon No. 7041
(CCS) settIng a publIC hearIng for July 23,1985, to hear any
protests concernIng the resurfaCIng of Ozone Place North between
Llncolu Boul ev ard and HI gh 1 and Avenue. Not IC es of the publIC
hearIng were maIled to property owners and posted on affected
properties July 12, 1985, In accordance WIth State Law.
~udget/FInanclal Impact
The estImated project cost IS $10,000. In accordance WIth
standard engIneering pract Ice, contIngencIes In the amount of
$2,000 should also be encumbered. The Southern Call forn 1 a Gas
Company contrIbuted $3,500 WhICh was receIved on ~1arch 26,1985,
and depos 1 ted in Account No. 01-906-140-000-000. The remaInder
of the cost (approxImately $8,500) WIll be recovered by
assessments. Cl ty CounCIl approprIated funds In the amount of
$12,000 at Account Number 01-770-421-000-919 on June 25, 1985 to
cover the cost of the project plus continger.cles. Assessmer>t
revenue WIll be recorded In Revenue Account No.

.
.
01-906-124-000-000, and FY1985-86 revenue estImate WIll be
Increased by $8,500 In thIS account. Any unpaid assessments wIll
be placed on the property owner's 1987 property tax bIll.
RecommendatIon

1. Open the publIC hearIng;
2. Close the publIC hearIng and acknowledge any protests;
