Engineer's Report FY 2009/10 City of San Leandro Heron Bay Maintenance Assessment District No. 96-3 B. Mitigation and Monitoring Mitigation of the Heron Bay project was accomplished by construction of wetlands, tidal wetlands, and upland or high ground for wildlife habitat. In order to verify that the habitat is healthy and in order to identify maintenance requirements a monitoring report is prepared annually. For Fiscal Year 2009/10 a monitoring report will be prepared by a consultant and funded by the District. C. District Reserve Fund A Maintenance Reserve Fund is maintained by the District in the amount of $300,000 to fund capital improvements and unexpected or emergency repairs. There have not been any withdrawals from the reserve fund this past fiscal year and none are anticipated for the coming fiscal year. D. Capital Improvement Projects Spartina The District has funded a project to remove anon-native species of the Spartina plant from the marshlands for the last three fiscal years (2006/07, 2007/08, and 2008/09). The cost of the work has been reimbursed by a grant managed by the State Coastal Conservancy. Staff estimates that two more years at a reduced level of effort will be required to complete the project. The District has contributed $150,000 to the project and has received approximately $80,000 in reimbursements to date. Additional information on the problem and work being done can be found on the web at http://www.spartina.org/ Levee Repair 2009/10 Approximately 3,100 linear feet of the levees that protect the marshland were damaged in the winter storms of 2005/06. A previous project has repaired 2,300 linear feet leaving 900 linear feet in need of repair. In Fiscal Year 2006/07 the District contributed $100,000 toward this levee repair project. Because the damage was caused by a severe winter storm the City has received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that will cover the cost of this work; the District should expect reimbursement after the work is completed. The levee repair project is scheduled to be constructed between September 2009 and March 2010. Levee Maintenance Fiscal Year 2014/15 Staff has set a target date for a levee maintenance project to be constructed in fall of 2014 and winter of 2015 with a preliminary budget of $200,000. The District currently has excess reserves due to the reimbursement of the emergency levee repairs that was received in from the City in Fiscal Year 2007/08. $100,000 of this excess will be placed into a levee repair account for this project this fiscal year. The District is also expecting a reimbursement in the next fiscal year for the 2009/10 levee repair project that may be used to fund the balance of the project. '~/) ~~QA~ I Page 5 PinlnGial SArviees
