TO: City Council FROM: Chris Zapata City Manager BY: Uchenna Udemezue Engineering &Transportation Director FINANCE REVIEW: David Baum Finance Director TITLE: Staff Report for a Resolution of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District Approving the Annual Report of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District(GHAD)for Fiscal Year 2013-14 SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS This report is an update on the activities of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District(GHAD) for Fiscal Year 2013-14. Staff recommends approval of the annual report of the GHAD for Fiscal Year 2013-14. BACKGROUND Following the Hillside Drive slide of 1998, the City Council, by Resolution No. 2000-172, approved the formation of the GHAD and appointed itself to act as the Board of Directors. The GHAD served as an entity for the repair to the Hillside Drive landslide using grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and California Office of Emergency Services (OES). No assessment on property owners was proposed. A$1.5 million dollar project was completed by the GHAD that stabilized the slope on Hillside Drive. The project installed a drainage system incorporating concrete v-ditches, storm lines and structures to collect and discharge subsurface and surface runoff from the hillside to the City's storm drain system. The system is maintained and monitored by Public Works staff. Analysis Public Works staff has completed only minor maintenance work on GHAD facilities during this past fiscal year. Recent site investigation by staff did not indicate any signs of slope movement. It is anticipated that there will be no major work at the site during this upcoming fiscal year.
