File Number: 25-278 <br />meet FEMA design requirements, remove FEMA designated floodplains, decrease flooding <br />risks, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and ultimately protect properties. Proposed critical <br />projects within the City of San Leandro include: <br />-Pump station rehabilitation <br />-Capacity enhancement at various culvert crossings and channels <br />-Tide gate reconstruction <br />-San Lorenzo Creek north and south levees upgrades and floodwalls <br />-Estudillo Canal improvements including reconstruction of channel walls and new floodwalls <br />According to the District, owners of residential properties in these zones currently pay about $25 <br />annually towards benefit assessments, and the existing benefit assessment has not increased <br />since 1993. The amount of the benefit assessment is based on the location within or outside of a <br />floodplain, parcel size, land use category (single-family residential, agricultural, industrial, etc.), <br />and impervious surface (based on land use category). Essentially, the amount is based on the <br />stormwater and flood protection benefit each property receives from the management of <br />stormwater and the proposed projects, and therefore each property will pay a different amount <br />that is estimated based on the amount of runoff each property contributes to the system . The <br />benefit assessment would then be adjusted annually by Consumer Price Index (CPI) <br />If the increased benefit assessment is approved, the City, which is currently exempt from paying <br />benefit assessments, would pay approximately $14,065.85 under Proposition 218 . <br />Environmental Review <br />This activity is not a project and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br />pursuant to section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it involves governmental fiscal <br />activities (approving funding mechanisms), which does not involve any commitment to any <br />specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />On December 9, 2024, the Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District gave a <br />presentation to City Council on the proposed revenue enhancement . <br />Financial Impacts <br />If the Assessment Ballot is approved, it will require Council appropriation of approximately <br />$14,066 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 from the Storm Water Fund . <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A: Draft Resolution <br />B: City of San Leandro Owned Parcels <br />PREPARED BY: Tiffany Curotto, Public Works Administrative Manager, Public Works <br />Department <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
