Recommendation:
title
Adopt a resolution approving a Sanitary Sewer Service agreement with the Islander Mobile Home Park and authorizing the City Manager or designee to take all appropriate actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution.
body
Background:
The Islander Mobile Home Park (IMHP) is an 85-space mobile home park located at 20801 South Woodward Avenue in southwest Manteca. The IMHP owns and operates a private wastewater collection and treatment system that is permitted under the San Joaquin County (“County”) Health Department. The wastewater system is not working properly and there have been numerous violations including odor complaints and raw sewage releases over the years.
The IMHP does not have the technical or financial resources to upgrade the wastewater system and is seeking assistance from the California Water Resources Control Board (“State Water Board”). The State Water Board reached out to the City of Manteca (“City”) for a potential voluntary sewer consolidation project since the IMHP is within the City’s 2043 General Plan sphere of influence.
The IMHP sewer service agreement (Attachment 3) has been reviewed by City, IMHP, and State Water Board staff and is summarized as follows:
- State Water Board will pay for
o All work required to consolidate IMHP with the City’s sewer system
o All work required to abandon existing IMHP sewer system
- IMHP will
o Own and maintain a new lift station
o Support sewer system consolidation efforts
o Pay the City’s standard applicable wastewater rates
- City will
o Serve as the CEQA lead agency
o Receive 10% for project administration
o Receive $10M for needed WQCF improvements
o Receive $20M in an interest free loan to be used for WQCF upgrades
The IMHP would not be annexed into the City under this Agreement. If approved by Council, the agreement will be included in the Financial Package to be submitted to the State Water Board’s Division of Financial Assistance for funding approval.
Fiscal Impact:
If approved by the State Water Board, the project can proceed and the city will receive 10% of the project cost as an administration fee, $10M for needed WQCF improvements, and access to a $20M interest-free loan for additional WQCF upgrades. The IMHP will pay the standard wastewater rates approved by Council.
