AGENDA REPORT
CONSENT CALENDAR City Manager Approval
L i
Item to be presented by: T. Brad Therrien
DATE: April 13, 1999
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS OF DEDICATION AND
EASEMENTS FOR PASEO BRIDGES IN THE CITY OF
SANTA CLARITA
DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council, on behalf of the public, accept the Offers of Dedication for 24 paseo
bridges and bridge abutments. Authorize the City Clerk to sign the Certificates of
Acceptance for 24 easements for the paseo bridges, and direct the recordation of
documents. Authorize the City Engineer and City Clerk to process the documents
for the remaining two bridges and any subsequent bridges once the documents have
been signed by the owners.
BACKGROUND
As part of the paseo system in the Valencia area of the City, developers have
constructed a number of paseo bridges on parcels of land now owned by various
homeowners' associations. These association parcels include the adjacent paseos
and bridge abutments, which extend into the City's right-of-way.
Following the Northridge earthquake, Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) funds were requested to repair earthquake damage to the bridges. As
federal regulations severely restrict the use of certain funds on "private" property,
FEMA requested that the City provide proof of ownership as a prerequisite to
funding approval. Since no official transferring document existed, there was no
official proof of transfer of ownership to the City.
Because of this and the fact that HOAs do not typically deal with structures in the
public right-of-way, it is in the public's best interest that the bridges be officially
transferred to the City. The transfer will enable the City to provide a regular
inspection and maintenance program and to fund the maintenance through the
existing assessment districts to which the bridges belong. The underlying fee
owners will dedicate the property to the City in the form of an easement for the
bridges and associated abutments.

ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS OF DEDICATION AND EASEMENTS
FOR PASEO BRIDGES IN THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA
April 13, 1999 — Page 2
A total of 28 bridges will need to be transferred. Documents for 24 of the bridges
have been executed and are recommended for immediate transfer. Two additional
bridges require a lengthy title process and may be transferred upon final execution
of the documents. These bridges will remain the responsibility of the underlying fee
owner until the transfer takes place. The remaining two bridges are still under
construction. These documents will be presented to the Council for acceptance at a
future date.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Do not accept the Offers of Dedication for the 24 paseo bridges and bridge
abutments. However, consequences include non -eligibility for federal aid (FEMA)
for damage caused by acts of God, and no control over a regular inspection and
maintenance program.
2. Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no additional fiscal impacts to the City. The City's existing annual
contribution to the paseo bridge fund is 15 percent, amounting to a contribution of
$8,400. The District's annual portion totals $47,600.
