TITLE:
Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-08:
An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Flagstaff authorizing the acquisition of real property interests for the Schultz Creek Stabilization Project and the Highway 180 Culvert Project; providing for delegation of authority, severability, repeal of conflicting ordinances, authority for clerical corrections, and establishing an effective date
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) Read Ordinance No. 2023-08 by title only for the final time
2) City Clerk reads Ordinance No. 2023-08 by title only (if approved above)
3) Adopt Ordinance No. 2023-08
Executive Summary:
Expanding the Schultz Creek culvert at Highway 180 has been identified as an urgent flood mitigation project to deliver, in light of the 2022 Pipeline Fire and subsequent flooding. The project currently requires drainage easements from the Museum of Northern Arizona on the east side of Highway 180 and Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church on the West side of Highway 180. This ordinance authorizes all necessary private property acquisitions identified within the 30% design plan set required for the Highway 180 Culvert Project
Additionally, through an emergency watershed protection grant, a channel stabilization project on Schultz Creek requires a temporary construction easement on the Museum of Northern Arizona parcel as well as other parcels owned by the museum. This ordinance authorizes all necessary private property acquisitions required to deliver the channel stabilization project.
Financial Impact:
The Highway 180 Culvert Project is an approved budget item in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 through 2024. Acquisitions for the project will be charged to the General Fund, unless State Funding or Federal appropriations are identified. The General Fund was identified as a “backstop” for this urgent Capital project during the Stormwater rate adjustment discussions with Council in early spring 2023.
Policy Impact:
If the General Fund is the funding source there may be impacts to other City priorities that are based on General Funding.
