Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This report is an update on the activities of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) for Fiscal Year 2014-15.
Staff recommends City Council approve the annual report of the GHAD for Fiscal Year 2014-15.
BACKGROUND
Following the hillside 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 serves as a funding mechanism to repair and maintain the Hillside Drive landslide area using grant funds from the state and federal governments. The repairs have been completed and now the GHAD major efforts are the maintenance and monitoring of the slide area’s retaining system, drainage system and ground cover.
Analysis
Public Works staff completed only minor maintenance work on the 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 the upcoming fiscal year.
Current Agency Policies
• Establish the GHAD as a vehicle to implement repair of the Hillside Drive landslide
• The GHAD is limited to twenty-six (26) properties, and collects and expends funds for landslide repair and maintenance
• The GHAD's existence and activities are tied to its available funding
• The GHAD will have no responsibility to perform activities beyond its funding capacity
