FINDINGS
F1.
The total $3.4 million funding agreed on is not sufficient to
fully fund the projects listed in the
Agreement. It is the conclusion of the MCCGJ that it was never sufficient for
the scope of
the planned projects.
F2.
Because Moss Landing is not an incorporated city, the Chamber
acted properly to make an agreement
with Monterey County to manage the funds and the projects. The August 24, 2004
Amendment to the 2001 Agreement with Duke Energy expressly acknowledges this reassignment
of management oversight.
F3.
The County appears to have been responsible stewards of the
funds and has been pursuing the necessary designs, permits, easements and rights of way.
F4.
The County has completed a portion of the design for the storm
drain project in order that the
project may be potentially competitive in seeking grant funding.
F1.
The RMA-Public Works Department website (www.co.monterey.ca.us/publicworks/)
contains FAQs about the Moss Landing Improvement Projects but
the page can be found only by
using the “search” bar or a search engine, and it may be lacking the most
current information.
RECOMMENDATIONS
R1.
Monterey County seek grants and other outside sources of funding
for the projects that are on hold due to lack of funding.
R2.
The Public Works Department ensure that its website is an
accurate source of information for
the public about these Moss Landing projects by maintaining updated project
information and
financial data.
R3.
The Public Works Department add a category to the FAQ or Special
Announcements pages to improve accessibility to information about these projects.
