A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA SUPPORTING
THE DEER CREEK FINANCING PROGRAM OF THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS FOR SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.
WHEREAS, the continuation of the Deer Creek segments of the
Cucamonga Creek Improvement Project is vital to health, safety and
economic stability of the residents of Rancho Cucamonga; and
WHEREAS, the Project is anticipated to cost $40,000,000 of
which approximately $34,000,000 can be provided through grants and con-
tributions from the United States Army Corp of Engineers if the County
Flood Control District can provide the remainder thereof as its local
share; and
WHEREAS, the Flood Control District lacks adequate funds to
provide said local share within the time periods required by the United
States Army Corps of Engineers, and the failure of the District to pro-
vide its share of the financing could result in the loss of the Project
irretrievably to the City and the District; and
WHEREAS, the City officials comprising Zone 1 of the Flood
Control District and major land owners within the watershed have met
with County Representatives in a strong cooperative effort to develop
the funds needed to save the project; and
WHEREAS, those officials and land owners have reached general
agreement on such a program;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Rancho Cucamonga, California, that strongly supports a program
to save funding for the Deer Creek Channel and recommends to the Board
of Supervisors of San Bernardino County adopt the following program to
develop said funding:

required $5.9 million matching share. The $4 million
dollars would be raised by $5 per unit assessment in the
Zone 1 areas outside the cities of Rancho Cucamonga and
Ontario. The cities of Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario
would be subject to an approximately $30 benefit assess-
ment. The balance of the monies shall be raised by
written agreements from major property.

be levied but that in the future, development fees be
considered by the Flood Control District for areas which
have major Flood Control drainage problems.
