Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
All options that utilize a detour alignment (Options 1, 2, & 4) will shorten the construction duration of the project and introduce both safety and cost savings. There is no impact on General Fund net County Cost.
The improvements to Bass Lake Road are reimbursable through Traffic Impact Mitigation (TIM) fees and a portion of the detour may potentially be funded by the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan, Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP). Any savings associated with the use of PFFP roadways for the detour will be shared between the TIM Fee program and the PFFP. The proposed distribution of any potential savings between the TIM Fee program and the PFFP is currently being negotiated and will be presented to your Board with the Reimbursement Agreement at a future meeting.
