FUNDING: N/A
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
El Dorado County Department of Transportation (Transportation) completed construction of the Pioneer Trail III Erosion Control Project (Project) in 2001. For the Project, the Board authorized the execution of a License Agreement with the City of South Lake Tahoe (City) to allow Transportation to construct and maintain improvements on three City owned parcels (March 6, 2001, Item 17). The improvements constructed on these parcels were designed to meet Transportation's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit requirements and water quality objectives to improve Lake Tahoe's clarity. The existing agreement expired on March 6, 2021. Transportation has continued to meet its inspection and maintenance requirements on these parcels since the expiration of the previous agreement; however, both the City and Transportation wish to reestablish a formal relationship for this work under the proposed License Agreement. This renewal will be for an additional 20-year term.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the License Agreement. If not approved, the County could face difficulty maintaining County installed and previously maintained infrastructure on the City parcels.
