WHEREAS, Both the El Charro Specific Plan and the Staples Ranch Project require improvements to El Charro Road prior to occupancy of new developments, and AUTHORITY and LIVERMORE, together with the County of Alameda ("the County"), PLEASANTON and Vulcan Materials, have negotiated and are executing the Pre-Development Cooperation Agreement that specifies the level and timing of construction of the El Charro Road Improvements. WHEREAS, The LIVERMORE EIR indicates that a portion of the El Charro Specific Plan is currently within the 100-year flood zone, and that a portion of the Staples Ranch Property is also within the 100-year flood zone. As described in the Livermore EIR, flood water passes through the El Charro Specific Plan and then crosses El Charro Road just south of Interstate 580. The LIVERMORE EIR also indicates that LIVERMORE has proposed flood protection improvements within the El Charro Specific Plan, including a North Overbank and a South Detention Conveyance Facility ("Livermore Flood Protection Improvements"), which would remove a portion of the El Charro Specific Plan from the 100-year flood zone, without impacting downstream development. The Livermore Flood Protection Improvements remove a portion of the developable area of the El Charro Specific Plan from the 100-year flood zone and will also remove all portions of the Staples Ranch Property from the 100-year flood zone. WHEREAS, LIVERMORE is currently negotiating with the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7 ("Zone 7") for reimbursement from Zone 7 for all or part of the proposed Livermore Flood Protection Improvements. Both LIVERMORE and AUTHORITY wish to cooperate to fairly share the costs of both El Charro Road and the Livermore Flood Protection Improvements, which costs include the cost of design, construction, mitigation and any lease of land. WHEREAS, It is the intent of LIVERMORE, PLEASANTON, and AUTHORITY to cooperate to facilitate the development of the El Charro Specific. Plan and Staples Ranch Property. WHEREAS, It is the intent of all parties to work to secure Zone 7 approval of a cost effective Livermore Flood Protection Improvements project that is eligible for reimbursement and/or exemption credits, to obtain reimbursement for Livermore Flood Protection Improvements required for these developments and to have Zone 7 prioritize these improvements in their StreamWISE program. WHEREAS, LIVERMORE and PLEASANTON agree to work together to secure Caltrans approval of any additional improvements required for the Caltrans I-580/Fallon Road Interchange Modification Project No. 04-257604. WHEREAS, All parties wish to enter into a cost sharing agreement for the improvements which are mutually beneficial to LIVERMORE and PLEASANTON and AUTHORITY. WHEREAS, The PLEASANTON City Council, having considered the merits of a proposed Cost Sharing Agreement between the cities of LIVERMORE and PLEASANTON and the SURPLUS PROPERTY AUTHORITY OF ALAMEDA COUNTY, finds that it is in the best interest of PLEASANTON to enter into such Agreement. 2
