PUBLIC COMMENT Jan Smutny-Jones believed the inundation levels under the 200-year floodplain study at Stonelake Landing would affect the hospital project proposed by California Northstate University (CNU), and create access issues with surrounding roadways being inundated with water as well. He referenced General Plan Policy ER-2-3 to encourage locating healthcare facilities outside of 100-year and 200-year flood hazard zones, and believed Lynn Wheat questioned who would pay the $15.2 million to improve the levee system to 200-year flood protection. Ms. Wheat believed the geotechnical study, stated at a Public Works Director Robert Murdoch noted there were no identified funding sources to address the project costs identified under the study to provide 200-year flood protection, and there was no incentive for property owners to enact an assessment as property owners do not need to pay for flood insurance regarding a 200-year flood hazard zone. Since the area meets the 100-year standard, it would be difficult to locate funding but staff could see if there were any grant opportunities. He noted aspects of the geotechnical study would be awarded on the basis of the best qualified for technical work, but the remaining balance of the work could be evaluated for placing out to bid.
