From: Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared By: Remon Habib, City Engineer
Date: December 14, 2021
Subject: Cooperative Agreement Between the City of Lake Elsinore and the
Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for the
City of Lake Elsinore MS 195 Drainage Improvement – Summerhill Drive
Storm Drain Line A – Stage 1
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Cooperative Agreement between the
City of Lake Elsinore and Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for
the City of Lake Elsinore MS 195 Drainage Improvement – Summerhill Drive Storm Drain Line A
– Stage 1 (“Summerhill Line A”).
Background
The City of Lake Elsinore (City) and the Riverside County Flood Control and Water
Conservation District (RCFC) desire to enter into a cooperative agreement for the design,
construction, and maintenance of the proposed flood control facilities including appurtenances.
The City is currently in the final design for the Summerhill Drive Extension project that will
extend the existing road terminus northerly to Greenwald Ave. As part of the project, City is
proposing to install the Summerhill Line A improvements to prevent future road removals and
repairs. In the interim, Summerhill Line A storm drain line will be capped on both ends and will
not be functional until the remaining drainage facilities are constructed as part of future Tract
31370 build-out. RCFC will assume maintenance responsibilities after such point that future
development drainage is connected to Line A. Until that time, Line A will remain a dry line under
the responsibility of the City. The line is a 7ft x 10ft Concrete Box Culvert and is approximately
1,034 ft in length.
Discussion
The purpose of this agreement is to memorialize the mutual understanding by and between the
City and RCFC with respect to funding, design, construction, inspection, ownership, operation,
and maintenance.
