2016: The Year of Fixing the City's Infrastructure?By Brad Barnum, Executive Vice President
The recent El Nino storms revealed some serious cracks in the City of SanDiego's infrastructure, and it is becoming more and more obvious thatsomething needs to be done to fill the $1.4 billion funding gap for the City'sCapital Improvement Program. Last week, AGC met with two city leaders whohave some ideas that should make inroads to fixing the problem. Here is aquick look at two proposals that are likely headed to the June and Novemberballot, respectively:
Rebuilding San Diego Last Thursday, Council Member Mark Kersey addressed AGC's Board ofDirectors about his proposal to create dedicated sources of revenue forinfrastructure investment. Specifically, there would be three streams ofrevenue:
Excess Sales Tax Growth (30 years)½ of General Fund Growth (5 years)100% of Net Pension Savings (30 years)
Up to $5 billion of new money would be generated from this proposal, and thefunds would be spent on capital and maintenance costs associated withneighborhood infrastructure, including streets, sidewalks, storm drains, parkand recreation facilities, libraries, and police and fire stations.
Since this proposal changes the City's Charter, it will need to be approved by amajority of voters. Over the coming weeks, we can expect the City Council todraft the ballot language and vote to place it on the June ballot. AGC'sGovernment Relations Committee will review the measure once it is finalized.
Building Fire Stations
A 2011 City report called San Diego's emergency coverage inadequate due topopulation growth and delays in response times due to canyons. The reportalso called for more fire stations, but the 19 stations recommended haven'tbeen built. Council President Pro Tem Emerald has an answer...place a $250million general obligation bond on the November ballot and let the votersdecide! Last Tuesday, AGC staff and Dave Erickson of Erickson-HallConstruction Company met with her to discuss her plans. The Fire Department and the City's Independent Budget Analyst estimate eachnew fire station will cost $10-12 million. With the goal of getting these firestations built quickly and efficiently, the Councilwoman has asked for a follow-up meeting with AGC's Public Building Committee to get its perspective.
A two thirds vote is required to pass a general obligation bond at the city level. Over the coming months, the proposal will work its way through the approvalprocess at City Council. If passed by a majority of the City Council, it will beplaced on the November ballot.
The good news is that there are more infrastructure funding measures beingconsidered by other cities and regional agencies. Could this be the year ofinfrastructure? We are betting on it!
