FISCAL IMPACT:

26% Highway Safety Improvement Funds, 3% Local Road Funds, 18% East County Area of Benefit Funds, 7% Discovery Bay Area of Benefit Funds, 46% Discovery Bay West Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County intends to construct the Project and widen Byron Highway in order to install traffic safety improvements along Byron Highway between Byer Road intersection to Hoffman Lane.

As a condition of the contract, Grantors have requested indemnification from the County.

On December 4, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the project and determined the project was exempt from CEQA (CP #18-04).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Project will not have sufficient land rights to allow construction in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
