Council continues pursuit of Portuguese Bend landslide abatement district, directs staff to return
Summary
After staff reported initial formation costs of roughly $500,000, the council voted to continue pursuing a Portuguese Bend Landslide Abatement District and directed staff to return in September with a legal opinion and cost-benefit analysis.
The council received an update on a proposal to form a third geologic hazard abatement district, the Portuguese Bend Landslide Abatement District, and was told initial formation costs were approximately $500,000, higher than originally anticipated.
After discussion, the council voted to continue pursuing formation of the district and directed staff to return in September with a legal opinion and a cost-benefit analysis. Council members also discussed an option to dissolve the Abalone Cove and Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement Districts and replace them with a single district covering the three landslide areas as an alternative approach.
No vote tallies or funding commitments were recorded in the meeting summary; staff were assigned follow-up work and a timeline for returning to the council.
