West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency

West Sacramento Levee Improvement Program

Projected Sources and Uses

The West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency’s (WSAFCA) goal is to provide a minimum 200-yearlevel of protection to the City of West Sacramento (City) by 2025. WSAFCA is advancing acomprehensive program referred to as the West Sacramento Levee Improvement Program (WSLIP) toachieve its flood risk reduction goals. WSAFCA has developed local funding sources to leverage againstfederal and State funds in support of implementation of the WSLIP.

To generate local funding to match federal and State funds, WSAFCA established the West SacramentoArea Flood Control Agency Assessment District Assessment District (Assessment) in 2007. WSAFCArelied on the Benefit Assessment Act of 1982 to establish the Assessment complying with the proceduralrequirements of Proposition 218. WSAFCA is funding the local share of the improvements by levying theAssessment on properties receiving a special benefit in the form of reduced flood risk. On July 16, 2007,WSAFCA announced that 70% of the weighted ballots returned by property owners in the districtapproved the annual Assessment. There is no sunset provision on the Assessment and it will beavailable to secure bonds, lines of credit, or other financing sources to capitalize WSLIP improvements.Additional information associated with the Assessment can be found in the Engineer’s Report, WestSacramento Area Flood Control Agency, Assessment District (July 2007). Since Federal appropriationsare not guaranteed, WSAFCA and the City understood that additional local financial resources could beneeded to supplement the parcel assessment and State funding. An in-lieu fee on new developmentwas adopted by the City in May 2007 (Ordinance 07-11). In addition, two general sales tax measureswithin the City, Measures U and V, were approved by the citizens of West Sacramento on November 4,2008. The City approved an allocation of some of the sales tax revenue generated by Measure V to fundflood risk reduction improvements to supplement the Assessment.

A key assumption outlined in the Engineer’s Report supporting the Assessment was the need for Stateand Federal funds to complete the WSLIP. Flood protection is the City’s top priority. If Federal funds donot materialize as envisioned, WSAFCA and the City recognize that additional local funding sources maybe needed over and above the Assessment, in-lieu fee, and sales tax measures in order to raise the localshare necessary to complete implementation of the WSLIP by 2025.

WSAFCA has partnered with the State of California Department of Water Resources (State) toimplement urgent flood risk reduction projects in advance of federal authorization. WSAFCA’s currentestimated cost to achieve 200-year level of protection is $680 million.

The tables below summarize the funding sources and uses that have been provided to DWR. The tablesare intended to frame a discussion regarding the agencies financial strategy. WSAFCA may determinethat securing additional local funding sources is needed to leverage State or federal funding andcomplete the WSLIP on a timeline that is acceptable to the agency.
