Agenda 2/14/2023 Item #10E (Give partners at the Golden Gate Golf Course assurance they will not be required to apy for the remediation of arsenic and water sampling)10.E
02/ 14/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board clarify that the County will be solely responsible for any costs associated
with soil testing and any arsenic remediation of the Golden Gate Golf Course.
OBJECTIVE: To give our partners at the Golden Gate Golf Course assurance that they will not be required to pay
for the remediation of arsenic and water sampling on the property.
CONSIDERATIONS: The County is currently developing the former Golden Gate Golf course with a number of
projects, including the State Veterans Home, an affordable housing development and with Big Shots. Although
technically the County can look at these entities to help with any soil testing and arsenic remediation costs, legally,
at the end of the day, the property owner (which is us) is primarily liable for the costs (other than the entity that
caused the environmental issue). I would like to give our partners the assurance of knowing the County will handle
any necessary soil testing and remediation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Unknown.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to this
action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues at this
moment, and requires majority vote for Board action or direction. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board clarify that the County will be solely responsible for any costs associated
with soil testing and arsenic remediation of the Golden Gate Golf Course.
