PRESENTATION BY: PETER NAGHAVI, DIRECTOR, PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: ERNESTO MUROZ, CITY ENGINEER, (714) 754-5335
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Refund cash deposit in connection with Encroachment Permit No. PS08-00056 in the amount of
$8,246 to Rincon Real Estate Group, Inc, 614 Club House Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92663.
BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 2011, the Engineering Division issued Encroachment Permit No. PS08-00056 to
Jim Cefalia (contractor) for the construction of street improvements within East 16th Street. The
Encroachment Permit allowed the construction of a drive approach, curb and gutter, sidewalk,
and curb drains. The cash deposit in the amount of $8,246 was received and accepted by the
Public Services Department as a guarantee for the construction of street improvements.
ANALYSIS:
All conditions of the Encroachment Permit have been met and the work has been completed
and accepted by the Public Services Department.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The alternative to this Council action would be to retain the cash deposit. The Costa Mesa
Municipal Code Section 15-32(b) states, "The condition of said bond (or cash deposit) shall be
that the applicant will perform the work authorized by any permit issued pursuant to this chapter
in a good and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer." These
conditions have been met; therefore, retention of the cash deposit would be in violation of the
Municipal Code.
FISCAL REVIEW:
There is no fiscal impact to the City relative to this item.
LEGAL REVIEW:
There is no legal review required relative to this item.
CONCLUSION:
All of the required conditions of the Encroachment Permit have been completed by the
contractor. Therefore, staff recommends that the cash deposit in the amount of $8,246 be
released and refunded to Rincon Real Estate Group, Inc.
