Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Maritime Industrial Impact Fund (MIIF) (Board Policy No. 773) was created to offset the impacts off tidelands of Maritime Industrial activities that take place on tidelands. It was recognized at the time of creation that certain adjacent communities were disproportionately impacted by industrial operations on District jurisdiction. The CALTRANS Active Transportation Grant Program seeks to provide bicycle and walking transportation options to communities. In July 2018, the Board selected the City of National City's National City Bayshore Bikeway Project (Project) for $900,000 in MIIF funding in accordance with Board Policy No. 773. The MIIF funds will be used as match to the City's successful Active Transportation Grant application and for environmental review, entitlements and design of the Project. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) specifies the terms of a transfer of MIIF funds to the City of National City. In particular, the MIIF funds will be paid in in two instalments: $200,000 and $700,000 for a total of $900,000 and shall only be used for costs associated with environmental review, surveys, design and permitting The Project will enhance bicycle connections to public transit, parks, and the working waterfront, which includes Naval Base San Diego and District tenants such as ship builders, ship repairers, and other industrial businesses.
