DISTRICT ORDINANCE 86
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, recommended to the Board
Members an adoption of a policy statement to guide staff in the application
of special service charges to public agency properties.
Recommended policy statement:
(1) Federal and state laws and administrative regulations require that
each user of a sewer system pay its proportionate share of the cost of said
system, and this District has been informed that it must apply charges to
users having exemptions from the District tax roll, and users demanding
special services.
(2) This District will avoid, as long as permitted' by Federal or State
laws, special charges to local public agencies serving the District and its
taxpayers for normal governmental functions where such agencies apply no
service charges against the District.
Therefore, the following local governmental function~ are exempt from
the District special service charge until further notice:
(a) All regular governmental functions of cities and special districts
within the boundaries of this District.
(b) Special districts whose boundaries are approximately co-terminus
to those of this District such as fire, school and recreation districts and
whose primary source of revenue is derived from the property tax levied
against taxpayers of Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
The above exempted governmental functions do not include land or space
leased to private operators, clubs, or individuals, or federal, state or
county units, or facilities leased from other governmental bodies and used
for commercial operation.
After discussion betweeen Board members, staff and Mr. Bohn, Counsel,
for the District, concerning adoption of such policy statèment and recognizing
that certain portions of District Ordinance 86 require amendment, item was

Mr. Sohn, Counsel for the District, stated that he had reviewed the state-
ment of Mr. Favro, that he had been charged $1,000.00 in Watershed charges
for Subdivision 4312, formerly Subdivision 3051, Lot 21, Ascot Drive, Rheem
Valley, California, and Mr. Favro's claim that such Watershed charges were
not properly authorized. Mr. Bohn stated that, in his opinion, the action
of the Board taken at its meeting of August 31, 1972, wherein the Board, after
explanation by Mr. Dalton, Acting General Manager-Chief Engineer, concerning
the rationale for Watershed Trunk Charges, approved a schedule of Watershed
charges as proposed by staff, to be effective January 1,1973, was proper and
legal.
Secretary Davis, for the benefit of Board Members and Mr. Favro in the
audience, read the Minutes of the meeting of August 31, 1972, pertaining to
Board action on Watershed Trunk Charges.
Mr. Peter Favro addressed the Board and claimed that Subdivision 4312,
formerly Subdivision 3051, pre-dated the formal adoption of a Watershed plan
and, therefore, was exempt from Watershed Trunk Charges. He stated that the
~rea in question had been zoned in 1964 as MRB and that such zoning was still
~n effect and he suggested that the staff memorandum by Mr. Dalton dated
March 15, 1972, concerning policy on Watershed Trunk Charges had not been for-
mally adopted by the Board Members and, therefore, that he was entitled to a
refund of $l,OOO.OO for Watershed Trunk Charges previously paid.
Board Members, staff, Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, and Mr. Favro
discussed and exchanged comments regarding previous District policy regarding
application ~f Watershed Trunk Charges and the issues raised by Mr. Favro.
After such d~scussion and upon the assurance of Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the
District, that the Board's action of August 31,1972, in authorizing a new
Watershed policy to be effective Janua~y 1,1973, was valid, it was moved by
Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Gibbs, that the claim of Mr. Peter Favro
for a refund of $1,000.00 in Watershed Trunk Charges for Subdivision 4312 be
denied. Carried by the following vote:

COMBINATION OF STUDY WATERSHED 21 WITH WATERSHED 22
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that unit
charges for Watershed 21 had never been established because the area in ques-
tion had previously been largely located in a Local Improvement District.
However, with the adoption of the District's new policy on Watershed charges
to be effective January 1,1973, and with the authorization of Local Improve-
ment District proceedings for Proposed Sewering Area 49, located in Watershed
21, it is now appropriate that Watershed charges be established. Since Water-
shed2l is adjacent to and has similar construction conditions as Watershed 22"
staff recommended that the boundaries of Watershed 22 be expanded to include
Watershed study area 21. Staff further recommended that Watershed 22 trunk
charges of $200.00 per unit be established and applied after crediting pre-
vious Local Improvement District assessments paid, and that trunk facilities
required for Watershed 21 be included in the Watershed 22 program.
After discussion by Board Membe1õs and staff, it was recommended by Member
Gibbs, seconded by Member Boneystee1e, that the boundaries of Watershed 22 be
expanded to include Watershed study area 21; that Watershed 22 trunk charges
of $200.00 per unit,be.:.estab1iShed and applied after giving credit for Local
Improvement District assessments paid; and that trunk facilities required for
Watershed 21 be included in the Watershed 22 program. Carried by the following
