LOCAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 50
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, stated that the District
staff and Counsel have been reviewing the Local Improvement District No. 50
Martinez sewer problem the past several weeks, and asked Mr. Bohn, Counsel for
the District, to review the situation for the Board Members.
Mr. Bohn stated that the staff was concerned with the problem due to the
40% increase in construction costs since the sewering of the City of Martinez
was proposed several years ago.
He stated that the Board was careful to warn the City that any accurate
cost estimate would require more engineering than was available at the time.
He stated that when the plans were completed, after relocation from the
original route due to poor soil conditions, the final cost estimate is now
at a higher level.
He further stated that meetings had been held with Mr. Ernest Wilson,
Attorney for Local Improvement District No. 50, to determine the most favorable
means of financing.

The meetings resulted in four alternates for consideration:
1. Request additional funds from HUD, who he said were not encouraging
when questioned, but will be pursued. Request has been denied twice by
Regional office.
2.
District increase contribution - separate or with HUD.
Not desirable.
3.
Proceed with assessment procedure.
4. Use of Revenue Bond type of financing which will have an annual facility
or capital fund charge to be collected on the tax roll and would not be a lien
on the property.
This annual charge on the tax bill would be tax deductible; an assessment
would not.
The staff favors this approach as it fits into the terms of the Martinez
contract.
The watershed charges would be fixed by project costs and collections
would be divided between CCCSD, relative to District contribution, and the
City. The City share to apply to the Revenue Bond Retirement Fund after the
first $218,000.00 to be paid to the District for the City of Martinez cost
of buying into the District.
The term of the rebate, which was established at lS years for the
Assessment Bonds, could be increased to 30 years, the suggested term of the
Revenue Bonds. This could result in a large portion, if not all, Revenue
Bond retirement costs coming back to the City.
Mr. Bohn stated that Mr. Ernest Wilson would explain the procedure for
Revenue Bond type of financing.
Mr. Wilson stated that the 1933 Revenue Bond Act was originally considered
but, due to the small amount of the individual assessments, was not practical.
With a larger amount now to be assessed, the 1933 Revenue Act Bonds are
more reasonable.
Mr. Wilson explained the procedure for a Hearing to be held prior to
going ahead with the Revenue Bonds.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that the estimated cost per residential unit was
$l2.66 per year against the $l2.00 service charge now being paid.
Charges to schools and other tax exempt organizations were discussed.
Board Members felt that this would be a much better way for rebating than
paying back in cash to all the individual properties.
After discussion and the determination of the Board to proceed with the
Revenue Bond procedure, Mr. Wilson presented the following Resolutions for
adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 1908, A RESOLUTION APPROVING ENGINEER'S REPORT, LOCAL
