ISSUE: The District Code and state law require that the Board conduct a public hearing
prior to considering placement of Capacity Use charges, assessments for Contractual
Assessment Districts (CADs), Alhambra Valley Assessment Districts (AVADs) and fee
deferral programs on the County tax roll.
RECOMMENDATION: Establish May 5, 2011 as the date for a public hearing to receive
comments on placing the Fiscal Year 2011 -12 Capacity Use Charges and assessments
for CADs, AVADs and the assessments for other fee deferral programs on the County
tax roll for collection.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None by this action, however, the staff recommendation to
place assessments and charges on the County tax roll is the most efficient and cost
effective method of collection. The alternative, direct billing would incur additional staff
time and could result in a lower rate of collection of these charges.
ALTERNATIVESICONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decline to establish the
recommended public hearing date or may elect to choose a different date. However, a
public hearing must be held if assessments and charges are to be placed on the County
tax roll for collection.
BACKGROUND: Commercial tenants and commercial property owners may elect to
participate in the District's Capacity Use program for payment of capacity Fees over a
15 -year period.
Property owners who have formed CADs have agreed to pay for sewer improvements
over a ten -year period. Property owners who have formed AVADs have agreed to pay
for sewer improvements over a 15 -year period. Payments are to be collected by placing
assessments on each property owner's tax bill.
