ISSUE: A resolution of the Board of Directors passed by four affirmative votes is needed
to place charges on the Contra Costa County tax roll.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution directing that additional 2011 -12 assessments
for the Alhambra Valley Assessment Districts, and assessments for other fee installment
payment programs be collected on the Contra Costa County tax roll.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This action will provide for collection of approximately $4,949.89
in 2011 -12 assessments from properties that formed Alhambra Valley Assessment
Districts and other fee installment payment programs.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Not applicable.
BACKGROUND: In 2010, the Board approved two new user categories that could
participate in the capacity fee installment payment program: 1) new participants in an
existing Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD), and 2) existing homeowners
converting from septic tanks.
Property owners who are connecting their properties in an AVAD may elect to participate
in the district's installment payment program for AVADs. Under this program, which was
approved by the Board on July 15, 2010, the time period for direct and indirect connectors
to become participants in existing AVADs was extended to June 30, 2015. This program
allows payment of capacity fees, annexation charges, AVAD charges, and indirect trunk
line charges over a 15 -year period rather than at the time of connection.
Property owners who are converting their properties from septic tank to sanitary sewer
may elect to participate in the District's capacity fee installment payment program. Under

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: August 4, 2011
Subject. CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENTS ON AND
CONSIDER ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THAT ADDITIONAL
2011 -12 ASSESSMENTS FOR ALHAMBRA VALLEY ASSESSMENT DISTRICTS
AND OTHER FEE INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PROGRAMS BE COLLECTED ON
THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY TAX ROLL
this program, which was approved by the Board on September 2, 2010, a homeowner
who is abandoning a septic tank and connecting to the sanitary sewer is allowed to
finance the capacity fees over a ten -year period rather than pay the capacity fees at the
time of connection.
These properties are listed in the attached Exhibit A. Payments are to be collected by
placing assessments on each property owner's tax bill.
The Board approved a resolution on May 5, 2011 to place assessments for installment
payment programs on the Contra Costa County tax roll. Since that time, several
additional property owners have signed installment payment agreements under these
programs, and FY 2011 -12 assessments for these programs should be added to the
Contra Costa County tax roll in August 2011. To avoid multiple Board actions, beginning
next year, staff will schedule Board consideration of adding installment payments to the
Contra Costa County tax roll during July or early August instead of in May.
A resolution of the Board is needed to place assessments for Alhambra Valley
Assessment Districts and other fee installment payment programs on the Contra Costa
County tax roll.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution directing that assessments for
Alhambra Valley Assessment Districts and other fee installment payment programs be
collected on the Contra Costa County tax roll.
Four affirmative votes are required to adopt the resolution.
