Central Contra Costa Sanitary District ' BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: March 1, 2012 subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO CREATE THE SMITH ROAD CAD NO. 2012 -1 AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION 2011 -051; AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING BOUNDARIES FOR THE CAD AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION 2011 -052 Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Russell Leavitt, Engineering Assistant III Engineering /Environmental Services REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: R. Leavitt T. odsey J. Mi moto -Mills A. Farrell K. Alm ames M. elly eneral Minager ISSUE: New resolutions are needed to renumber the Smith Road Contractual Assessment District (CAD) and revise the boundaries approved in September 2011. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution of intention to create the Smith Road CAD No. 2012 -1 and rescind Resolution 2011 -051; and adopt a resolution to approve new boundaries for the CAD and rescind Resolution 2011 -052. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None at this time. If the CAD receives final approval from the Board in the future, CAD costs are estimated to be $125,000. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Reject or defer re- initiating the CAD and revising its boundaries. These actions would halt or delay the CAD proceedings. BACKGROUND: At its September 1, 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution 2011 -051 to initiate formation of Smith Lane CAD No. 2011 -1 and Resolution 2011 -052 to approve boundaries for the CAD. Subsequently, staff discovered that a different CAD approved earlier in the year (the St. Mary's Road CAD) had been assigned the same CAD serial number (i.e., 2011 -1). A new CAD initiation resolution is needed to change the number of the Smith Road CAD to avoid confusion. Also, an owner of a parcel outside the original CAD boundaries has now indicated an interest in being served by the CAD sewer. If that property is added to the CAD, it would also be appropriate to add the property across the street. A new resolution is needed to revise the previously approved boundaries so that CAD planning and design can proceed.

With revised boundaries, the CAD sewer can be designed to serve the additional properties, preparation and public review of the Engineer's Report can proceed, and final approval of the CAD can be considered by the Board in the future. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Adopt a resolution of intention to create the Smith Road CAD No. 2012 -1 and rescind Resolution 2011 -051; adopt a resolution to approve its boundaries and rescind Resolution 2011 -052.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of CCCSD (Board) resolves: THAT Resolution No. 2011 -051 is hereby rescinded; and 2. THAT the Board intends to approve an improvement under the authority of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, as amended, to wit: construction and installation of approximately 610 linear feet of sanitary sewer, together with appurtenant work and facilities, located at Smith Road in Alamo, California; and 3. THAT the Board finds that the parcels within boundaries shown on the map entitled, "Proposed Boundaries of Smith Road Contractual Assessment District No. 2012 -1" shall be included in said Contractual Assessment District (CAD); and 4. THAT the Board intends to levy a special assessment upon participating parcels within said CAD in accordance with the special benefit to be received by each parcel, respectively, from the improvement. There shall be omitted from assessment, all public streets, alleys and places, and all land belonging to the United States, the State of California, Contra Costa County, and CCCSD because it has been determined that no special benefit will be conferred on any such land within the CAD; and 5. THAT the Board intends to provide loan financing for the improvements, subject to the availability of funds and any limitation on the commitment or expenditure of funds for the CAD Program as it may establish from time to time. Loans shall be repaid through assessments on the property of participating parcel owners. Assessments shall be paid over a maximum period of ten (10) years with interest at a rate to be fixed by CCCSD; and 6. THAT the procedure for collection of assessments shall be placement of assessments on participating parcel owners' annual property tax bills. The first assessments may be placed on owners' property tax bills in fiscal year 2012 -2013; and Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Resolution No. 2012 -016 Page 2 of 2 7. THAT the Board appoints Jarred Miyamoto - Mills, Principal Engineer / Provisional Environmental Services Division Manager, as Engineer of Work for this project to prepare the report required by Section 5898.22 of the Streets and Highways Code; and 8. THAT a public hearing before the Board is tentatively scheduled on this matter for May 17, 2012 at the District Offices at 5019 Imhoff Place, Martinez, California. This date may be changed in the future; and 9. THAT the Board independently finds that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be "seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment." This certainty is based on CCCSD's past experience with numerous sewer construction projects of this nature, the relatively short distance involved, and CCCSD's impact - limiting construction specifications that would be required of the project.
