' BOARD OF DIRECTORS POSITION PAPER Board Meeting Date: May 3, 2012 subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING JUNE 7, 2012 AS THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SMITH ROAD CONTRACTUAL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2012 -1 Submitted By: Initiating Dept. /Div.: Russell B. Leavitt, Engineering Assistant III Engineering /Environmental Services REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: R. Leavitt T. Godsey J. amoto -Mills K. Alm Ann E. Farrell General Manager ISSUE: A public hearing is required to establish the Smith Road Contractual Assessment District (CAD) No. 2012 -1. A public hearing is also required to create an assessment district pursuant to the procedure adopted under Proposition 218, which amended the California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution establishing June 7, 2012 as the date for a public hearing regarding Smith Road CAD No. 2012 -1 pursuant to California Constitution, Article XIII D, Section 4, and Streets and Highways Code, Sections 5898.20 and 5898.24. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are minor costs for publishing a legal notice advertising the public hearing and for staff preparation and attendance. These costs will eventually be paid by the CAD participants. Subsequent approval of the Smith Road CAD would commit the District to finance up to $121,000 in sewer improvements, which would be repaid by property owners. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Selecting a later date for the public hearing would delay the CAD proceedings, since the holding of a public hearing is required by law. Taking no Board action will delay the CAD proceedings until a different public hearing date is set, since the holding of a public hearing is required by law. BACKGROUND: On March 1, 2012, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution of intention to create the Smith Road CAD for the purpose of installing sewer improvements on Smith Road in Alamo. The proposed Smith Road CAD complies with the CAD policy approved at the February 1, 2001 Board of Directors meeting. Seven properties could be served by a Smith Road CAD public sewer.
