ISSUE: Work has been completed on the Vista Del Orinda Contractual Assessment
District (CAD) No. 2010 -2 and the final assessment can be established and levied. A
public hearing and a resolution are required to direct that the 2012 -2013 assessment be
collected on the Contra Costa County tax roll and to establish reimbursement fees for
future connectors.
RECOMMENDATION: Establish June 21, 2012 as the date for a public hearing to
consider: (1) Confirming and levying final assessments for Vista Del Orinda CAD No.
2010 -2; (2) Directing that the 2012 -2013 assessment be collected on the Contra Costa
County tax roll; and, (3) Adopting a proposed ordinance (uncodified) to establish
reimbursement fees for the properties which could directly connect to Job 6499.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The action will allow the District to be reimbursed for project
costs.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: 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 and participants are to be reimbursed for covering non-
participant costs.
BACKGROUND: On May 19, 2011, the Board of Directors ordered sanitary sewer
improvements for the Vista Del Orinda neighborhood in Orinda. The work to install the
improvements has been completed, final costs are ready to be totaled, and final
assessments for each property can be determined. The Board will be requested to
confirm and levy these final assessments and to authorize a Notice of Assessment.

After being given an opportunity to pay off their CAD assessment in a lump sum without
interest, property owners instead may choose to pay for sewer improvements over a
ten -year period. Payments are to be collected by placing assessments on each
property owner's tax bill. The Board must conduct a public hearing prior to considering
placement of charges and assessments on the County tax roll for collection and to
establish the reimbursement fees for new connectors to repay participants for covering
non - participant costs.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Establish June 21, 2012 as the date for a public
hearing to consider: (1) Confirming and levying final assessments for Vista Del Orinda
CAD No. 2010 -2; (2) Directing that the 2012 -2013 assessment be collected on the
