Item No. 8.a.
Should the Board Reconsider Its
May 17, 2012 Approval of
CAD Policy Exceptions?

Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
Request for Reconsideration
Property owners opposed to extension of public
sewer have requested that the Board reconsider
its approval of the CAD Policy exception to pay
for non - participants costs asserting that:
— The approved exception for the District to fund the non - participants
costs will inappropriately subsidize a few property owners (who can
still fund a public sewer by using the traditional CAD process and
themselves funding the non - participants costs.)
— Notice to the affected community was insufficient;
District staff's Position Paper did not accurately portray the amount
of opposition;
— Many property owners with developed properties oppose the
extension of public sewer
— The CAD program was designed to assist getting developed
properties off septic tanks and onto sewers not to facilitate
development of undeveloped properties.
Staff Recommendation
Reconsider CAD Policy Exceptions for a
potential El Toyonal area CAD in Orinda
— El Toyonal potential CAD does not meet criteria for
60% of tributary properties to have existing homes
served by septic tank systems
— 57% of the properties are developed
— 49% of the properties have expressed an interest
— Traditional CAD may not proceed because it requires
51 % approval of tributary properties
— Action to subsidize development of properties by
Enon - participant share may not be in District's
best interest
Calendar reconsideration for June 21, 2012
Board meeting
The Board may decide to
reconsider its
May 17, 2012 approval of
CAD Policy exceptions for the
St. Mary's Road CAD
\7ri
Staff Recommendation
• Do NOT reconsider CAD Policy
Exceptions for St Mary's CAD in Lafayette
— The project meets all CAD policy criteria
— The City of Lafayette is partnering in paying
some of the non - participants costs and has
already taken to Council and passed budget
— The project proponents are partnering in
paying some of the non - participants costs
— 92% of properties are developed and nine of
ten submitting ballots approved of project.
