REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:

General Manager
ISSUE: The District Code and state law require holding a public hearing prior to placing
delinquent charges on the Fiscal Year 2012 -13 County tax roll.
RECOMMENDATION: Establish July 19, 2012 as the date for a public hearing to
consider placing delinquent charges on the Fiscal Year 2012 -13 County property tax roll
for collection.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None from this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decline to place the
delinquent charges on the County tax roll for collection, requiring that they be collected
directly by the District. Currently, these charges remain unpaid after several attempts
by staff to collect them, and it is unlikely that further attempts to collect them via direct
billing would be successful.
BACKGROUND: The District may elect to use the County property tax roll for the
collection of delinquent charges for services and facilities furnished by the District.
There is one delinquency to be considered at the July 19 Board meeting. There are
approximately $7,500.00 in delinquent fees, including capacity fees, owed for
connection of a second living unit at 1800 San Luis Road in Walnut Creek. Several
attempts to collect the fees have been made, and the property owner has not
responded to the District's letters. A Notice of Public Hearing will be published and will
also be mailed to the property owner at the mailing address of record.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Establish July 19, 2012 as the date for a public
hearing to consider placing delinquent charges on the Fiscal Year 2012 -13 Contra
Costa County property tax roll.
