Home My WebLink About07.a.1) Update on payments of outstanding capacity fees, and delinquent capacity fees7a.1 Central Contra Costa Sanitary District June 28, 2013 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: CURT SWANSON, PROVISIONAL GENERAL MANAGER DANEA GEMMELL, ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION MANAGERA F,,- D.G►, FROM: THOMAS BRIGHTBILL, SENIOR ENGINEER4 SUBJECT: UPDATE ON CAPACITY FEES COLLECTIONS On June 6, 2013, the property owner at 4221 Blackhawk Meadow Court, Danville, appealed a staff decision regarding capacity fees to the Board of Directors. After hearing the property owner's appeal and listening to the property owner's circumstances, the Board decided that reducing the amount of the capacity fee was appropriate based on the issues the property owner raised. Following this decision, the Board asked to review payments of outstanding capacity fees received to date and delinquent capacity fees. Background District staff began collection of outstanding fees related to the Outstanding Fee Report (OFR) in late 2012. In addition to these OFR fees, staff typically identifies a number of connections made without permits over the course of the year and initiates collections for those fees. These non -OFR collections are not included in the attached tables. Outstanding Capacity Fees Collected Since January 1, 2013, District staff has collected capacity fees from 25 property owners. In all but two cases, the property owners paid the full capacity fees. In the two remaining cases, property owners appealed to staff and based on the information presented by the property owner and a review of the remaining data associated with the permit application, a decision was made by District staff that reducing the capacity fee was appropriate. In three cases, staff reviewed issues raised by property owners and offered to waive back sewer service charges to address concerns raised by property owners. This practice is consistent with collection efforts prior to the Outstanding Fee Report. \ \DistGroups \Groups$ \ENVRSEC\Position Papers \Brightbill\2013 \7- 11 -13 \GM Report - Outstanding Fee Collection Program Collections Update 6- 28- 13.doc Update on Capacity Fees Collections June 28, 2013 Page 2 of 2 A summary of outstanding capacity fees collected since January 1 is attached as Table 1. Remaining Outstanding Capacity Fees As of June 27, 2013, fifteen parcels still have outstanding capacity fees. While efforts are still underway, staff believes that many of these fees will still be outstanding by the July 25 public hearing where the Board of Directors will consider placing these outstanding charges on the property tax bill. A summary of the remaining outstanding capacity fees is attached as Table 2. Recommendation Staff recommends collecting the remaining capacity and related fees at current rates as presented at the October 18, 2012 Board of Directors meeting. District staff has worked hard to ensure that property owners are treated equally while still being responsive and addressing the concerns that they raise at either the staff or Board level. \ \DistGroups \Groups$ \ENVRSEC \Position Papers \Brightbill\2013 \7- 11 -13 \GM Report - Outstanding Fee Collection Program Collections Update 6- 28- 13.doc Table 1 Outstanding Fees Collected During OFR Collection Effort App App Total Fees App # Year Type Address City Collected Notes 96 -87 1996 SLU 174 -178 Castlehill Ranch Road Walnut Creek 6,632.00 97 -1242 1997 SLU 31 Way Points Rd Danville 7,595.00 00 -1640 2000 SLU 2130 Las Trampas Rd Alamo 7,595.00 01 -20 2001 SLU 5 Country Oak Ln Alamo 7,595.00 01 -335 2001 SLU 2168 Norris Rd Walnut Creek 6,632.00 01-462 2001 SLU 368 Skander Ln Pleasant Hill 7,595.00 01 -1270 2001 SFR 1710 Club House Rd Diablo 8,019.00 02 -139 2002 SLU 280 Castle Hill Ranch Rd Walnut Creek 7,595.00 03 -73 2003 SLU 995 Grayson Ln Pleasant Hill 6,973.00 03 -1913 2003 SLU 97 Del Hambre Cir Walnut Creek 6,261.00 04 -230 2004 SFR 1746 Reliez Valley #B Lafayette 5,025.00 Capacity fee reduced to 2006 rate 04 -924 2004 SLU 75 Alder Ave Walnut Creek 4,818.00 Capacity fee reduced to 2004 rate 04 -1832 2004 SLU 2132 Hadden Road Walnut Creek 6,632.00 05 -232 2005 SLU 3197 3201 Quandt Rd Lafayette 464.00 Discovery date issues with Capacity Fee 05 -2424 2005 SLU 100 Woodranch Cir Danville 5,797.00 07 -1078 2007 SLU 66 Jasmine Ct Danville 6,261.00 07 -2351 2007 SLU 117 Sylvan RD Walnut Creek 6,168.00 08 -583 2008 SLU 21 Amberwood Ln Walnut Creek 6,346.00 08 -669 2008 SLU 13 Session Road Lafayette 6,261.00 08 -1438 2008 SLU 1560 Ramona Way Alamo 7,581.00 09 -198 2009 SLU 28 Sky Ter Danville 7,928.00 09 -209 2009 SLU 25 Meadow Lake Dr Danville 12,451.69 09 -323 2009 SLU 84 Cottage Ln Walnut Creek 7,440.00 09 -445 2009 Comm Add 1871 Geary Rd Walnut Creek 2,750.68 Non - residential.
