Initiating Dept./Div.: Thomas Brightbill, Senior Engineer Engineering &Technical Services / Planning & Developme ervices REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION: Thea Vassallo—Finance Manager D. Gemmell—Planning & Development Services Manager AGe�n"eiral eyJM. Petit—Director of En ineerin &Technical Services r S.Baileyg g Manager ISSUE: District Code and State law require that a public hearin held to receive public comment on placing the Sewer Service Charges, Capacity Use Charges, assessments for Contractual Assessment Districts and Alhambra Valley Assessment Districts, and other fee installment payment programs on the County property tax roll for collection. BACKGROUND: California Health and Safety Code section 5473.1 and District Code section 6.24.150 require the holding of a public hearing to consider the report identifying properties and their associated charges that will be transmitted to the Contra Costa County Tax Collector for collection on the property tax roll. At the public hearing, the Board will hear any objections or protests to the report. If a majority of property owners object to collection on the tax roll, then the charges must be billed directly. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board may adopt, revise, change, reduce or modify and charge or overrule any or all objections to the report. Legal notices will be published in the East Bay Times (formally the Contra Costa Times and the San Ramon Valley Times) and the Notice of Public Hearing will be posted on the District's web site. ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could not hold the public hearing and could opt to bill customers directly. Staff does not recommend this as it is more economical to place charges on the tax roll for collection, which the District has done since the inception of the Sewer Service Charge in 1976 as authorized by the California Health and Safety Code. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None by setting the public hearing.
