EBMUD is part of DA 191 and Alameda LAFCO is their home LAFCO. Alameda LAFCO charges a $300 fee to process a change of jurisdiction so that Contra Costa LAFCO (the home LAFCO for CCCSD and the project site) could process the EBMUD aspect of DA 191. CCCSD will be reimbursed this cost when the applicant/developer pays CCCSD's annexation fees at the end of the process. These fees are based on reimbursement of actual costs. Check #37420 dated 9/22/16 for $2,8.76.55 to Taborda Solutions, Inc. The Committee asked why a Taborda Solutions, Inc. invoice was billed to a capital project, and another invoice to the same vendor was billed through O&M. The first one was a new purchase for network equipment which IT generally charges as a capital project expense. The second item is for maintenance and support for IT tape backup software and all such maintenance is charged to O&M since it is a recurring maintenance charge. TV:slc
