ISSUE
State Law and District Code require that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Directors'
consideration of changes to Capacity Fees and Environmental and Development-Related Fees.
BACKGROUND
Staff has completed its annual review of Central San's Capacity Fees and its annual review of the
Environmental and Development-Related Fees and Charges and has concluded that it would be
appropriate to revise these fees. The recommended changes to the Capacity Fees account for changes
in the value of Central San's assets and changes to the number of Central San customers. The
recommended changes to the Environmental and Development-Related Fees and Charges reflect
changes to Central San's actual costs to provide these services.
