EXHIBIT C RESOLUTION NO. 2010 - RESOLUTION CONFIRMING FINAL ASSESSMENTS AND AUTHORIZING RECORDING FOR VIA VAQUEROS (2008-7) ALHAMBRA VALLEY ASSESSMENT DISTRICT (AVAD) The Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Board) resolves: This Board has taken a series of actions preliminary to establishing final assessments for the Via Vaqueros (2008-7) Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD), Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, Contra Costa County, California, and now makes the following findings and orders: 1. The Board adopted its Resolutions of Intention to order the improvement described therein under the Municipal Improvement Act of 1911, and directed by Curtis W. Swanson, Engineer of Work, to prepare the report required by Section 5989.22 of the Streets and Highways Code. 2. The Board approved a map showing the boundaries of the land benefited by the proposed improvements. Copies of the boundary maps were filed in the office of the County Recorder of the County of Contra Costa in the Book of Assessment and Community Facilities Districts. The improvements are generally described as follows: Design and construction of sanitary sewer line, together with appurtenant work and facilities located on Alhambra Valley Road and Via Vaqueros, unincorporated Martinez, California. 3. The Board conducted a public hearing pursuant to Section 5898.26 of the Streets and Highways Code, and gave every person present an opportunity to comment on and object to the proposed Contractual Assessment Program, the improvement and the extent of the Assessment District. The owners of record were provided ballots 45 days before the hearing on which owners could indicate approval of or opposition to the imposition of assessments. 4. The Board found that no written protests against the proposed improvements were made by owners representing more than one half of the area of the land to be assessed for each improvement. 5. The Board approved an Engineer's Report and each component part, including each exhibit incorporated by reference in the report, one of which was a table of estimated assessments. 6. The Board found that the Engineer's Report fairly and properly apportioned the cost of the improvement to each parcel of land in the Assessment District in •compliance with the Agreement between the owners and District and in proportion to the special benefits derived by each parcel, in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of the improvement. Draft versions of the Agreement, within which the owners voluntarily and unanimously agreed to the imposition of an assessment, was attached as an exhibit to the Engineer's Report and was incorporated by reference. 7. The Board ordered the improvement described in paragraph 2 and as detailed in the Engineer's Report. 8. The work on the improvement has been completed pursuant to a private agreement entered into by the owners and was accepted by the Board. The final costs for the improvements have been determined; the final assessments for each property have been determined; and a Notice of Assessment will be sent to each property owner after the Board confirms the final assessments. 9. The final assessments for each property appear on the Assessment Roll. The Board hereby confirms and levies each individual final assessment as stated in the Assessment Roll. 10. Payment of all or any part of such final assessments may be-made at the Permit Counter, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District, 5019 Imhoff Place, Martinez, California, 94553. The deadline for receipt of such payment by CCCSD Permit staff is the close of business on June 25, 2010. Thereafter, unpaid assessments for those voluntarily participating in the assessment district financing program will be payable in yearly installments of principal and interest at six (6.00) percent compounded annually over a period of fifteen (15) years. Assessments of non- participants will be held in abeyance until such time as the parcel connects to the sanitary sewer system, at which point the non-participant will owe a reimbursement to the District equal to the assessment amount plus such annual increases imposed by the Board to recoup the revenue lost by the District from financing the reimbursement amount. 11. The Board hereby sets July 15, 2010 as the date of a public hearing to receive comments on placing these assessments on the Contra Costa County tax roll.
