RECOMMENDATIONS:
Acting on behalf of County Service Area 1, 9, 15, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 38, 41, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 58, 62, 66, 68, 72, and 75:
a. Adopt Resolutions certifying compliance with State law with respect to the levying of general and special taxes, assessments, and property related fees and charges for County Service Areas 1, 9, 15, 19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 37, 38, 41, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 58, 62, 66, 68, 72, and 75; and
b. Authorize the Auditor-Controller to enter the amounts of the charges against the respective lots or parcels as they appear on the assessment roll for FY 2013-14 as described in Exhibit A of each Resolution.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Resolutions to be adopted are necessary to establish that fees are in compliance with State and County requirements and to collect service charges on the County Tax roll. Each Resolution contains a report of service charges for each individual County Service Area (CSA) within Exhibit A of the corresponding Resolution. Each report lists the parcel of land affected and the associated service charges to be assessed. Services provided are specified in each enabling ordinance. Attachment 1 provides a summary of the assessments for typical single-family dwellings. There are no changes in the amount being charged for service charges for any of the CSAs. There are no assessments shown for CSA's 17, 25, 34, 55, 57 and 67 because the CSA's are entirely funded by pre-Proposition 13 property tax assessments.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Due to the late submission of this Board Report, the CAO Budget and Analysis Division was not provided adequate time to fully review for potential fiscal, organizational policy, or other implications to the County of Monterey.
FINANCING:
Service charges are imposed to pay for services rendered. The approximate annual service charge for a typical single-family dwelling in each area is shown on Attachment 1.
