SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On July 9, 2024, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Monterey, acting as the Board of Directors of the Pajaro County Sanitation District, adopted Ordinance No. 5420, amending Section 16 of the Pajaro County Sanitation District (PCSD) Ordinance No. 05054 to provide for the collection of sewer charges through the County of Monterey (County) Property Tax Roll beginning with Fiscal Year 2024-25.
A Resolution has been prepared to collect annual PCSD sewer service charges on the County Property Tax Roll in compliance with State and County Requirements. As required, the Resolution contains a report of sewer service charges for the property owners of record in the PCSD (Attachment A).
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Placement of annual assessments on the County Property Tax Roll is facilitated by the Auditor-Controller’s Office.
FINANCING:
Internal expenses for the collection of sewer charges are minimal and include staff time to prepare the annual staff report to the Board of Supervisors and proposed Resolution. The Auditor Controller’s Office charges administration costs of ¼ of 1% of revenue collected on the County Property Tax Roll. The estimated 2025-26 revenue from PCSD sanitation billing is $1,589,776 resulting in an estimated charge by the Auditor-Controller of $3,967.
