The CSA includes two (2) noncontiguous areas known as Carmel Views and Mar Vista. Current active services include street lighting, street and sidewalk maintenance, storm drain maintenance, and providing, operating, and maintaining of facilities for the disposition of storm water.
Property owners living in CSA 47 have expressed interest in establishing an advisory committee to create an open forum for property owners in the CSA to provide input on projects, annual budgets, and other issues related to the services provided to the CSA. Community outreach and recruitment for committee members will be done by Supervisor Adams office via emails, letters and Facebook.
FINANCING:
CSA 47 receives property tax revenue and assessments to be used exclusively for CSA activities. This revenue will be used to fund staff costs associated with the ongoing operations of the advisory committee. Staff activities shall include, but not be limited to, preparation of meeting notices, attendance and minutes at the meetings, research, analysis and reporting on committee requests and recommendations. The annual cost to staff the Committee will vary depending on the level of requests by the committee members. There will be sufficient annual revenue to fund advisory committee activities from year-to-year. Staff plans to return to the board in January to appropriate additional funds for FY 2018 to cover expenditures related to advisory committee activities as well as a guard rail replacement project that will be completed in the current fiscal year.
