Discussion re proposed The staff reported on the fees and
consolidation of Districts revenues that would be received in
Nos.3 and 4 connection with the proposed
-
consolidation of County Sanitation
District No.4 into County Sanitation Districts No.3,to be
accomplished in accordance with the policies and procedures for
annexation to County Sanitation District No.3,as provided in
Resolution No.72-6-3.District No.4 would pay the consoli
dation fee çf $630 per acre.The propose~consolidation would
become effective July 1,1974,and during the interim period
District No.4 would pay to District No.3 all operating costs
incurred by District No.3 in treating and disposing of waste
water from District No.4.Subsequent •to July 1,1974,the
consolidated area would .be subject to the tax rates and other
fees and charges in effect in Sanitation District No.3.
14/12/72
The only inequity in the proposal appears to be the area
encompassed by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Seal
Beach which lies within the boundaries of Sanitation District
No.Lj.•Under provisions of the Redevelopment Act the base
assessed valuation for that area has been established at approxi
mately at $636,000 and tax revenues to Sanitation District
No.3 would be received only on that base during the life of
the agency.However,when the total area of Sanitation District
No.14,including that offshore,is considered as a tax base,
the revenue will adequately cover the costs of services by
District No.3.
Several questions were posed to representatives of the
redevelopment agency.Director Culver stated that attorneys
had mentioned that there would be no major trunk sewer lines
to be constructed to serve the area and requested assurance
that this was so.Dennis Courtemarche,Seal Beach City Manager,
stated that no development was expected in this area that would
require lines and that none was planned.It was also pointed
out that in the event Sanitation District No.3 implements a
user charge in lieu of the property tax,the full charge would
apply to the consolidated area,including that within the
redevelopment agency.
Following further discussion,it was moved and seconded that
the Board of Directors of County Sanitation District No.3
adopt a resol~ution authorizing execution of a consolidation
agreement between County Sanitation District No.3 of Orange
County,County Sanitation District No.14 of Orange County,the
City of Seal Beach,and the Redevelopment Agency of the City
-of Seal Beach.Following an indication that the vote for
consolidation would not be unanimous and,therefore,require
additional proceedings,a substitute motion was then moved,
seconded and duly carried:0
That consideration of consolidation of County Sanitation
District No.i-i-into County Sanitation District No.3,in
accordance with the policies and procedures for annexation
to District No.3 as provided in Resolution No.72-6-3,be
continued to the regular meeting on May 10,1972.
Discussion re request to The staff reported on the request
service 20-acre parcel of of Beard Development Company for
land outside of District District No.3.to sewer a 20-acre
boundary parcel of land located adjacent to
the District in the vicinity of
Westminster Avenue and the San Gabriel River.The parcel is
easterly of the San Gabriel River and service of the area by
Orange County would avoid construction of a river crossing.
The area is proposed to be annexed to the City of Long Beach
and any arrangements for sewering would have to be made through
a contractual agreement between Distric~t No.3 and the City.
The joint Districts’Boards would also have to approve the
arrangements pursuant to provisions of the Joint Ownership,
Operation and Construction Agreement.
It is proposed that contractual arrangements with the City of
Long Beach to serve the area require an in-lieu fee equivalent
to the present District No.3 annexation fee;and
that provisions be made to pay District No.3 for annual
maintenance and operating costs.Both charges would be subject
to a surcharge of ten percent.
