By adoption of Ordinance No. OCSD-41, the Board of Directors elected to adopt, impose, and collect rates and charges for sanitary sewer services and facilities provided by the District and established procedures related thereto. The sanitary sewer service charges were set by Ordinance No OCSD-41. B. California Health & Safety Code Section 5473 provides that such charges, as adopted by District Ordinance, may be collected on the County tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with, and not separate from, its general taxes. C. As part of the budget preparation process, the District's Management has prepared financial and engineering reports, setting forth financial projections for providing the wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services and facilities to the District's service areas for Fiscal Year 2015-16 through 2017-18. The charges established by Ordinance No. OCSD-41 reflect an allocation of the costs of operation and maintenance, such that the charges do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs to provide the wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal services and facilities, and the revenues received are not used for any other purpose. D. Pursuant to California Constitution Article XlllD (Proposition 218), as of July 1, 1997, sanitary sewer service charges may be deemed to be charges for property-related services. The sanitary sewer service charges set by Ordinance No. OCSD-41 comply with the provisions of Article XlllD, in that they do not exceed the cost to the District to provide the service and facilities. The charges are imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs, maintenance, and operating expenses of the District's sewer facilities.
