FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). This revision will correct the annual service charge for road maintenance for parcels in CSA 70, Zone R-12 Baldwin Lake, from $38.23 per parcel to the correct amount of $438.23 per parcel. Correcting the fee will ensure adequate revenue of $14,462, instead of $1,262, is collected in fiscal year 2025-26, which will continue to be used to offset the costs of providing services. Appropriation and revenue related to the fee is included in the 2025-26 Budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On April 8, 2025 (Item No. 68), the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. SD 25-03, establishing fees and charges for Fiscal Year 2025-26 for all Board-Governed County Service Areas and their Zones. As part of that ordinance, the Board approved an annual service charge for road maintenance for parcels in CSA 70, Zone R-12 Baldwin Lake.
Due to an inadvertent administrative error, Ordinance No. SD 25-03 incorrectly listed the annual service charge for Fiscal Year 2025-26 for CSA 70, Zone R-12 Baldwin Lake as $38.23 per parcel instead of the correct intended amount of $438.23 per parcel, which was previously $427.54 per parcel in Fiscal Year 2024-25 (a 2.5% increase from prior year).
The proposed ordinance corrects Section 3, subsection (a)(10), of Ordinance No. SD 25-03 to reflect the accurate and previously intended annual service charge of $438.23 per parcel. This revision ensures the County Code accurately reflects the intended rate, utilizing the August 19, 2008 (Item No. 51) Board-approved rate calculation methodology for CSA 70, Zone R-12- Baldwin Lake, which included annual service charge increases by 2.5%, and allows for proper collection of the service charge.
A public hearing is required to revise the annual service charge established by ordinance. Following the hearing, the Board may approve introduction of the ordinance and schedule it for final adoption.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
