Take the following actions regarding the Skylark Lane Emergency Fire Escape Road (EFER) Permanent Road Division (PRD), Skylark Lane EFER No. 2 PRD, and Skylark Lane EFER No. 3 PRD: (1) Adopt a resolution which consolidates Skylark Lane EFER PRD, Skylark Lane EFER No. 2 PRD and Skylark Lane EFER No. 3 PRD into Skylark Lane EFER PRD; (2) receive the maintenance cost estimate; and (3) receive the County Surveyor’s report on the boundary description (in the form of a map). (Page 212)

Consolidation is proposed for three PRD’s.

The Skylark Lane Emergency Fire Escape Road (EFER) extends from Skylark Lane to Maynard Road in the Palo Cedro area.  It was constructed in conjunction with a subdivision.  Two subsequent developments were conditioned to use the same EFER.  The seven benefitting parcels contribute to EFER maintenance through three separate PRD’s with varying assessments (see table below).  Staff proposes to consolidate all three PRD’s into a single Skylark Lane EFER PRD with uniform parcel charges of $515 per parcel per year. PRD Formation Date No. Parcels Annual Parcel Charge Skylark Lane EFER PRD October 15, 2013 3 $1050 Skylark Lane EFER No. 2 PRD April 22, 2014 3 $525 Skylark Lane EFER No. 3 PRD July 19, 2016 1 $515

The Board may decline to proceed with the consolidation.  Equity and economies of scale will be foregone.

County Counsel has approved the resolution as to form. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

PRD’s are funded through annual parcel charges.  There is no General Fund impact.
