RECOMMENDATION

Take the following actions on behalf of County Service Area (CSA) No. 25-Keswick Water: (1) Adopt a resolution which requests initiation of Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) proceedings to annex two parcels into CSA No. 25-Keswick Water; and (2) find the annexation to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319.

SUMMARY

Two property owners have requested annexation into CSA No. 25 – Keswick Water.

DISCUSSION

County Service Area No. 25 – Keswick Water (CSA No. 25) provides water in the Keswick area. Two property owners have requested annexation into CSA No. 25.  One parcel already receives water service from CSA No. 25 without actually being in the district.  The other has an unreliable well.  The attached resolution would initiate an application to LAFCO.  The process will likely result in tax exchange negotiations with Shasta Community Services District.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may decline to adopt the proposed resolution.  The application to LAFCO would be incomplete and the annexation would not move forward.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

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

FINANCING

The parcel owners are paying review, inspection and annexation fees.  There is no General Fund impact.
