RECOMMENDATION

Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution which: (1) Confirms the Annual Parcel Charge Reports for the various Permanent Road Divisions in Shasta County in the same amount as currently charged, except where noted; and (2) directs that the parcel charges be placed on the property tax bills for Fiscal Year 2017-18.

SUMMARY

A public hearing has been scheduled to consider the Annual Parcel Charge Reports for the Permanent Road Divisions (PRDs).  The proposed parcel charges are the same as last year except where noted.

DISCUSSION

PRDs are formed to fund construction and maintenance of private roads.  Revenue is derived from parcel charges.  It is necessary to conduct a public hearing each year for these parcel charges.  All of these reports and charges are the same as last year except where noted.

 

Public notice of this hearing was provided through a legal notice in the newspaper.  In addition to any oral testimony, written protests or objections, if any, will be presented at the hearing.  Following the public hearing, it is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution confirming the Annual Parcel Charge Reports (see attached Proposed Charges).

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may modify the proposed parcel charges, or eliminate them altogether.  The proposed parcel charges have been designed to meet specific needs within each PRD.  Where parcel charges fund debt service, reduced revenue would lead to loan defaults.  Where parcel charges have been proposed to fund ongoing maintenance, reduced revenue would lead to corresponding reductions in maintenance.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The Auditor-Controller’s Office will include the adopted parcel charges on the Fiscal Year 2017-18 tax bills. County Counsel has reviewed the resolution as to form. The recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FINANCING

Adequate funds are included in the Adopted 2017-18 budgets for the various PRDs.  There is no General Fund impact.
