REPORT TO SHASTA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

BOARD MEETING DATE:  January  23, 2018
CATEGORY:  Consent - Public Works-11.

SUBJECT:

CSA No. 6-Jones Valley Water - Re-establish CAB

Supervisorial District No. :  3

DEPARTMENT CONTACT:  Pat Minturn, Public Works Director, (530) 225-5661

STAFF REPORT APPROVED BY:  Pat Minturn, Public Works Director

RECOMMENDATION

On behalf of County Service Area (CSA) No. 6-Jones Valley Water, adopt a resolution which: (1) Repeals Resolution No. 2017-067 Suspending Operations of the CSA No. 6-Jones Valley Water Community Advisory Board (CAB); and (2) re-establishes the CSA No. 6-Jones Valley Water CAB.

SUMMARY

It is recommended that the Board re-establish the CSA No. 6-Jones Valley CAB.

DISCUSSION

County Service Areas provide water and sewer services in rural areas.  The Board of Supervisors is the governing body.  Board Resolution No. 84-6 established CABs to provide the Board with local input.  Last year, CSA No. 6-Jones Valley Water became insolvent and the CAB lacked a quorum due to waning participation.  The Board subsequently adopted Resolution No. 2017-067 suspending operation of the CAB and Ordinance No. 732 implementing a new rate structure.  CAB candidates have since come forward.  It is recommended that the Board re-establish the CAB.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may decline to re-establish the CAB at this time.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

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

FINANCING

The Board has directed that CSAs shall be self-supporting.  CSA No. 6-Jones Valley Water is insolvent so there has been a temporary impact to the General Fund.  A new rate structure has been implemented pursuant to Ordinance No. 732.
