CATEGORY:  Scheduled Hearings - Public Works-6.

SUBJECT:

Permanent Road Divisions – Annual Parcel Charge Reports

Supervisorial District No. :  All

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

STAFF REPORT APPROVED BY:  Pat Minturn, Public Works Director

RECOMMENDATION

Take the following actions on behalf of Permanent Road Divisions (PRDs):  (1) Conduct a public hearing; (2) close the public hearing; (3) adopt a resolution which confirms the Annual Parcel Charge Reports for the various PRDs in Shasta County in the same amount as currently charged, except where noted; and (4) direct that the parcel charges be placed on the property tax bills for Fiscal Year 2018-19.

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

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 2018-19 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 2018-19 budgets for the various PRDs.  There is no General Fund impact.
