Attest: Phil Ostchekv. Clerk of the B0.0 of Supervisors and County AdministtAto BY Qe y i 2 00254 EXHIBIT "A" i RESOLUTION NO . RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ORDER IMPROVEMENT IN CASTLE ROCK ASSESSMENT DISTRICT, CONTRA COSTA WATER DISTRICT The Board of Directors of the Contra Costa Water District resolves: This Board intends to order the following improvement under the authority of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913: The construction of a reservoir, pump station and pipelines for the purpose of providing a system of domestic water supply to the land within the assessment district boundary shown on figure 1, together with all necessary appurtenances and the acquisition of all necessary interests in real property . This Board of Directors finds that the land specially benefited by the improvement is shown within the boundaries of the map entitled, Castle Rock Assessment District, Contra Costa Water District, County of Contra Costa, State of California . This map has been approved by the Board of Directors and is now on file with the 11 ,• Clerk to the Board of Directors . The land within the exterior boundaries shown on the map shall be designated Castle Rock Assessment District, Contra Costa Water District, County of Contra Costa, State of California . This Board intends to levy a special adtessment upon the land within the described district in accordance with the special benefit to be received by each parcel of land, respectively, from the improvement . There shall be omitted from special assessment all public streets, alleys and places and all land belonging to the United States, the State of California, the County of Contra Costa, the City of Walnut Creek and this Water District now in use in the .performa.nce _of -a publicfunction . 00255 Where any disparity occurs in level or size between the improvement and private property, this Board determines that it is in the public interest and more economical to eliminate the disparity by doing work on the private property instead of adjusting the work on public property . Accordingly, work may be done on private property for this purpose with the written consent of the landowner . Private utility damages, as described in Chapter 8 .5 (commencing with Section 1501) of Part 1 of Division 1 of the Public Utilities Code, shall be included as a cost of the improvement to be specially assessed .

This Board finds that -the Special -Assessment 'Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (commencing with Section 2800, Streets and Highways Code) does not apply to these proceedings . This Board of Directors appoints D. B . Flett and Associates, Inc . as Engineer of Work for this project, and directs the preparation of the report required by Section 10204 of the Streets and Highways Code . I In the opinion of this Board, the public interest will not 2 00256 be served by allowing owners of assessable lands to enter into a contract for the work of improvement as otherwise permitted in Section 20485 of the Public Contract Code . The amount of any surplus remaining in the improvement fund after completion of the improvement and payment of all claims shall be transferred to the general fund if the surplus does not exceed the lesser of one thousand dollars ($1000) or five percent (5%) of the total amount expended from the fund . Otherwise the entire surplus shall be applied as a credit on the assessment as provided in Section 10427 .1 of the Streets and Highways Code .
