TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS GOVERNING BOARD OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION
DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
DATE: August 16, 1994
SUBJECT: REPORT ON JUNE 28, 1994 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ACTION REGARDING
ADVISORY BOARDS, COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS. RECOMMENDATION IS TO
APPROVE CONTINUATION OF STORMWATER UTILITY ASSESSMENT APPEALS
BOARD.
SPECIFIC REgUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE continuation of the Stormwater Utility Assessment Appeals Board.
II. Financial Impact:
Elimination of the Stormwater Utility Assessment Appeals Board would probably increase operating cost by
approximately $1,000 per year.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On June 22, 1993, the Board adopted an ordinance establishing Stormwater Utility Assessments. The
ordinance provides for the creation of an Assessment Appeals Board to hear appeals from individual
property owners regarding their stormwater assessments. Elimination of the Stormwater Utility Assessment
Appeals Board would require the appeals to be heard by the Board of Supervisors.
Last year, the first year stormwater utility assessments were levied, the Appeals Board met one day and
handled approximately ten appeals. The extra administrative cost for handling the same number of appeals
before the Board would be approximately $2,000. On the average, we anticipate the Appeals Board will
meet once a year, and they will handle five appeals each year. The actions of the Appeals Board are
reported to the Board of Supervisors.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Higher operating costs.
