ONTi UE the Public Hearing for the San Fran isco to Stockton, California (Suisun Bay
Channel and New York Slough Channel) Maintenance Assessment District 1999-1, to
November 16, 1999, 11:00 PM, to allow refinement of data relative to parcels and vessel

None.
As part of the process of formation of the assessment district, the County Water Agency
held three informal public meetings for interested parties, including industries that are
charnel beneficiaries which would be assessed for maintenance costs as part of thi's
process. These meetings provided an opportunity to learn more about specific costs
assodated with dredging andisposal and how the benefit assessment allocations were
accomplished. The Engineer's deport details information on costs associated with
maintenance dredging and provides several options for disposal, as well. as detail on bow
costs were to be allocated among industry users. The benefit assessment allocation
considers a, variety of factors, such: as parcel acreage, channel fret footage, vessel trips,
vessel tonnage, and a channel usage (distance) factor. The variety and weighting of
factors considered reflects the complexity of a formula determined to be necessary to be
fair among the variety of users.

Several of the industries provided updated parcel data and detail on parcels which are
not related to marine use in any way (baseball fields, a credit union, wetlands, etc.),
and which, in their opinion, should not be included in assessment calculations. Vessel
use information
. which may require some minor modification in the Engineer's Report
was also provided. The engineer of record, the consulting attorney on this project,
and staff reviewed this information, have confirmed its validity and determined that the
Engineer's Report and consequently, the Assessment District would be more accurate
and consistent if this information were included. There are several instances where
removal of parcels not related to marine use may be significant enough; to affect benefit
apportionnient and require re-noticing. Continuation of this Public Hearing will allow
staff and consultants to make necessary changes and to re-notice if required.
