Therefore, there is no impact on the County General Fund. BACKGROUND: On September 1, 1998, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 98/438 approving the formation of the Wiedemann Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) and appointed itself to serve as the GHAD Board of Directors. The Elworthy Ranch development (Subdivision 9009) is located APPROVE OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE Action of Board On: 10/28/2014 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER Clerks Notes: VOTE OF SUPERVISORS AYE:John Gioia, District I Supervisor Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor Mary N.

ATTESTED: October 28, 2014 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: D. 6 To:Board of Supervisors From:Patricia E. Curtin, GHAD Attorney and General Manager Date:October 28, 2014 Contra Costa County Subject:Hearing to adopt Resolution No. 2014/05 accepting tabulation of mail-in ballots for Weidemann GHAD BACKGROUND: (CONT'D) to the west of San Ramon Valley Boulevard in the Town on Danville. Eighty-four single family homes and 13 apartment units along with appurtenant improvements are planned for the development. Due to the potential for geologic hazards and related required ongoing maintenance, the Conditions of Approval for the Elworthy Ranch development, require that it be included within a GHAD. To satisfy this requirement, the developer of the Elworthy Ranch development petitioned the GHAD Board to annex the area into the GHAD. The territory to be annexed pursuant to the Petition for Annexation is currently owned by the developer and individual homeowners. The boundaries of the territory to be annexed and the boundaries of the Elworthy Ranch development are the same. In connection with the annexation, a plan of control was prepared. The Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control is separate from the Wiedemann Ranch Plan of Control and describes the work contemplated for the Elworthy Ranch development, including maintenance and monitoring activities, including slopes, retaining walls, subdrains, storm drain facilities, and concrete lined drainage ditches. Funding for the GHAD activity on the annexed area will be based on an annual assessment, and such funds will be collected and used in connection with the Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control. The proposed assessment is supported by a detailed Engineer’s Report prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California, and will be considered in accordance with Proposition 218. The proposed assessment does not impact or change the existing assessments for the current landowners in the GHAD. On June 3, 2014 the GHAD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2014/02 which fixed a public hearing for July 29, 2014 to consider the proposed annexation of territory into the GHAD and the proposed Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control, and hear any written objections thereto; and directed the GHAD Clerk to mail a written notice of the hearing to consider the proposed annexation and the proposed Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control to each owner of real property as required by GHAD law. Written notices were mailed accordingly. On July 29, 2014 the GHAD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2014/03 approving the annexation of the Elworthy Ranch development into the GHAD and approving and adopting the Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control. The Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control describes the work contemplated for the development, including maintenance, monitoring and funding. Funding for the GHAD will be based on a parcel assessment from each improved lot in the development, which funding will be collected and used in accordance with the Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation Plan of Control. The GHAD improvements are distributed, as set forth in the Engineer’s Report. Maintenance and protection of these improvements will provide a special benefit to all property owners within the Elworthy Ranch development. The annexed residential properties will receive substantially proportional special benefit based on the average square footage for each residential product type (single-family residences and apartments). In order to require the annexed territory to provide funding for the Wiedemann Ranch GHAD, it is necessary to approve an assessment. The methodology for the proposed assessment is set forth in the Engineer’s Report. Based on the estimated expenses for on-going operations, and allowing for larger geologic events at 20-year intervals, a budget was prepared for the purpose of estimating the initial assessment levels. The Engineer’s Report describes the recommended assessment limit. This limit will escalate annually to reflect inflation. On September 9, 2014 the GHAD Board of Directors adopted Resolution 2014/04 declaring the intention to order an assessment for the annexed territory of the Elworthy Ranch development to the Wiedemann Ranch GHAD and fixed a public hearing date for October 28, 2014. No later than three (3) days after the adoption of Resolution 2014/04, the GHAD Clerk mailed the “Notice of Adoption of Resolution” to each owner of real property (as shown on the last equalized property tax roll of the County) to be annexed to the Wiedemann Ranch GHAD as shown on the boundary map. The sealable ballot and the Engineer’s Report were attached to the Notice. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The GHAD will not have funding to provide maintenance services to the area within the Elworthy Ranch development. CLERK'S ADDENDUM CLOSED the hearing; and ADOPTED Resolution No. 2014/05 accepting tabulation of mail-in ballots, considering any objections, confirming assessment, and authorizing the levy and collection of the assessment for the annexed territory of the Elworthy Ranch development to the Wiedemann Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (“GHAD”).

INTRODUCTION The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors formed the Wiedemann Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (“GHAD” or “District”) on September 1, 1998 (Resolution No. 98/438), under the authority of the California Public Resources Code, Division 17, Section 26500 et seq. The GHAD Board of Directors approved the annexation of the Elworthy Ranch development into the GHAD on July 29, 2014 (“GHAD Annexation Area”). The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors act as the Board of Directors of the GHAD. II. BACKGROUND The developer of the Elworthy Ranch development site (“Site”) has submitted the Wiedemann Ranch GHAD Plan of Control – Elworthy Ranch Development Annexation (“Plan of Control”) that describes the GHAD’s responsibilities to permanently monitor and maintain GHAD improvements within the GHAD Annexation Area. This Engineer’s Report describes the establishment of an assessment level to fund GHAD activities necessary or incidental to geologic hazard mitigation, abatement and control. III. GEOLOGIC HAZARD ABATEMENT DISTRICT BOUNDARIES The boundaries for the GHAD Annexation Area are shown in the legal description and plats attached hereto as Exhibit A. IV. SERVICE LEVELS The GHAD’s activities are those that are necessary or incidental to the prevention, mitigation, abatement, or control of geologic hazards including construction, maintenance, repair, or operation of any improvement; and the issuance and servicing of bonds issued to finance any of the foregoing. The GHAD provides for the administration and review of facilities within the budgeted limits, including the following services: 1. Oversight of GHAD operations, including reporting to the GHAD Board of Directors. 4079.000.000 August 26, 2014 -4- 2. In conjunction with the County Assessor’s Office, setting the annual levying of assessments on the property tax rolls. 3. Engagement of technical professionals to perform the monitoring duties as described in the Plan of Control. 4. Performance of GHAD maintenance activities in accordance with the Plan of Control. These maintenance activities include: • Monitoring of developer or GHAD constructed retaining walls and maintenance, if structural integrity of a wall or adjacent structure(s) is threatened. • Water detention basin facility maintenance, including access road. • Maintenance of bioretention facility adjacent to intersection of Elworthy Ranch Circle and Street “S”. • Maintenance of lined and unlined drainage ditches in developed areas and open space. • Vegetation control within open space (Parcels “P” and “T”). • Maintenance of drainage facilities within the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) trailhead parking lot area (Parcel “S”) that directly impact the GHAD Annexation Area. • Maintenance of storm drain system improvements, subdrains, and subdrain outlets in open space (Parcels “P” and “T”). • Trail and fire break maintenance on Parcels “P” and “T”. • Vertical curb, curb, and guard rail on Street “S” on Parcel “P”. 5. The GHAD will also have maintenance, monitoring and repair responsibilities for slopes, which will include natural, reconstructed or partially reconstructed landslides. 6. Preparation of annual GHAD budgets for approval by the GHAD Board of Directors. V. DESCRIPTION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS MAINTAINED BY THE GHAD The GHAD-maintained improvements are described in the Plan of Control. In general, these improvements include water quality facilities; drainage systems, including lined ditches in developed areas and open space; open-space storm drain inlets and outlets; subdrains and outlets; retaining walls; access roadways; and drainage facilities within the EBRPD trailhead parking lot area. 4079.000.000 August 26, 2014 -5- VI. ASSESSMENT METHOD With the exception of the EBRPD trailhead parking lot area, the improvements and GHAD responsibilities described in Section V are distributed within the GHAD Annexation Area. The improvements described in this document will confer the following special benefits to the assessed parcels: 1. Protection from slope instability 2. Protection from erosion due to uncontrolled surface water 3. Protection of water quality 4. Protection from wild land fires associated due to unmanaged vegetation The GHAD assessment is distributed among all residential property owners within the GHAD Annexation Area. The improvements and responsibilities listed in Section V provide specific benefits to the properties within the GHAD Annexation Area and the improvements are constructed for the benefit of those assessed and not the general public. As listed above and in Section 3.3 of the Plan of Control, the GHAD will monitor and maintain drainage facilities within the EBRPD staging area parking lot on Parcel “S”. Although this area is outside the GHAD boundary, the maintenance of these facilities (including drainage pipes, two rock-lined outfall aprons, an earth swale, and an erosion control blanketed area) is necessary to reduce the potential for uncontrolled stormwater infiltration, erosion, and other potential geologic hazards that could affect properties and improvements within the GHAD Annexation Area. Single-family residential lots are assessed as one unit. Apartments are assessed as one-half unit. The GHAD Annexation Area consists of 84 single-family residences and 13 apartments. With each apartment assessed at one-half unit, there are a total of 90½ equivalent units within the Site. The total number of equivalent residential units within the GHAD Annexation Area was considered in light of the annual GHAD Annexation Area budget in developing the annual assessment amount. The Engineer hereby finds that residential properties within the GHAD Annexation Area receive substantially proportional special benefit based on the average square footage for each residential product type (Single-family residences and apartments). Within the GHAD Annexation Area, the average square footage of the apartments is approximately one-half the square footage of the average single-family residential unit. A financial analysis was performed to provide a framework for an operating budget for the on-going abatement, mitigation, prevention and control of geologic hazards within the GHAD Annexation Area. In preparation of the budget, several factors were considered including: • Site geology • Remedial grading • Proximity of geologic hazards to proposed residences 4079.000.000 August 26, 2014 -6- • Improvements or structures • Site access considerations • Elements Requiring Routine Maintenance, including: 1. Surface Drainage Facilities 2. Graded Slopes 3. Retaining Walls 4. Bioretention and Detention Basin Facilities 5. Trails and Fire Breaks VII. ASSESSMENT - BUDGET The purpose of this Engineer’s Report is to establish the assessment level and the apportionment of the assessment within the GHAD Annexation Area as required under Proposition 218. The annual budget in each subsequent fiscal year will apprise the GHAD Board of Directors of the estimated budget for the upcoming year. Based on the estimated expenses for on-going operations, and allowing for larger (approximately $1,000,000) geologic events at 20-year intervals, a budget was prepared for the purpose of estimating initial assessment levels (Exhibit B). The Engineer recommends an annual assessment limit for the GHAD Annexation Area of $1,360.00 per detached single-residential and $680.00 per apartment unit (Fiscal Year 2014/15 dollars). The proposed initial assessment level will be automatically adjusted annually on June 30 to reflect the percentage change in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Consumers Price Index for All Urban Consumers. While the assumptions and estimated expenses listed in Exhibit B were used to determine the assessment levels for the GHAD Annexation Area, they do not represent the actual budget for any one year of the GHAD’s operation, since assessment of the individual parcels will be based on the issuance of building permits, which will occur over a number of years. In addition, the Engineer anticipates that the projected expense amounts will be reached over time and that these amounts will be inflation-adjusted in the year that the expenses occur. The developer of the Site shall contribute to the GHAD an amount equal to 19 percent of the total cumulative reserve amount in the GHAD at the time the annexation resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors on July 29, 2014 or at the time of transfer whichever is less (“Buy-in Contribution”). The Buy-in Contribution is based on the percentage of residential parcels in the GHAD Annexation Area as compared to the remaining GHAD. The GHAD Annexation Area contains 90½ equivalent parcels and the remaining GHAD has 474 parcels subject to a GHAD assessment. On July 29, 2014 the GHAD had a total cumulative reserve amount of $2,796,018; therefore, the developer of the Site will be required to make a maximum Buy-in Contribution of $531,124 at the time of transfer (Plan of Control - Exhibit B). The Buy-in Contribution shall be provided to the GHAD prior to its acceptance of the monitoring and maintenance responsibilities for the GHAD Annexation Area. Funds collected 4079.000.000 August 26, 2014 -7- and remaining from the levy of assessments during the period that the developer is responsible for performing monitoring and maintenance activities shall be applied to meet the required Buy-in Contribution. In addition, receivables from the Contra Costa County Tax Collector will be considered as part of the Buy-in Contribution. VIII. DEVELOPER RESPONSIBILITIES The developer of the Site is responsible for managing and maintaining the GHAD Annexation Area until the GHAD accepts responsibility for the GHAD Improvements as set forth in the Plan of Control. In addition, the developer is responsible for funding any necessary GHAD functions or business undertaken for the GHAD Annexation Area that the GHAD Officers or Board of Directors determine are necessary before the GHAD accepts the GHAD Improvements. If the developer fails to fund all or a portion of these costs during, these costs shall be covered by the funds generated by and for the GHAD Annexation Area (i.e., through the assessment) and the developer shall be required to reimburse the GHAD for such costs before the GHAD can accept monitoring and maintenance responsibilities for the GHAD Improvements. The GHAD may utilize funds generated by or for the GHAD Annexation Area to conduct any necessary GHAD functions or business for the GHAD Annexation Area required before the GHAD accepts the GHAD improvements. Such functions and business can include periodic reporting to the GHAD Board of Directors and work performed by GHAD Officers to verify the GHAD is implemented in accordance with the Plan of Control and GHAD Law. 4079.000.000 August 26, 2014 EXHIBIT A Legal Description and Plats to Accompany Legal Description PARCEL S SUBD/V/S/OiY 9009 515 M 1 9 PARC[L A -N- o 200 ~ ( IN FEET) 1 inch = 200 ft.
