SD 15 CAC (via ES) By .'t)ePu1�l ..j Sanitation District No. 15 November 5, 1991 Page Two II. Financiallmpact: The above actions have no impact on County finances. County services to Sanitation District No. 15 are funded entirely by the annual sewer and water service charges. III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: Each year the County Sanitation Districts are required to set by Ordinance the annual sewer and water service charges. Government Code Section 54992 describes what steps are necessary before such an ordinance can'be adopted. In March 1991 Superior Court Order #C89-03135 eliminated "Dry Boat Storage" as a service charge item for Sanitation District 15, increased the "Public Boat Launching Facility" unit charge multiplier, and decreased the "Boat Berth Space (Wet Berths)" unit charge multiplier. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: The District would be unable to collect sewer and water service fees for Fiscal Year 1991-92. The collection and water treatment of sewage is necessary to protect the public health and the environment. A safe, dependable, potable water supply is also essential. If the District is unable to collect the service fees it would have to borrow money to provide these services, and future service charges will have to be increased to repay the borrowed money.
