The Assessment District process is nearing completion. A Preliminary Engineer's Report was completed, and a series of public meetings were conducted, to provide industries (industry beneficiaries which will be assessed), the opportunity to learn about the costs of upland disposal, the factors used to apportion costs according to benefit and subsequently hove the assessments were derived. The Assessment process, in part through the Public greetings, allows the assessees the opportunity to inform the assessor if there are factual inaccuracies. Industry provided to the County detail as to parcels not included in marine operations as well as vessel use data. The data has been evaluated, determined to be valid and the Engineer's Report will become more factually correct with it's inclusion. This in turn requires the Engineer of Record to do additional work on the benefit apportionment, and the assessments will be modified, necessitating a revised notice to be seat to those included in the Assessment District. A final draft Engineer's Report is currently being completed. Both Mr, Cheney and Cllr. Mallon have been involved in the Assessment District originally proposed by the fort of Stockton and have been the primary architects of its current version. Mr. Cheney has been under contract with the County for some years, to provide engineering expertise for the County's ship channel navigation projects. The increase to his contract should see the JPA/Assessment process through to its conclusion, and allow for some minor work on related ship channel navigation projects. Mr. Mallon has been under contract to the County since 1998, to allow the County Water Agency to utilize his services on contract negotiation and related activities for the ship channel projects. The contract increase will allow for completion of his work on the JPA/Assessment project, and, if necessary, to remain involved in contract negotiation on the other ship channel improvement projects, should this become necessary in 1999.
