REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 1997, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, pursuant to the provisions of Section 26550 of
the Public Resources Code, adopted Resolution No. 97/2.97 and formed the Tradewinds GHAD. The Board of
Supervisors is the Board' of Directors of the GHAD. William B. Wigginton, GEOLEX Inc., has served as
General Manager since 1998. GEOLEX, Inc. has developed the enclosed proposed FY 08/09 Program Budget.
The costs and expenses of maintaining and operating GHAD improvements are assessed against properties
within the boundaries of the GHAD.
The proposed budget indicates that the balance in the District's cash account will increase by approximately
$800 by June 30, 2009 barring any emergency use of funds.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the Board of Supervisors' approval, the GHAD will not have an approved Program Budget as required
in the original formation of the GHAD.

B of open space. The annual assessment of each single family detached unit is $209.60
for a total of$9,642 for the 2008/2009 fiscal year. The Engineers Report reflects a built-
