FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to Contra Costa County. All costs associated with this action are being assumed by
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District has taken the initial steps toward formation of Reliez Valley AVAD No.
2007-3. Owners on Reliez Valley Road are interested in the formation of this assessment district for the purpose
of extending sewer service to their properties. Reliez Valley Alhambra Valley Assessment District No. 2007-3
would be created by CCCSD which would be responsible for constructing the new sewer as well as levying,
collecting.and enforcement of the assessment to cover the costs of engineering and construction. Construction
of this 1,700 linear feet of sanitary sewer will be a benefit to Contra Costa County and its residents. On
December 6, 2007, CCCSD adopted Resolution No. 2007-188 Requesting Consent to Conduct Assessment
Proceedings for Reliez Valley Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD) No. 2007-3. Consent of Contra
Costa County through the Board of Supervisors is required in order for the formation of the proposed
assessment district to proceed.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Consent by the Board of Supervisors is required in order for the formation of the proposed assessment district to
proceed. Without Board consent, CCCSD will not be able to form the proposed assessment district and
ultimately fund sewer service to 14 properties.

UNINCORPORATED MARTINEZ FOR INSTALLATION OF SEWER
IMPROVEMENTS; ADOPT RESOLUTIONS OF INTENTION TO CREATE RELIEZ

} ISSUE: Owners of properties on Reliez Valley Road in unincorporated Martinez are
interested in connecting their homes to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
(CCCSD) sewer system, and have requested formation of an Alhambra Valley
Assessment District (AVAD) to finance an extension of the public sewer system. Board
approval is required for the AVAD.
RECOMMENDATION: Find that the project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and approve initiating the formation of Reliez Valley
AVAD No. 2007-3.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are administrative costs for initiating the formation of an
AVAD. The AVAD participants eventually will pay these costs if an AVAD is actually
formed.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS: Reject or defer initiating formation of the AVAD.
These actions would halt or delay the AVAD proceedings and would be inconsistent
with the District's efforts to assist property owners who wish to voluntarily convert from
septic systems to public wastewater utility service.
BACKGROUND: Owners of properties located on Reliez Valley Road in unincorporated
Martinez have contacted District staff to obtain information regarding connecting their
homes to CCCSD's public sewer system. A sufficient number of property owners
whose properties could benefit from the extension of a public sewer have expressed
interest in investigating and forming an Alhambra Valley Assessment District (AVAD).
The area where the AVAD would be formed is shown on Attachment 1.

POSITION PAPER
Board Meeting Date: December 6, 2007 { '
subject. CONSIDER THE FORMATION OF AN ALHAMBRA VALLEY ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT (AVAD) FOR PROPERTIES ON RELIEZ VALLEY ROAD IN
UNINCORPORATED MARTINEZ FOR INSTALLATION OF SEWER i
IMPROVEMENTS; ADOPT RESOLUTIONS OF INTENTION TO CREATE RELIEZ
VALLEY AVAD NO. 2007-3 FOR APPROVAL OF THE BOUNDARY, AND
REQUESTING CONSENT OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FOR CCCSD TO
CONDUCT PROCEEDINGS FOR THE AVAD
The initial steps toward creation of Reliez Valley AVAD No. 2007-3 are for the Board of
Directors to adopt a resolution indicating CCCSD's intention to designate an area within
which contractual assessments are appropriate; briefly describing the proposed
financing for the project; establishing the boundaries of the AVAD; setting the time,
date, and place for a public hearing at which interested persons may inquire about or
object to the proposed program; and directing staff to prepare an Engineer's Report
describing the project and financing arrangements.
Additional resolutions are required to approve the boundary of the assessment district
and to request the consent of Contra Costa County for CCCSD to conduct proceedings
for Reliez Valley AVAD No. 2007-3.
Staff has concluded that this project is exempt from CEQA under District CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), since it can be "seen with certainty that there is no
possibility that the activity in question may have a significant adverse effect on the
environment." This certainty is based on the District's past experience with numerous
sewer construction projects of this nature, the relatively short distance involved, and the
District's mitigating construction specifications that would be required of the project.
Approval of this project will establish the Board of Directors' independent finding that
this project is exempt from CEQA.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize formation of an AVAD consisting of 14
properties on Reliez Valley Road by:
1. Adopting a resolution of intention to create Reliez Valley AVAD No. 2007-3 for the
purpose of installing sewer improvements (Exhibit 1);
2. Adopting a resolution approving the boundary of the assessment district (Exhibit 2);
and
3. Adopting a resolution requesting consent from Contra Costa County for CCCSD to
conduct proceedings for Reliez Valley AVAD No. 2007-3 (Exhibit 3).
