CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Robert Mescher
Date: May 21, 2014
Subject: Consideration of Scheduling a Public Hearing Related to Adoption
of the Annual Electric and Water Standby Charges
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This matter involves scheduling a public hearing related to adoption of electric and
water standby charges for the 2014-2015 tax year.
2. HISTORY
Owners of vacant lots incur standby charges because they benefit from the location of
the District's electric and water lines. This annual charge helps pay for the vacant
parcel owners' share of the District's operating and maintenance expenses. Standby
rates have not been modified in many years, and there are no proposed changes at
this time.
3. NEW INFORMATION
This item relates to holding a public hearing to consider renewing the existing electric
and water standby charges on vacant parcels in the District. Public notice of the
hearing requires publication of a notice in a newspaper once a week for two
successive weeks, with at least five days between the respective publication dates.
The first notice will be published on May 23rd, and the second notice will be published
on May 30th.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated standby revenue for 2014-2015 is:
Nevada County:
Electric $ 24,100
Water $148,400
Total Parcels: 2,247
Placer County:
Electric $ 490
Water $4,320
Total Parcels: 83
5. RECOMMENDATION
Schedule a public hearing on June 4, 2014 at 6:00 PM for the purpose of receiving
input on the adoption of annual electric and water standby charges.
