Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: June 10, 2005
Subject: Donner Lake Assessment adjustment
Why this matter is before the board: This matter involves exempting a Donner Lake
Assessment District assessment on a parcel which has been merged with an adjacent parcel.
Our practice has been for the board to approve these exemptions.
History: The District is financing reconstruction of the Donner Lake water system by means
of an assessment district. The Donner Lake Assessment District was formed and every
buildable parcel was assessed; whether improved or vacant. Soon after the assessment
were established some owners of vacant parcels who owned adjacent parcels asked if they
merged their two parcels if they could eliminate one of the assessment charges. We agreed
that we would eliminate an assessment if a vacant parcel was merged with an adjacent
parcel.
We were advised by our attorney, John Murphy, that we should consider establishing a date
after which mergers would no longer result in reduction of the assessment. The idea here is
that our financing was determined based on an expectation of receiving a certain revenue
stream needed to pay for the water system improvements, and we established that financing
based on the circumstances existing at the time the financing was set in place. Subsequent
mergers of parcels would erode the revenue stream needed to pay for the improvements.
We never adopted a cut off date for consideration of mergers.
New information: We now have a property owner who has merged two parcels. Julie Chenu
had owned two adjacent parcels, her house being on one of them and the other being vacant.
She was assessed the normal residential rate of $6,952.25 per parcel, payable over twenty
years. Attached is a document from Nevada County Assessor confirming that the two
parcels have been merged, with a new APN 17-321-16-000. Also attached is a draft
resolution which, if adopted by the board would rescind the assessments on APNs 17-321-07
and 17-321-14 and create a new assessment of $6,925.52 on the new parcel. Finally, I have
also attached a map showing the location of the two parcels which are now merged.
Recommendation: I recommend that the board adopt the resolution amending certain
assessments for the Donner Lake Assessment District.
