This matter involves scheduling a public hearing related to adoption of electric and
water standby charges for the 2016-2017 tax year.
2. HISTORY
Standby charges have been assessed on vacant parcels in the District since 1975.
These annual charges recoup the District's operating and maintenance costs of the

Standby rates have not been modified in many years, and there are no proposed
changes at this time.

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 April 13th, and the second notice will be published
on April 20th.
