CONSENT
To: Board of Directors
From: Robert Mescher
Date: June 05, 2013
Subject: Consideration of Resolutions Continuing Electric and Water
Standby Charges
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This item concerns continuing electric and water standby charges in Nevada and
Placer Counties through the District resolutions. Only the Board can adopt these
resolutions.
1�1111:I611101:vi
The District levies standby charges on vacant parcels for electric and water service.
The purpose of the standby charge is to collect revenues to help pay operating and
maintenance expenses. The idea is that vacant lots benefit by being in close proximity
to water and electric lines, and should, therefore, contribute to operation and
maintenance of those lines.
Each year the Board is required to adopt resolutions establishing electric and water
standby charges and requesting Nevada and Placer Counties to collect the charges on
the annual property tax bills.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The District has not changed the standby rates in many years, and no changes to the
charges are being proposed at this time. The parcel lists are currently in preliminary
form only. Final lists will be on record with the Counties and the Administrative
Services Department.
Attachment 1 contains four resolutions required to continue assessing standby
charges and place them on Nevada and Placer County tax rolls. Resolution 2013-AA
is for continuing the electric standby charge for 2013-2013. Resolution 2013-BB is for
continuing the water standby charge for 2012-2013 . Resolutions 2013-CC and 2013-
DD request Nevada and Placer Counties to collect the charges.
The water standby charge does not apply to vacant parcels in the Donner Lake service
area nor in the Glenshire service area.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated revenue for this action is:
Nevada County Standby Charges for 2013-2014 will be approximately:
Electric $ 24,890
Water $154,160
Total Parcels: 2,324
Placer County Standby Charges for 2013-2014 will be approximately:
Electric $ 490
Water $4,480
Total Parcels: 85
5. RECOMMENDATION

a) Resolution No. 2013-07 - Continuing and Fixing Electric Standby Charges for
Fiscal Year 2013-2014
