Implementation problems relating to the cost of street crossing and equitable cost
sharing were discussed in detail. The following seven options were developed for
consideration by the Board at its regular business meeting.
- Wait until Southwest Gas comes in and joint trench with them to handle the
street crossings.
- Form an assessment district in individual subdivisions that choose to put
existing overhead facilities underground.
- Have the District pay for street crossings and charge a facilities fee or
connection charge.
- Have no underground policy in existing overhead subdivisions.
- Strictly adhere to the policy as adopted.
- Have the District pay for street crossings and public utility easement
crossings for this season and study the option of using assessment districts
and Southwest Gas. Increase the connection fee for this season.
- Consider a policy that relates specifically to the need for low income
housing.
5. Keith Knibb led a discussion of the draft application package for annexation of
Gooseneck Ranch. The environmental documents were distributed to the Directors
and staff offered to help Directors review the documents. The annexation matter
will be placed on the agenda of the regular business meeting as soon as special
counsel has completed review.
