Title
Ordinance proposing the creation of Lake County Special Service Area (SSA) 18 and providing for a public hearing and other procedures in connection therewith the Del Mar Woods Subdivision, an unincorporated area within Lake County.
Staff Summary
* The Del Mar Woods Sanitary District was created in the 1970s with the sole purpose of installing and maintaining a sanitary sewer system within the Del Mar Woods Subdivision. The district has since become dormant with no appointees and no assessment for the long term maintenance and management of the sanitary sewer system.
* The creation of Lake County Special Service (SSA) 18 is the first step in the replacement of the functions of the dormant Del Mar Woods Sanitary District. The Lake County Department of Public Works has expertise in the area of sanitary sewer operations and maintenance and the funds from SSA 18 will be utilized by the Lake County Department of Public Works for the operation, maintenance, improvement and possible future replacement of the sanitary sewer infrastructure located within the Del Mar Woods Subdivision.
* Further, this Special Service Area also has the ability to provide for future maintenance of stormwater infrastructure within the Del Mar Woods Subdivision.
* Should this SSA 18 creation be approved, County staff will then begin work on the formal dissolution of the Del Mar Woods Sanitary District in a separate process.
* If the Board approves this proposing ordinance, notice of the public hearing will be sent by publication and regular mail to the taxpayers in Del Mar Woods, and a hearing will be held by the Public Works and Transportation Committee, which shall hear and determine all protests and objections, and following that hearing and a 60-day petition period, the Lake County Board will establish the boundaries, record the ordinance, and set an annual levy on the properties listed within the Ordinance.
