2.

Key Facts

1.

The Redwood City/District Agreement requires the City to approve annexations into the District. Redwood City has consented to the proposed annexation.

 

2.

This Supplemental Agreement provides that the Lands of Brett will be included in the Service Area of the District.

 

3.

A public hearing to consider an annexation to the District is required pursuant to Section 5820 et seq. of the Streets & Highway Code.

 

Discussion

David C. Brett, current owner of the property located within Redwood City at 1711 East Bayshore Road and identified by Assessor's Parcel Number 054-030-190/230/250, has requested that it be annexed to the District for the purpose of receiving sewer service.

 

The City of Redwood City has adopted Resolution No. 14124 consenting to the proposed annexation and a Third Supplement to the Redwood City/District Transmission Agreement once annexation is complete.

 

The Public Hearing for the proposed annexation has been properly noticed and the appropriate description prepared and we are therefore recommending that the annexation be approved.

 

Vision Alignment

We believe out recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitments to " Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All" and to be a "Responsive, Effective and Collaborative Government;" and Goal Number 7, "Maintain and Enhance the Public Safety for All Residents and Visitors," as approving the annexation will provide cost effective sanitary sewer service to a structure that would otherwise require the construction of a parallel sewer line to serve this single parcel.

 

Fiscal Impact

The property owner has paid or will pay all required fees for the parcel as follows:

 

    ·

Annexation Processing Fee: $400

    ·

The FOSMD Connection Fees: $2,863

    ·

The State Board of Equalization's Recording and Mapping Fee: $350

    ·

Sewer Inspection Permit Fee: $50

    ·

Redwood City's Wastewater Capacity Fee: $1,666

    ·

Redwood City's Sewer Facilities Fee: $2,400

 

The property owner will be subject to the annual sewer service charge in the FOSMD (currently $188 per year), and will provide and pay for any necessary sewer main or sewer lateral needed to connect the property to the District's facilities.

 

There is no impact on the County General Fund.
