HEARING - Consider recommendations regarding establishing Benefit Assessments for County Service Areas 3, 31, and the Santa Barbara North County Lighting District for Fiscal Year 2019-2020, Second, Third and Fourth Districts, as follows: (EST. TIME: 15 MIN.)
a) Receive and file Benefit Assessment Reports for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 for County Service Area 3, County Service Area 31, and the Santa Barbara North County Lighting District with the Clerk of the Board;
b) Adopt the Resolutions establishing streetlighting charges (no changes proposed), for County Service Areas 3 and 31 for Fiscal Year 2019-2020;
c) Do not establish the benefit assessments (set to zero) in those portions of the Santa Barbara North County Lighting District authorized to do so for Fiscal Year 2019-2020; and
d) Adopt the findings in the Notice of Exemption that the proposed action is for the establishment of benefit assessment rates for services provided by County Service Areas 3 and 31, that no expansion of services or facilities will result, that revenues will be used for meeting operating expenses and financial reserve needs and requirements, and that the action is therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to 14 CCR Section 15273, and direct staff to file and post the Notice of Exemption on that basis.
COUNTY EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE
