Report Title: ADOPT Resolution confirming Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Final Annual Report for County Service Area T-1 and Levying the Service Charges, Danville area.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. ACCEPT the filing of the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Final Annual Report on service charges in County Service Area (CSA) T-1 (“Final Annual Report”), a copy of which is attached.
2. ADOPT a Resolution confirming the Final Annual Report and levying the service charges set forth in the report.
3. DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to file certified copies of the Final Annual Report and Resolution with the County Auditor-Controller.
4. DIRECT the County Auditor-Controller to include the service charges on the property tax roll for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the service charge for each parcel to appear as a separate item on the tax bill, pursuant to County Ordinance Code section 1012-2.614.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The levy of the annual service charges in CSA T-1 will provide revenues for public transit services. The CSA T-1 total revenue was $693,042.68 for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and will be $709,431.78 in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The increase is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the San Francisco Bay Area (All Urban Consumers). The annual service charges for CSA T-1 will be levied on 1,187 parcels in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. The service charge was $526.93/developed equivalent dwelling unit in Fiscal Year 2023-2024 and will be $539.39/developed equivalent dwelling unit in Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
BACKGROUND:
The maximum service charges may be adjusted annually to reflect 2% or the prior year’s change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers, whichever is greater.
On July 9, 2024, the Board of Supervisors conducted a public hearing and adopted a Resolution confirming the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Tentative Annual Report on proposed service charges for CSA T-1. CSA T-1 provides funding for public transit services.
On July 1, 2024, the County Assessor released the official assessor roll for Contra Costa County for Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Thereafter, pursuant to Section 1012-2.612 of the County Ordinance Code, the Public Works Director directed staff to determine whether the Tentative Annual Report required revision to conform to the official assessor roll. Any change to an estimated basic service charge or estimated service charge notated in the Tentative Annual Report may only be accommodated as a result of changes in ownership, changes of address, the subdivision of an existing parcel or changes in the land use code of a parcel. Upon review of the official assessor roll, staff determined that no revisions to the Tentative Annual Report were required to conform to the official assessor roll. The Tentative Annual Report is the Final Annual Report. See Attachment 1.
The Board may confirm the Final Annual Report by resolution. This resolution serves to confirm the Final Annual Report and constitutes the levy of the service charge for Fiscal Year 2024-2025.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If a resolution confirming the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Final Annual Report is not adopted, service charges for CSA T-1 would not be levied or collected in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. Therefore, CSA T-1 would be unable to provide funding for public transit services and an alternate source of funding would have to be identified.
