End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors (the “Board”) appointed the ad hoc committee for one-way-in, one-way-out communities. The Board has approved the continuation of County Service Area 3 (CSA 3) and budgeted for its continuance. On January 24, 2023, the Board provided direction to Director Dashiell to return to LAFCO regarding the activation of CSA 3 powers, to proceed with the 50% election vote to levy a special assessment with a zone of benefit within CSA 3, and to move forward with acquiring revocable licenses.
Summary of Request:
The initial plan for the pilot program to establish and maintain vital emergency evacuation, and access, routes to and from high-fire risk areas in the Brooktrails area (the “Pilot Program”) was to activate and use CSA 3, which had gone inactive, and to establish a zone of benefit within CSA 3 (the “ZOB”). The ZOB would then be used to establish the area in which a special benefit assessment would be levied. The special benefit assessment would be levied on those properties within the ZOB that receive a special benefit from the establishment and maintenance of the emergency routes.
As County staff worked to put the Pilot Program together, several roadblocks arose regarding the use and activation of CSA 3. Those roadblocks continued to delay the creation and implementation of the Pilot Program. To streamline the Pilot Program and move forward with the creation of the emergency routes, County staff researched other methods to use in the Pilot Program. One such method is to use a special benefit assessment without the use of CSA3 or the ZOB.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide direction to staff.
