Body
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Receive, review, and file the report.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
At the request of several Special Districts, the Board of Supervisors has established development impact mitigation fees. The fees are collected, held, and distributed by the County, for the benefit of the individual Districts. The Board voluntarily adopted the fees because the Districts do not have authority to impose such fees independently. As a result, as the agency establishing the fees, the Board of Supervisors is required to meet all of the subsequent reporting requirements in the Mitigation Fee Act ("Act"). The Act requires reports annually and specific findings every five years following the first deposit of the fee. The attached reports include fiscal information that the Act (66006) requires be made public annually. This information was posted to the County's website on November 26, 2018. Pursuant to the Act, the Board of Supervisors must also review the information, not less than two weeks after it is made available to the public. The attachment includes the required information for the following districts:
Cameron Park Community Services District (Fire Protection), Cameron Park Community Services District (Parks and Recreation), Diamond Springs-El Dorado Fire Protection District, El Dorado County Fire Protection District, El Dorado Hills County Water District, Garden Valley Fire Protection District, , Georgetown Fire Protection District, Lake Valley Fire Protection District, Mosquito Fire Protection District, Pioneer Fire Protection District, Rescue Fire Protection District.
Information for the Georgetown Divide Recreation District and the El Dorado Hills Community Services District will be included with their requests for the Board to make the findings required every five years pursuant to California Government Code section 66001, on December 18, 2018.
