PUGH March 8, 1976 MARVIN P. BENNETT R. D. "DAN"" GO DOVER BESSIE L. SANDERS To: Shasta County Local Agency Formation Commission From: Bill G. Minton, Executive Officer Subject: Proposal to dissolve Cascade Community Services District and annex its territory to the City of Redding Annexation of territory within boundaries of Cascade Community Services District to City of Redding and a plan of dissolution of District was requested by petition of resident voters residing within boundaries of District. County Clerk certifies there are approximately.1,860 registered voters residing within boundaries of District. There are 344 qualified signatures on petition which constitute more than the five percent requirement. Land area is approximately 3,100 acres with an estimated population of 4,500. Assessed valuation of District is: Land $1,955,430 Improvements 5,132,065 &7,087,495 Cascade CSD (Water 'Service-.& Fire Prot.) Service Charge Street Lighting (Small portion of District) Recreation Garbage Collection Serv. Charge Electricity Present Cost (Tax Rate or Service Charge) $1.40 per $100 $4.00 Mo. Min. $0.21 per $100 None $47.40 per Yr. Private PG&E Service Charge & KWH Charge Estimated (After Annexation) $1.92 $2.50 Mo. Min. City City $36.00 per Yr. City Service Charge & KWH Charge Cit • Shasta County Local Agency -2- Forma-ion Commission • March 8, 1976 The District tax rate of $1.40 covers $1.00 per $100 for operation of the water department and fire protection, and $0.40 per $100 for payment of bonds. The City of Redding tax rate of $1.92 includes bond payments and street lighting. The additional $0.30 tax rate in Redding Ranchettes would be absorbed by City and included in the City $1.92 tax rate. The State Board of Equalization estimates the City will collect an additional $32,780 in sales and use tax in the proposed annex and the County will lose. the same amount. The City will be assuming certain functions such as police protection and road maintenance that is now provided by. County. Proponents state this proposal is made as the best course of action for provision of long-range water supply, fire protection, parks and recreation, street lighting, and the most economical electrical service. Sewer service eventually could come to the area by formation of sewer assessment district and would be more economical if area were within City boundaries, as the City main line goes through Cascade area. Assuming the City does not object to the two changes in organization, they can be handled as a single "reorganization" under the District Reorganization Act of 1965 (Government Code §56003.1). It is anti- cipated that the City Council will consider such approval at its meeting of March 9, 1976. If no objection is made, it is recommended that the reorganization be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. That the annexation election be held only within the area to be annexed. 2. That the ballot measure read substantially as follows: "Shall the order adopted on 1976, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Shasta ordering an reorganization dissolving the Cascade Community Services District and annexing the territory thereof to the City of Redding be confirmed?" (Note: The form of this measure is prescribed generally by G.C. 556107.) 3. That the City of Redding assume the bonded indebtedness and all other debts and obligations of the Cascade Community Services District. 4. That the City of Redding employ those permanent employees of the Cascade Community Services District listed in Exhibit "A" hereto and permanently employed on the effective date of an- nexation at a salary at least equal to that paid by the Cascade Shasta County Local Agency Formation Comm' is5i:on -3- March 811 1976 Community Services District and with employee benefits and rights consistent with such benefits and rights offered by the City to other comparable City employees of comparable seniority at the time of such employment. 5. That it be the finding of the Commission that the application of the restrictions of Government Code §35002.3 (creation of corridors) would be detrimental to the orderly development of the community as to this reorganization and based upon such finding, the restrictions of said section be.waived. _. County Counsel has advised that the effective date of the dis- solution and annexation would be the date of recordation of the Secretary of State's Certificate with the County Recorder (G.C. §56455). He further advises that upon dissolution the City would be the successor to the District for purposes of winding up the affairs of the District (G.C. §56501(a)), that the City would succeed to all funds and assets of the dissolved District, and that upon an- nexation the annexing area becomes equally liable with other areas of the City for debts and obligations of the City at the time of annexation (G.C. §56482). There are at present four street lighting districts located within the area to be annexed formed under Section 19000 and following of the Streets and Highways Code. Pursuant to §19270 of that Code, the City may unilaterally dissolve such districts following such annexation, and it is anticipated that they will do so. It appears that the single act of annexation will have no impact on the environment within the area to be annexed, and for that reason a Negative Declaration has been prepared for adoption by the Commission, a copy of which is attached hereto. The completed Declaration will be filed with the County Clerk following its adoption. by the Commission. Upon approval by the Commission, assuming that the City of Redding has not objected to t1le inclusion. of the City annexation in this reorganization, the Commission's action will be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors to conduct further proceedings pursuant to the Commission's approval. --_ BILL G. MIN ON Executive Officer Copy - All Commissioners NEGATIVE DECLARATION U PROJECT: Annexation of territory within boundaries of Cascade Community Services District to City of Redding and plan of dissolution of District The Local Agency Formation Commission of Shasta County, after reviewing the referenced project at its regular meeting on March 10, 1976, has determined that such project will not have a significant environmental effect in that the annexation merely transfers the governmental functions of the Cascade Community Services District to the City of Redding; the impact of such trans- fer of governmental functions on existing and future development within the boundaries of both the Cascade Community Services District or the City of Redding will be negligible.
