§ 21-132. Determination of necessity.  


Latest version.
  • The board of supervisors has heretofore levied service charges upon the parcels of real property within the boundaries of the CSA, pursuant to Government Code Section 25210.77a, to pay for the cost of the services provided by the CSA. However, due to the passage of Proposition 218 on November 5, 1996, adding Article XIIID, Section 6(b)(5), to the California Constitution, such services are "general governmental services" and such service charges are "fees" which cannot be imposed beginning July 1, 1997. There are no other adequate funds presently available or anticipated to be available for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1997, to pay for the full cost of such services. Therefore, the amount of revenue which will be available to the CSA commencing with the 1997-98 fiscal year will be inadequate to meet the cost of providing services at the existing level.
