Sec. 2-66. - Collection of Charges in County Service Areas.

66.1 Pursuant to Section 25210.77a of the Government Code, standby charges and other…

miscellaneous extended services provided by County Service Areas in Lake County may be collected on the tax roll pursuant to the following procedure:

(a)

Once a year the Utilities Manager shall prepare a written report which shall contain a description of each parcel of real property subject to the standby charge and receiving the particular extended service and the amount of the charge for each parcel for such year computed in conformity with the procedure set forth in the ordinance authorizing collection of such charges. Such report shall be filed with the clerk of the Board of Supervisors on or before August 1 of each year.

(b)

Upon the filing of such report, the clerk shall fix a time, date, and place for hearing thereon and for filing objections or protests thereto. The clerk shall publish notice of such hearing as provided in Section 6066 of the Government Code, prior to the date set for hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the County.

(c)

At the time, date and place stated in the notice, the Board of Supervisors shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the report and may continue the hearing from time to time. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Supervisors may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify any charge and shall make its determination upon each charge as described in the report and thereafter, by resolution shall confirm the report.

(d)

The charges set forth in the report, as confirmed, shall appear as a separate item on the tax bill. The charge shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary County ad valorem property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for such taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of county ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to such charge; except that, if for the first year such charge is levied the real property to which such charge relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of such taxes would become delinquent, the charge confirmed pursuant to this ordinance shall not result in a lien against such real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

(e)

Whenever a railroad, gas, water or electric utility right-of-way, or electric line right-of-way is included within such service area, or zone thereof, the railroad, gas, water or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way shall be subject to the charges authorized only if, and to the extent that, it is found that it will benefit from the particular extended service, and the railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way shall be subject to the same penalties, and the same procedure and sale, in case of delinquency as other properties in such service area or zone. In determining whether or not the railroad, gas, water, or electric utility right-of-way or electric line right-of-way benefits from the extended service, its use as a right-of-way for a railroad, gas, water, or electric utility shall be presumed to be permanent.
