Subject:

Conduct a public hearing for a report detailing fees to be collected on the tax roll for refuse collection and disposal services in Improvement District No. 1; and adopt a Resolution authorizing the collection on the tax roll of refuse collection and disposal fees for Improvement District No. 1. (Action Item)

Date:6/25/2019
OBJECTIVE

For the Garden Grove Sanitary District Board of Directors to conduct a public hearing on the report identifying charges proposed to be collected on the tax roll for refuse collection and disposal services in the District’s Improvement District No. 1; adopt the attached Resolution approving the report detailing the refuse collection and disposal fees for Improvement District No. 1 to be collected on the tax roll and directing that the fees be collected on the tax roll; and direct staff to file the necessary documentation with the County for collection of fees on the tax roll for refuse collection and disposal services provided in Improvement District No. 1.  This action requires five (5) affirmative votes in order to proceed with collection of these fees on the tax roll.

BACKGROUND

As part of Orange County Reorganization No. 141, the Garden Grove Sanitary District became a subsidiary district of the City of Garden Grove on May 30, 1997. The Terms and Conditions of the Reorganization established Improvement District No. 1, which consists of those areas that were formerly in Midway City Sanitary District.  The service charge for the standard residential service, which includes one recycling barrel, one green waste barrel, and one general trash barrel in District No. 1, will be $21.62 per month effective July 1, 2019.

DISCUSSION

District No. 1 refuse collection and disposal service charges have historically been collected by placing them on the tax roll.  In order to continue this system for the convenience of the residents of Improvement District No. 1 and the waste collector (Republic Services), each year the Board must approve a report detailing charges proposed to be collected on the tax roll for refuse collection and services in Improvement District No. 1.

 

A written report has been prepared and filed with the Secretary containing a description of each parcel of real property receiving refuse collection and disposal services in Improvement District No. 1, and the charges for each parcel.  The report is on file and available for review in the office of the City Clerk and will be available at the June 25, 2019, Sanitary District Board meeting. 

 

In order for charges to continue to be collected on the tax roll, the Board is required to hold a public hearing on whether to adopt the report detailing charges proposed to be collected on the tax roll.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

This action will provide for the collection of disposal and refuse collection fees in District No. 1.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Garden Grove Sanitary District Board of Directors:

 

  • Conduct a public hearing on the report identifying charges proposed to be collected on the tax roll for refuse collection and disposal services in the District’s Improvement District No. 1;

  • Adopt the attached Resolution approving the report and authorizing the collection on the tax roll of disposal and refuse collection fees in District No. 1 (by five (5) affirmative votes); and

  • Direct staff to file the necessary documentation with the County for the collection of the fees on the property tax bills.
