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 refuse collection and disposal service charges has historically been collected through the County's tax roll as a special assessment to the property owners. 

To continue to place refuse collection and disposal service charges on the tax roll for the convenience of the residents in Improvement District No. 1, each year the Board must hold a public hearing to adopt the charges to be collected on the tax roll.

A written report by parcel has been prepared and filed with the Secretary containing a description of each parcel receiving refuse collection and disposal services in Improvement District No. 1, and the corresponding charges.  The report is on file and available for review in the office of the City Clerk, and will be available at the June 22, 2021 Sanitary District Board meeting.

The service charge for standard residential service, which includes one recycling barrel, one green waste barrel, and one general trash barrel in District No. 1, will be $25.33 per month effective July 1, 2021.

The fees collected will be remitted to Republic Services, less any franchise fees due to the City and any County imposed administrative charges for the collection on the tax roll.

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

• Conduct a public hearing on the report listing charges 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 for 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.
