President Knauft asked Roy Stephenson civil engineer from Berryman and Stephenson
explain the engineering report and of the standby assessment. Mr. Stephenson explained
the land use and developement in ID #1 in a manner that fairly allocated the cost of
providing capital water facilities necessary to serve the area. This is the second
year of the stand by charges on the vacant land to supplement ID#1.
Special legislation passed last year to permit the Board to implement stand by charges
on vacant land. The District service area "E" has been acquired by the State of

California for a park. Exempt areas are those areas that have already been issued
a building permit or have a water meter or juniper and we are not allowed to assess
those properties. The balance of the District has been divided into three zones.
Zone 1 recorded single family lots, zone 2 raw land in service area a & b, zone 3
raw land in service area there are two levels of benefits, some areas have the
ability to hook on to the system almost immediately, they have a special "avail-
abilty benefit" which is approximately 980 acres of the total 4260 acres within the
District or 23% of the area.
The balance is defined as general benefit and the spread is based on land use or
water duty factor based on how many units could be built on the vacant land. The
debt service for service area a and bonds for the 1983-84 is $715,060, assessed
value ID#1 $350,000,000 less amount raised by ad valorem $630,000 plus engineering,
legal and administrative expenses of $29,940. The amount to be assessed undeveloped
land is $115,000 which is approximately half of what it was last year.
