Reso 2024-993RESOLUTION NO.2024-993
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COSTA MESA
SANITARY DISTRICT OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, DETERMINING THAT
A MAJORITY PROTEST DID NOT OCCUR WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPOSED
CHARGES FOR TRASH COLLECTION AND ADOPTING A SCHEDULE OF
CHARGES FOR 2024-2029.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, an ordinance providing for the trash collection charges pursuant to
Section 5473 of the Health and Safety Code was passed and adopted on the 5th day of
June 1968, at a regular meeting of said Board; and
WHEREAS, The Board has determined that since an increase in trash rates is
proposed, that Proposition 218 may apply to the imposition of these charges and
therefore has determined that:
1. Revenues derived from the fee or charge do not exceed the funds required
to provide the trash collection service. The charges are calculated by adding
together the cost of components necessary to provide the service and then
apportioning this to those receiving trash collection service. No components
other than those directly related to providing service are used to establish
rates. The components include trash collection, recycling, organics
recycling, education and special programs, and administration.
2. Revenue from the fee or charge is not used for any purpose other than for
which the fee or charge is imposed. The revenue is used only for the
components of providing trash collection service as outlined in paragraph 1
above and as identified in the Districts yearly budget.
3. The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an
incident of property ownership does not exceed the proportional cost of the
service attributable to the parcel. The amount of the yearly charge is
determined by dividing the cost of all the components of providing the
service by the number of parcels receiving service, as the vast majority of
parcels produce an approximately equal amount of solid waste and all
parcels enjoy the benefit of the public education and have an opportunity to
participate in the special programs.

4. The fee or charge is not imposed for service unless the service is actually
used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question.
Properties not receiving trash collection service or that receive service from
other entities providing trash collection, are not charged.
5. No fee or charge is being imposed for general governmental services such
as police, fire, ambulance, or libraries, but is only imposed for trash
collection services. The District provides only trash collection and sewer
service and charges collected for trash collection are used only for that
purpose.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was set for the 24th day of June 2024 to be heard
at the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, 290 Paularino Street, Costa Mesa, California, at the
hour of 4:30 p.m.; and

law;

a charge is proposed; and,
