The City's role in this process was to provide the mechanism to safeguard the reimbursement of the original funding property owners that constructed this sanitary sewer system. The enclosed information will provide you with background regarding this process. We have an extensive file on this district. We suggest that you may want to review this file at City Hall. The best process to move forward with potentially extending a sewer line could be identified based upon the number of properties involved and may necessitate the use of professional consultants hired by the City at an appropriate time. Thank you again for your inquiry. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Owners, the owners of real property located along Johns Canyon Road and Chestnut Lane in the City of Rolling Hills, desire to construct a private sanitary sewer system in order to service their homes, in lieu of presently existing on -site wastewater management systems. It is contemplated that said system will be constructed within an easement of the Rolling Hills Community Association of Palos Verdes (hereinafter "the Association"), and will be maintained by the Los Angeles County Consolidated Sewer Maintenance District (hereinafter "Maintenance District"), upon its annexation into that District. B. Owners intend to construct the sewer system at their sole cost and expense. However, as it is anticipated that at some future time, other presently non -participating property owners may desire to connect into the system as an alternative to onsite wastewater management. Owners desire to establish a mechanism to charge such property owners their proportionate share of the initial construction cost and obtain pro rata reimbursement from said charge. C. City encourages private development of sanitary sewers as contemplated hereinabove, and in furtherance thereof, has adopted Ordinance No. 234 (codified as Chapter 13.16 of Title 13 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, and hereinafter "Chapter 13.16"). Under Chapter 13.16, City may establish a sanitary sewer reimbursement district and enter into a reimbursement agreement with property owners to provide a method of reimbursement for the •initial capital construction cost of constructing private sewer systems. D. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the authority contained in Chapter 13.16, in connection with the formation of Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 93-1 (hereinafter "District"). 931228 R6980-00001 clm 0563733 0 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth herein and the mutual benefits to be derived therefrom, the parties agree as follows: Section 1.

Date: 11/27/95 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: CRAIG R. NEALIS, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 772: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS ACCEPTING OFFERS TO DEDICATE AND EASEMENTS RELATING TO SEWER SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS. DATE: NOVEMBER 27,1995 BACKGROUND As you recall, several years ago the City was approached by five property owners in the Johns Canyon/Chestnut Lane area with the hopes of privately constructing a sanitary sewer system for their homes. At that time, it was proposed that the County or the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County would operate and maintain the system and that a mechanism could be created to ensure a reimbursement process to financially protect the investment of the original funding property owners. The sewer has been constructed per the plans of the ASL Sewer Construction Survey for the City of Rolling Hills. Members of the City Council created a Sanitation Sewer Reimbursement District on November 11, 1995, which ensures financial reimbursement of a pro rata share of funds to the original funding property owners in the event a non -funding adjacent property owner chooses to connect to the system. Staff and the City Attorney's office have worked to create the most simple method for County maintenance of this private sewer system. As you recall, we had received mixed messages from the County relative to their willingness to maintain this system. At this point, these issues have been resolved and previously, the City Attorney advised members of the City Council as to the options in this matter. The option of the City accepting the offers of dedication and easements for public use and annexing the system to the County Sanitation Maintenance District for sewer operation and maintenance was deemed the most acceptable option. -1- The Resolution before you this evening causes the City to formally accept these easements from these private property owners and requests the County to annex the property served by the system for maintenance, operation and responsibility purposes. We have verbal confirmation from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works that they will accept the sewer. The five property owners will be assessed annually by the County of Los Angeles for maintenance service. It is estimated that this will be less than $25.00 per year, per household. Once the City accepts these sewers, the Department of Public Works will present this item to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for consideration. We do not foresee any difficulties at that level. RECOMMENDATION, It is recommended that members of the City Council adopt Resolution No. 772 accepting the dedication and easement of these sewers.
