This proposal is made because due to the nature of probable 28 development and the resulting demand for municipal services, the 1 area should appropriately be within the jurisdiction of the 2 City of Ukiah, rather than part of the unincorporated area 3 served by the County of Mendocino, and 4 6. The City of Ukiah requests that proceedings be initiated by the 5 Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission pursuant to 6 government Code Section 56000 et.seq. for annexation of the 7 subject area, and 8 7. The subject properties have been prezoned (Ordinance No. 719) 9 from Mendocino County "A-l" to City of Ukiah "PD", and 10 8. The area is uninhabited as defined by Government Code Section 11 S6074, and 1.2 9. These properties were included within a larger area to be 13 annexed by the City (Vineyard View/Las Casas, Annexation No. 14 78-S) for which a previous Negative Declaration was certified 15 and thus this annexation is exempt from further CEQA evaluation, 16 17 10.

EXHIBIT C PROVISION OF URBAN SERVICES WITHIN THE LAS CASAS ANNEXATION TERRITORY Pursuant to Section 3S10? of the State of California Government Code, a plan for the provision of urban services to a newly annexed area is to accompany an application for annexation. This plan is prepared in conjunction with the annexation application to the Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission for the 106 acres encompassed by the Las Casas annexation to the City of Ukiah. Existing land uses within the area are a cemetery and producing vineyard. The cemetery is currently operated by the Russian River Cemetery District; 32 acres are developed and 6 acres proposed for future expansion are in vineyard. Existing Despina Drive accounts for four acres. Fifty-.four acres of vineyard known as Las Casas has approved plans for residential development at a density of seven units per acre and total of 316 units. Existing services to the area are provided by the County of Mendocino in the functions of Administration, Public 'Norks and Sheriff. Electricity is provided by P.G. & E. ; sewerage is provided by the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District. Telephone, gas and cable television are currently supplied and would continue to be -provided by Pacific Telephone and Telegraph, P.G.E. and Teleprompter respectively. Solid waste is on an individual property owner basis. The subject area is currently within the boundaries of the Millview County Water District although there are no existing water facilities on the site. The area has no fire prevention and protection services as it is not within the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District. The proposal is annexation to the City of Ukiah which is a full service municipality. In addition to general administrative activities, the City of Ukiah provides police and fire services, its own water production and distribution system, its own electric distribution system, a sewage treatment plant and public works services including street maintenance and capital improvements. Solid waste disposal is through City franchise with private hauling companies. In general, the proposed services to be provided to the annexation area would be those currently existing in the City of Ukiah which are enumerated in detail below. The level and range of these services would be the same as currently provided. Increased development would not cause a decrease in the levels of service to either existing City residents or the new area. The services can feasibly be extended to the affected territory immediately, as presently the City surrounds the properties on three sides. No specific improvements to structures, roads, sewer or water facilities are proposed without specific development taking place. Current City policies require developers to participate in any improvements for urban uses; conditions imposed by the City would be those of normal development considerations. The services to be provided would be financed through the existing City revenue structure which includes property taxation, reimbursement from the State and Federal governments under various in-lieu and per capita fees and revenue sharing programs. Also user fees for electric, water, sewer, and solid waste will be charged and thus provide revenues for these services. Presented here is documentation related to the specific services which would be provided to the annexed area. Services, Las Casas Annexat' n Page 2 SERVICES PUBLIC SAFETY FIRE A. Service to be extended: Fire protection and prevention. B. Level and range of service: The area currently has no such services to it. F-ire protection and prevention would be provided by the City of Ukiah Fire Department. The department is staffed by 18 full time firefighters with 22 volunteers. Minimum manning is four firefighters operating out of two stations located at Clay and School Streets, in downtown Ukiah and Lover's Lane and North State Street, immediately north of the Freeway/State Street interchange. Build-out of the approved development would require one additional firefighter according to the Fire Chief. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: None E. Conditions to be imposed by City: Fire hydrants will he required as development occurs to the specifications of the Fire Marshal and placed by the developer. Compliance with applicable fire codes will be required through building permit review as currently exists in both City and County. F. flow financed: City General Fund revenues. POLICE A. Service to be extended: Police protection and assistance. B. Level and ran e of service: The area is currently served by the Mendocino County Sheriff with the City of Ukiah Police Department providing back-up assistance as required. The Department has 22 sworn personnel and 25 reserves. Minimum staffing is three sworn personnel operating out of the police station at Mason and Standley. The Police Chief believes that ultimate residential development for approximately 1,000 persons would require one additional patrolman and one investigator. No additional personnel is necessary for immediate service however because of the minimal nature of the existing development, i.e. cemetery. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: None E. Conditions to be in�o�s_e_d by City: Any development that would occur would require review y tthe Police to insure appropriate street signage for traffic control, street layout for emergency access and public area design to insure appropriate security and patrolling opportunities. F. How Financed: City General Fund revenues UTILITIES Services, Las Casas Annexat -i Page 3 ELECTRIC A. Service to be extended: Electricity B. Level and range of service: Currently only the cemetery within the area is provided with electrical energy through the facilities of P.G.E. There are no other facilities within the annexation boundaries. The City of Ukiah has its own electric distribution system. Electric facilities would be initially constructed by the developer with a payback system on a developed lot basis. Currently the City has the capacity to accommodate additional loads in this area and revenues anticipated through user fees would pay for the capital improvements and any required maintenance and operation of this system on an annual basis. The City provides the same levels and range of service as provided by P.G.E. meeting demands ranging from minimum voltage and amperage in residential units to extreme loads for residential and commercial uses. Regarding the capacity of the distribution system, the Electric Department has stated that the load created by this annexation would be approximately 2K1q per customer. (317 x 2KW - 634 KW) Our present peak demand is 22,700 KW. Our capacity is 40,000 KW. An additional one-half of an account clerk would be required to accommodate the new billings at build-out of the proposed development. (This would also accommodate water service billings) . C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: As noted, as development occurs, particular improvements would be required to be completed by the developer. In light of the fact that there is no large scale existing facilities, specific improvements would not be necessary immediately other than City purchase of the P.G.E. facilities in the cemetery. E. Conditions to be imposed by the City: Specific conditions would be imposed y the City at the time of development and include undergrounding and construction/placement of capital improvements at that time. F. How financed: Initial capital improvements would be financed through developer fees an�osits with ongoing operation and maintenance covered by user fees. Electric service fees also generate income to the City General Fund over and above expenses for that enterprise. SEWERAGE A. Service to be extended: Sewage collection and disposal. B. Level and range of service: The area is currently within the Ukiah Valley Sanitation District and property taxes have been paid to that district for utilization of the existing treatment plant. There would be no change in the status of the responsible agency upon annexation as the district would retain their jurisdiction with current tax and user fee charges. Extension of service would occur with residential development. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: Hookups to trunk sewer lanes would be required upon development at the expense of the developer. No immediate improvements are necessary. Services, Las Casas Annexation Page 4 E. Conditions to be i�mmpposed the City: Upon development, hookups to the trunk sewer line related to any type of urban development would be required at the developers expense. Extension of sewer trunk would be placed by the developer. 0 F. How Financed: Property tax levies and user fee charges on a monthly basis would sustain operation at current levels. WATER A. Service to be extended: Water for domestic and fire prevention uses. B. Level and range of service: At the present time there are no water capital improvements within the annexation boundaries; the cemetery utilizes a well for irrigation purposes. The City provides water on three sides of the proposed annexation although the area is located within the Millview County Water District which serves development to the northwest but has no facilities within the annexation boundaries. It is proposed that water service be by the City of Ukiah because of the greater capacity of the City of Ukiah to service this development. The major portion of the City's fire rating is based on the capacity of the water system. Therefore, fire insurance rates could be expected to be lower if the development were serviced by the City. The City has available, at this time, 2,630,000 gallons of storage with a pumping capacity of 6,000 gallons per minute. The Millview Water District has 456,000 gallons of storage capacity and the ability to pump at 1,525 gallons per minute. All of the pumps of Millview, are powered by electricity and subject to a power failure. The City of Ukiah has two pumps serviced by the City of Ukiah electric service, one serviced by P.G.E. and a fourth pump serviced by both City electric power and standby diesel. Thus the City has a greater capacity for provision of water during; emergency conditions. Existing City facilities can easily accommodate the proposed development. The pumping capacity for the City of Ukiah is sufficient to maintain reservoirs at near capacity at all time while the Millview Water District was unable to maintain its storage capacity during a summer season and actual storage has been below 100,000 gallons on numerous occasions. Therefore, it is our belief that the residents of this area would be better served by the City of Ukiah than by the Millview Water District. In the past, Millview has expressed the concern, through its attorney, Jared Carter, that the detachment of this territory from Millview might result in their inability to service the rest of their system effectively. The City of Ukiah doubts the validity of this allegation for two reasons; 1) The property is currently undeveloped and no water sales are taking place within the boundaries of the proposed annexation; and 2) Government Code Section 56492 requires that bonds currently outstanding be paid from revenues derived from all property in the district when the bonds are sold, regardless of any detachments occurring after the date of bond sale. Therefore, it appears that Millview would be unaffected by this proposed detachment from the Millview District. The City has proposed an agreement between the City and Millview which would provide for the joint operation of the City and District system. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: All facilities associated with development would be required ot the developer. No improvements are necessary at the present. Services, Las Casas Annexat Page 5 E. Conditions to be imposed by the City: As development occurs, water facilities or both domestic and fire flows would be required of the developer. This would include extension of mains to existing mains within the City boundaries and payment of Capital. Improvement fees. F. How Financed: Initial construction of capital improvements would be required at the cost of the developer. On-going maintenance and operation of the system would be paid from the monthly user fees and service charges. These fees also generate revenue to the City of Ukiah General Fund. SOLID WASTE A. Service to be extended: Solid waste collection and disposal. B. Level and range of service: Current service in County is based upon individual property owner discretion. Within the City, solid waste service is provided through contract with private agencies. This franchise agreement would be extended to provide the same level as existing i.e. one weekly pickup of 30 gallon can plus. Material is deposited at City of Ukiah Sanitary Disposal Site which has satisfactory capacity for entire valley population through the year 2000. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: None E. Conditions to be unposed by City: Collection by franchised company is required within City limits. F. How financed: User fees/service charges. No cost to City because of franchise with private agency. GENERAL GOVERNMENT A. Service to be extended: General administrative and miscellaneous services. B. Level and range of service: The area is currently served by the County of Men ocino in the areas oF administration and public works. The City is a full service municipality, which in addition to providing the specific services discussed above, encompasses the functions of City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, City Council, Treasurer, Personnel, Finance including Purchasing and Warehousing, Community Development including Planning Commission, Planning and Building, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works operating street maintenance and engineering, weed abatement, municipal garage and corporation yard. The annexation and proposed development could be serviced at existing service levels. Building Inspection services can be provided with the two currently authorized positions. Minimal increased costs would occur in the areas of weed abatement, elections and street maintenance. C. When available: Immediately D. Improvements required: None E. Conditions to be imposed by the_City: Applicable building codes as adopted by the City Council and the Board of Supervisors would be imposed and Services, Las Casas Annexat Page 6 standard requirements pursuant to existing City policies for streets and related development would be stipulated. F. flow financed: City General Revenue funds. FINANCING_ As noted previously, other than user fees for water, electricity, sewerage and solid waste disposal, urban services would be financed through the City of Ukiah General Fund. Annual revenues include property tax, per capita subventions from the State and Federal revenue sharing. One time revenues include building permits, subdivision fees and parks and recreation in-lieu fees. Noted here are approximate costs and revenues based upon a total of 3 units, average per unit value of $50,000, projected population of 948 (3 per unit) and one and a half miles of streets.
