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
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

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.
