EXHIBIT C PROVISION OF URBAN SERVICES WITHIN THE LEWIS LANE ISLAND ANNEXATION TERRITORY Pursuant to Section 35102 of the State of California Government Code, a plan for the provision of urban services to a newly annexed area must accompany an application for annexation. This plan is prepared in conjunction with the annexation application to the ~ndocino County Local Agency Formation Commission for the acreage encompassed in the Lewis Lane Island annexation to the City of Ukiah. The area to be annexed is completely surrounded by the City of Ukiah and is bounded on the north by Talmage Road, on the east and southeast by existing commercial development ~ndocino County Farm Suppl. y), On the south by Hastings Road and on the west by State Street. Existing land uses within the area are commercial, residential and open vacant. There are seven commercial enterprises, including a 10 unit motel, and two residences located within the annexation boundaries. The City of Ukiah has purchased 4.3 acres of the area for the Airport Clearzone; all structures on this property will or have been removed with no further development proposed. Ail other properties are fully developed except a commercial lot fronting State Street. There is no specific project for this annexation, merely inclusion of developed "county island". Area to be annexed is 8.0± acres. Existing services to the area are provided by the County of b~ndocino in the functions of General government, Administrative, Public Works, and Sheriff. Electricity is provided by P.G.& E., sewerage is provided by the Ukiah Valley Santiation District; water is provided by the City of Ukiah. Fire prevention and protection is provided through the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District, (a special district on contract with the City of Ukiah). 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 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 within City boundaries. 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 abuts the properties on all sides and most City services are either provided (water) or involved with backup assistance agreements (police and fire). No specific improvements to structures, roads, sewer or water facilities are proposed without specific development taking place. ~rrent 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, Lewis Lane Island Annexat Plan for Services Page 2 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.

CI1T OF UKIAtt C~ I'IT 1)I:VELOI~MENT DEPARI?4ILNT NO .Vt3~ER 14, 1979 CAGLE-KENNF, DY AND CI'Pf OF UKIAH PROPERTY ANNEXATION NO. 76-2 NEGOTIKFED 'I:&X SIIIFT ANALYSIS Because this annexation would not significantly affect any revenue sources for the County other than property tax revenues, this negotiated transfer need reflect only the shifts of responsibility for providing services. Once this area is annexed, it will be placed in a new tax code area. The total Equivalent Tax Rate (ETR) for this tax code area will be 4.07. The City's ETR is .51 which is 12.56% of the total. Thus, under AB8, the City will receive 12.56% of all revenues generated by changes in assessed valuation in this annexation area. In drder for the City to receive the same share of the revenues generated by the existing assessed valuation, the same percentage (12.56%) was applied as the property tax lump sum transfer. -exfsting assessed valuation- $39,420 -revenues derived through property taxes: $ 1,576.80 -City' s share (12.56%)' $ 198.54 This annexation does not include negotiation with any other agency thus 100% of the transfer would come from the County General Tax Fund. The figure has been rounded to $200 for ease in accounting procedures.
