PROVISION OF URP~Jq SEtWICES WITIIIN
THE 'VINEYARD VIEW/IAS CASAS ANNE2TION 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 Mendocino County
Local Agency Formation Commission for the 137 acres encompassed by the
Vineyard View/Las Casas annexation to the City of UkioJ~.
Existing land uses w~thin the area are; a cemetery, producing vineyard
and open vacant land. The cemetery is currently operated by the Russian
River Cemetery District; 32 acres are developed and 15 acres proposed for
future expansion are in vineyard. Approximately 32 acres, tSresently
vacant, has 'had development approved in the form of a subdivision map
for 226 residential units. The map was. approved by the Cmmty of ~:lendocino
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Fifty-five acres of vineyard
are in the process of being planned for residential development. This
area, known as Las Casas,proposes 440 residential units.
Existing services to the area are provided by the County of Mendocino in
the functions of Administrative, Public l'iorks and Sheriff. Electricity
is provided by P.G.& E. Sewerage is provided by the b"~iah Valley
Sanitation District. Fire prevention and protection is provided through
the Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District, a special district on contract
with the City of UkiM~. 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 facilSties on site.
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 ~ystem, 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 property 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 consider-
ations. 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 servihes.
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 is currently served by the
Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District whose services are provided
under contract by the City of Ukiah. The department is staffed by
16 full time firefighters with 22 volunteers. 5~nimummanning 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. The level and range of service would remain as
currently exists.
C. When available: Immediately
D. Improvements required: None
E. Conditions to be imposed by City: Fire hydrants will be required
as development occurs to the specifications of the Fire ~rshall
and placed [./ the developer. Compliance with applicable fire
codes will be required through building permit review as currently
exists in both City and County.
F. How financed: City General Fund revenues.
POLICE
A. Service to be extended: Police protection and assistance.
B. Level and range of service: The area is currently served by the
Mendocino County She¥iff 'with the City of Ukiah Police Department
providing back-up assistance as required. The Department has
23 sworn personnel and 25 reserves. ~finimum 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 2000 persons would require two
additional patrolmen 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
Services-Vineyard View/l,~s Casas 7hmexation
.Page 3
Conditions to be imposed by City: Any development that would occur
wo~u'ld require review by the Police Department to insure appropriate
street signage for traffic control. Street layout for emergency
access and public area design will be 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' C~rrently 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
bmmdaries. The City of UkiM~ 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 tbe capacity of the distribution system, the Electric
Department has stated, "The load created by this annexation would
be approximately 2~ per customer. (739 x 2]<W= 1,478 ~V). Our
present peak demand is 21,000 ~V. P.G.E.'s capacity is 25,900 knv.
Thus capacity is available. We are presently working with P.G.E.
to provide additional capaicty for our system. Thus we see no
problem to service these facilities." Th~se figures were based
upon the first presentation by the developer in which anticipated
units were 739. The actual total now is a maximum of approximately
660, thus a decrease of more than 10% in demand. An additional
account clerk would be required to accommodate the new billings.
.
C. When available' Immediately
D. Improvements %Fquired: 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.
Conditions to be imposed by the City: Specific conditions would be
imposed ~y--t]~ City at time ~f-~[~lopment and include undergrounding
and construction/placement of capital improvements at that time.
F. How financed: Initial Capital. Inprovements would be financed through
-deVeloper fee's and deposits with ongoing operation and maintenance
Services-Vineyard View/I,, Casas annexation
Page 4
covered by user fees. Electric service fees also generate income
to the City General Fund over and above expenses for that enterprise.
; SE}mRAGE
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 m~d 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 juris-
diction 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 lines would be
required upon development at the expense of the developer. No
immediate improvements are necessary.
E. Conditions to be imposed by the City' Upon development, hooknaps
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 developer.
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. ~e City provides water on
three sides of the proposed annexation although the area is located
within the Millview County Water District which serves development
immediately to the north 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 pm~ing capacity of 6,000 gallons per minute. The Millview
Water District has 456,000 gallons of storage capacity and tl~
ability to pump at1525 gallons.per minute. Ail. 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. m~d a fourth' pump serviced by both
City electric power and standby diesel generation. Thus the City has
a greater capacity for provision of water during emergency conditions.
2~ne pumping capacity for the City of Ukiah is sufficient to maintain
Services-Vineyard View/L Casas annexation
Page 5 '
reservoirs at near capacity at all times while the Millview Water
District has been unable to maintain its storage capacity during
the last 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, ~fillview has expressed the concern, through its
attorney, Jarred 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) TheProperty 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-detac]~nents occurring after the date of bond sale.
Therefore, it appears that )fillview would be unaffeCted by this
proposed detachment from the Millview District. The City has
proposed the attached agreement be~veen th'e City and ~fillviewwhich
would provide for the joint operation of the City and District system.-
C. When available- Immediately

D, ~mprovements Required. Ail facilities associated with development
would be requiredo-~the developer.. No improvements are necessary
at the present.
E. Conditions to be imposed by the Cit_~_: As development occurs, water
~ilities for both~ domestic a~d' 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 Improven~nt 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
~ndiViddM pr3perty miner discretion. Within the City, solid waste
service is provided througl~ contract with private agencies. This
franchise agreement would be extended to provide same level as
~xisting, i.e. one weekly pickup of 30 gallon can plus. Material
~s deposited at City of UkiM~ Sm~itary Disposal Site which has
satisfactory capacity for entire valley population through the
year 2000.

F. How financed' User fees/service charges. No cost to City because

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 b~ndocino in the areas of administration and public
works. The City is a full ~yice muni-ci~lity, 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, Plarming and
Building, Parks and Recreation, and Public lVorks operating street
maintenance and engineering, weed abatement, municipal garage and
corporation yard. The annexation and proposed development could be
.. serviced at existing service levels. The Director of.Planning
believes an additional building inspector is necessary due to
construction in this area in addition to substantial increase in
current City development, b~nimal increased costs would also
result in the areas of weed abatement, elections and street maintenance.
C. When availabl, e. Immediately
D. Improvements required' None
E. Conditions to be imposed by the City: Applicable building codes
as adopted by ~he City CoUncil and ~he Board of Supervisors would be
imposed and standard requirements pursuant to existing City
policies for streets and related development would be stipulated.
F. How 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 660 units,
average per unit value of $40,000, projected population of 1,980 (3 per unit)
a~d three miles of streets.
Park and Recreation costs and fees are not tabulated because of the uncertainty
Services-Vineyard View/l
Page 7
Casas Annexation
as to M~ether park land with/without maintenance or in-lieu fees would be
associated with development.
It must be reiterated that these calculations reflect development of the
area in residential uses at a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per net
acre as prescribed in the "PD" prezone being processed by the City of Ukiah.

expenses cover this expense depreciated on a 30 year term. Water'
improvements are completely met by developer.
SUMMARY
As a full service municipality, the City of Ukiahwould be providing
all governmental functions and urban services for this.area. Level of
service would be as now exists, financing would be thro¢gh user fees
and service charges and general governmental revenues as currently
exist. The availability of services is inmediate.
