North Monterey County MSR February 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides a Municipal Services Review (MSR) for the service districts in the North
County area of Monterey County. On September 26, 2000, the Governor signed into law
AB 2838 (Chapter 761, Statutes of 2000), which marked the most significant reform to local
government reorganization law since the 1963 statute that created local agency formation
commissions (LAFCOs). In summary, the Act does the following:
1. Creates statewide guidelines for the incorporation process to provide LAFCOs with
a uniform “analytical tool” to use in their evaluation of incorporation proposals. The
guidelines are advisory.
2. Requires LAFCOs to update all Spheres of Influence for local agencies by 2005.
3. Requires Municipal Service Reviews to be completed for each local agency prior to
or simultaneously with the Sphere of Influence update.
This MSR is being prepared prior to updating any Spheres of Influence in North County as
a result of AB 2838. Its completion prior to the updates will facilitate the update process by
providing useful baseline information for each service district at the commencement of the
update process and by shortening the time required to complete the update process. The
format of this MSR is based on the State Guidelines for MSRs that requires 9 factors to be
evaluated for each local agency. In using these factors the information provides an
inventory of service capabilities regarding:
1. Infrastructure needs and deficiencies;
2. Growth and population;
3. Financing constraints and opportunities;
4. Cost-avoidance opportunities;
5. Rate restructuring opportunities;
6. Opportunities for shared facilities;
7. Government structure options;
8. Management efficiencies;
9. Local accountability and governance.
Most of the information collected for this report has been derived from the service districts
themselves, but the consultants preparing the report have reviewed the submitted
information for accuracy.
There are no incorporated municipalities within the North County area, but there are
several communities with urban and suburban densities as well as small residential
enclaves surrounded by rural land. Therefore, service districts and community service areas
(CSAs) provide a vital role in providing necessary services to the people of North County.
This MSR inventories the service capabilities of 12 service districts and 13 CSAs. Individual
discussions of each service district conclude with a “Summary and Determinations” section
which highlights the most significant information within the inventory and provides
important conclusions about service capabilities. Recommendations for future actions are
purposely not included in this section as this is not the purpose of this report. Rather the
information in this report can be used in future studies, including Sphere of Influence
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 1
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
updates, towards making recommendations by LAFCO staff and towards enacting policy
decisions by the LAFCO Board.
A Draft MSR report was released on November 22, 2004 for a 45 day public review and
comment period. Each service provider discussed in the report received a copy of the Draft
MSR. A public meeting was also held at the Castroville Water District Office on December
9, 2004 to discuss the MSR process and the North County Draft MSR in particular with
interested members of the public. LAFCO received written comments from the following
agencies and individuals:
Agencies:
Aromas Tri-County Fire Protection District
Aromas Water District
Castroville Water District
Monterey County Department of Public Works
Monterey County Water resources Agency
Moss Landing Harbor District
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary
North County Fire Protection District
North County Recreation and Park District
Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency
Salinas Rural Fire District

Copies of comment letters are provided in the Revised Draft MSR dated October 2005. The
Revised Draft report was released to the public for a 30 day review period and considered
by the LAFCO Commissioners at their public meeting on December 5, 2005 in Salinas.
This Final Revised DraftMSR incorporates revisions specified in the Revised Draft report as
well as subsequent revisions made as a result of the Commission’s directions during the
December 5 public meeting.
Budget data continues to focus on information for the 2002-03 fiscal year as was done in
the original Draft MSR report. In some cases the text has been updated to reflect more
recent budget data where it has been provided from commenting agencies. The pie charts
provided in this report continue to use 2002-03 data to provide a uniform fiscal year for all
service providers discussed in the report.

North Monterey County MSR February 2006
INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
The Cortese/Knox/Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 requires the
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) in each county in California to update the
Sphere of Influence for all municipalities and service districts within their counties by 2005.
In addition, the Act requires that a Municipal Service Review be conducted prior to or in
conjunction with the Sphere of Influence update. A Sphere of Influence, as defined by
California Government Code 56425, “is a plan for the probable physical boundary and
service area of a local agency or municipality”. Cities and other local agencies, such as a
water district, can only annex land area within their Sphere of Influence (SOI). An SOI is
generally regarded as a 20 year growth boundary. Establishing geographic areas around
each city and local agency district to delineate where they may expand in the future is one
of the primary activities of each LAFCO in the State. Having an independent commission
establish future growth boundaries in advance of proposed annexations ensures plans for
annexations of proximate cities and local agencies will not overlap with each other. SOIs
are also meant prevent “leap-frog” development and provide for orderly steps in annexation
and development.
The Municipal Service Review (MSR) is a new requirement for LAFCOs. MSRs identify and
evaluate public services. They will provide LAFCO decision-makers with important
information about various aspects of locally provided services on which to base decisions
about updating various SOIs within their jurisdiction. According to Government Code
Section 56430, MSRs are to include the following:
“(a) A Service Review must have written determinations that address the following
factors in order to update a Sphere of Influence:
Factors to Be Addressed
(1) Infrastructure Needs and Deficiencies
(2) Growth and Population
(3) Financing Constraints and Opportunities
(4) Cost-Avoidance Opportunities
(5) Opportunities for Rate Restructuring
(6) Opportunities for Shared Facilities
(7) Government Structure Options, including advantages and
disadvantages of consolidation or reorganization of service providers
(8) Evaluation of Management Efficiencies
(9) Local Accountability and Governance”
This report inventories local agencies according to the nine factors listed above. Factors 4
and 5 have been combined into a single subheading in this report due to their similar
nature.
The Act also requires the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research to prepare guidelines
for the preparation of MSRs. Guidelines were prepared in 2001. This report has been
prepared in accordance with these guidelines.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 3
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
LAFCO of Monterey County is preparing MSRs based on dividing the County into 7 large
geographic areas. This particular “area-wide” MSR inventories the services within the North
County area of Monterey County. This geographic area is approximately the same area
covered by the County’s “North County General Plan”. The other “area-wide” MSRs that
will be prepared for the cities and service districts throughout the county will be the MSRs
for Greater Salinas area, Central and South Salinas Valley, Fort Ord/Highway 68 Area,
Monterey Peninsula, Carmel Valley and the Big Sur Coast.
In acknowledgment that many agency budgets, operational activities and infrastructure are
constantly changing, MSRs are prepared to provide information for a “snapshot in time”.
Most of information in this report was obtained during the latter months of 2003 and
therefore the information provides a “snapshot” of North County Districts during the
summer and autumn of 2003. Budgetary information is therefore based on the 2002-03
fiscal year.
The Role of LAFCO and the Public
LAFCOs were created by the State legislature to make local and regional growth decisions.
There are 58 LAFCOs in California—one for each county. The final decision-making
authority is a 7 member Commission which consists of 2 members from the County Board
of Supervisors, 2 members representing city councils of municipalities within the county, 2
members representing special (service) districts within the county and 1 public member
who is elected by the 6 other LAFCO members. LAFCOs make decisions on various types
of proposals regarding growth of cities and service districts. These proposals include
incorporation (or disincorporation) of cities, formation (or dissolution) of special districts,
annexations, detachments and consolidations of 2 or more cities or districts. In addition,
LAFCOs must establish Sphere of Influence for each city and special district within the
county. As discussed above, an SOI is a plan for the probable physical boundary and
service area of a local agency within a 20 year timeframe. An SOI must be established for a
city or special district before LAFCO can consider a proposed annexation to that city or
district. The State law that originally established LAFCOs requires the establishment of SOIs
as a necessary first step in the planning for the growth of any city or district. Now, the new
Cortese/Knox/Hertzberg Act requires all SOIs to be updated by 2005 and further requires
MSRs to be completed prior to or in conjunction with the updated SOIs.
Therefore, MSRs are now the first step in the planning for growth. The purpose of MSRs is
to provide LAFCO decision-makers with basic technical information about the services
provided by a local agency so well-informed decision-making can occur about the SOIs for
these local agencies. On November 22, 2004 a Draft version of the North County MSR was
released for a 45 day public review period. During this time several local agencies and
members of the public made comments on the content of the Draft MSR. A public meeting
was also held at a North County location during the 45 day comment period. The public
meeting allowed interested members of the public to better understand the purpose of
MSRs and provided an opportunity to present the viewpoints of service customers regarding
the provision of public services.
After the close of that comment period, a second (Revised) Draft of the MSR will be
prepared and released to the governing members of LAFCO. This Revised Draft MSR
includes responses to all written comments made on the original Draft MSR, as well as any
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 4
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
necessary changes to the text to provide more accuracy or better clarifications of the
information presented. LAFCO will consider the Revised Draft MSR for approval and
adoption in an advertised scheduled public hearing. Any changes to the Revised Draft
MSR, which are requested by LAFCO at the hearing, will be included in a third and final
version of the MSR document. This Final Revised Draft MSR will be prepared and submitted
for LAFCO’s adoption at a subsequent public hearing.
The North County Area and Its Local Agencies
The North County area extends from the Pajaro River southward to Espinoza Road and the
mouth of the Salinas River. The area is predominantly rural but includes the unincorporated
communities of Pajaro, Las Lomas, Moss Landing, Castroville and Prunedale and several
small residential subdivisions surrounded by rural land. Much of the rural land is cultivated
in agricultural crops that support a strong commercial agricultural industry. The fertile
Pajaro Valley extends from Santa Cruz County into the northern part of the North County
area and the agriculturally-rich Salinas Valley begins at southern edge of North County.
Together, the Pajaro and Salinas Valleys are one of the most productive agricultural areas in
the world. The North County area that lies between these two flat valleys has a more
undulating topography and supports a mix of commercial and hobby farming land uses and
forested land that is either vacant or comprised of rural residential uses.
The coastal area of North County contains wide sandy beaches and the primary commercial
fishing harbor for the entire county. Most of the coastline is either State Beach or the Moss
Landing Harbor. The harbor is also the entrance to one of the largest estuaries on the
nation’s west coast—Elkhorn Slough. The slough is part of the Monterey Bay National
Marine Sanctuary and extends inland 6 miles from the Monterey Bay.
There are no incorporated municipalities within North County; however there are several
unincorporated communities with urban densities. The community of Castroville, with a
population of 5,800 is the largest community with urban densities within North County. It is
located two miles east of the coast at the intersection of Highways 156 and 183. The
smaller community of Pajaro also has urban densities similar to those of incorporated
municipalities. This community is located on the opposite side of the Pajaro River from the
City of Watsonville, which is in neighboring Santa Cruz County. The coastal community of
Moss Landing includes a commercial and sport fishing harbor and a public recreational
beach—Moss Landing State Beach. Zmudowski and Salinas River State Beaches are located
north and south of Moss Landing. The inland communities of Las Lomas, Castroville and
Prunedale provide commercial services for an area that is otherwise rural. The two former
communities are compact and surrounded by farmland. Prunedale expands on both sides of
U.S. Highway 101 with ambiguous boundaries. It is located in a hilly area that is
surrounded more by rural residential uses than by agriculture. The population of the
Prunedale area is between 5,240 and 11,800 depending upon where a person decides to
select the boundary defining this community. It has the greatest population within North
County but it is not compact with urban densities like Castroville and Pajaro. The
community of Aromas is located at the northeastern corner of North County at the borders
of Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. Aromas is surrounded by both
agricultural and rural residential land uses. There are several small rural residential enclaves
throughout North County that receive one or more urban type service through the
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 5
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
establishment of a County Service Area (CSA). Each CSA is managed by the County of
Monterey Public Works Department. These CSAs are discussed in this report.
Public education is provided for the majority of the area by the North Monterey County
Unified School District. This school district provides public education for grades K-12 in the
Moss Landing, Castroville and Prunedale areas. The Aromas/San Juan School District
provides education in grades K-8 for the community of Aromas and residents in part of
adjoining San Benito County. The communities of Pajaro and Las Lomas and their vicinity
are served by the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. Most of this school district is
located in Santa Cruz County and provides public education for grades K-12. School
districts are not included in MSRs as their planning is governed by regulations of the State
Department of Education.
There are 17 special service districts and 13 CSAs serving North County residents. Of these,
5 are County-wide or large region-wide districts that provide services for substantially more
residents who live outside of the North County area than within it. One CSA also provides
services for a much larger area of the county. These County-wide and large region-wide
districts are:
Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District
Monterey County Water Resources Agency
Monterey County Resource Conservation District
Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency
Monterey Regional Waste Management District
County Service Area #74 (Emergency Medical Service)
These districts and their agencies will be discussed in another MSR prepared for LAFCO of
Monterey County. The North County MSR will inventory the services of the following
districts and their agencies:

* These multi-area and multi-county districts will be discussed within this report.
This report will include an inventory of the services provided by one district with
boundaries that extend beyond the beyond North County but are entirely within Monterey
County—the Moss Landing Harbor District. The Harbor District extends beyond the North
County area to the east towards Salinas. Since the facilities of this district area all located
within North County and much of the district is also within the North County, a discussion
of this district will be provided in this report. In addition, both the Pajaro Public Cemetery
District and the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) include a larger
geographic area within adjoining Santa Cruz County. Similarly, the Aromas Water District
includes a geographic area that extends within San Benito County, which adjoins the
eastern edge of Monterey County. The Aromas Tri-County Fire Protection District includes
land in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. This report will discuss the first two
of these districts briefly as they are under the jurisdiction of Santa Cruz County LAFCO and
a Municipal Service Review being prepared by that agency will discuss the Pajaro Cemetery
District and PVWMA in detail. The latter two districts will be discussed in more detail.
Information will discuss their ability to provide services to the area they serve as district-
wide services affect the adequacy of their services to their residents within Monterey
County.

INVENTORY OF SERVICE DISTRICTS
A comprehensive view of North County service districts and CSAs and the population they
serve are provided on the following pages within this section of the report. Figure 1
delineates the boundaries of all the districts on a single sheet to show the geographic
relationship of the various districts and CSAs. Figure 2 maps the population densities within
North County to illustrate where population centers are located. The table in Figure 3
identifies the services provided by each district and CSA in a manner that facilitates
comparison of the services provided by each agency.
The following sections of this report provide information pertaining to each of the
Municipal Services Review factors for the 12 service districts and the Community Service
Areas (CSAs) serving the North County area. The information is based primarily on
information provided directly to the report preparers by staff of each of the service districts
and the County Public Works Department during the latter months of 2003. This
information was derived by reviewing the consultant-designed questionnaires after they
were completed by the district staffs and other supplemental materials they provided
followed by interviewing management staff at each of the districts. In the case of the CSAs,
staff of the County of Monterey Public Works Department was interviewed as that agency
manages all of the CSAs within North County.
The informational discussions for each service district begin with a description of the
service area of the district and the services provided to district residents. A more detailed
map of the service area for each district and CSA follows this initial description. The
discussions for the individual districts conclude with a section titled “Summary and
Determinations”. This subsection summarizes the most significant information within the
inventory and provides important conclusions about service capabilities. Recommendations
for future actions are purposely not included in this section as this is not the purpose of this
report. The report is designed to provide key information about existing situations for each
district so LAFCO staff and Commission members have adequate baseline data towards
making recommendations and informed decisions in the near future.

PAJARO/SUNNY MESA COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District provides potable water service, street
lighting, and park maintenance for the community of Pajaro and the residential enclaves
known as the Sunny Mesa subdivision and the Hillcrest subdivision, both located two miles
south of Pajaro. For several years the Community Service District was made up of two sub-
areas in three discontiguous geographic areas–Pajaro and Sunny Mesa. (See Figure 4). In
2004 the District annexed a large area east of the Pajaro and Sunny Mesa areas and four
discontiguous areas to the southeast adjacent to Highway 1. (See Figure 4A). The large area
to the east extends to San Miguel Canyon Road and includes the area served by the Vega
Road Mutual Water system. The four discontiguous areas serve residential enclaves on
Jensen, Springfield and Struve Roads that were previously experiencing serious water
quality problems due to salt and nitrate contamination of their individual wells a small
water system that served the Springfield Road subarea. The small urban community of
Pajaro is the largest sub-area in population. The District’s charter also includes providing
recreational programs, but providing these programs was curtailed in 2000 due to
budgetary constraints. The District manages the Vega Mutual Water System under contract
with the Board of Directors of that system and provides street, storm sewer and landscaping
maintenance under contract with five small subdivisions located within the Sunny Mesa
area. The service area of this water system has now been incorporated into the District as
part of the annexation of territory to the east of Pajaro.
The District is within the Pajaro groundwater basin. Groundwater management and
planning is governed by the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA), which
has adopted a groundwater management plan for the Pajaro basin. In response to the
groundwater overdraft and salt water intrusion situation of the Pajaro groundwater basin,
the PVWMA adopted two ordinances in 1998 that restrict the exportation of groundwater
beyond the basin except to meet health or safety needs. The PVWMA is one of the other
agencies discussed in this report.
The District was formed in 1992 by consolidating the area formerly served by the Pajaro
Fire District and the Sunny Mesa Mutual Water Company. The Pajaro Fire District was
formed in 1941 to provide fire protection services for the community of Pajaro, but its
single fire engine was always housed at the City of Watsonville’s main fire station in
downtown Watsonville. Watsonville, located on the opposite side of the Pajaro River from
Pajaro, provided back-up fire protection and domestic water service for the community of
Pajaro for several years. In 1983 the Pajaro Fire District was reorganized into the Pajaro
Community Services District. The Pajaro Fire District was dissolved in the following year
with the consolidation of the area into the North County Fire Protection District. A
Community Service District was formed to provide park and street lighting services for the
community of Pajaro.
In 1986 the District bought the water system serving Pajaro from the City of Watsonville.
Domestic water service became the primary service for the District. In 1992 the District
annexed the residential areas served by the Sunny Mesa Mutual Water Company/CSA 73
and consolidated services with that area.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The Community Services District owns and operates multiple water systems, including one
serving Pajaro and another water system serving the Sunny Mesa area. A pipeline to join
these two systems is planned for construction in the near future. The District also owns and
maintains a small park in Pajaro. Three other small “pocket parks” in Pajaro are also
maintained by the District, but the District does not own these sites. Two park sites are
leased to the District and the third site is a portion of the County right-of-way beyond the
roadway. The District contracts with PG&E to provide street lighting, but provides
maintenance inspections and billing for the street lights. The infrastructure owned or
maintained by the District is shown in the two tables below.
The major facilities listed in the two tables below are shown on Figure 2. These facilities do
not meet current needs of the District. The two water systems need to be joined into a
single system so wells and tanks in one sub-area can serve the other sub-area during
emergencies or major maintenance of equipment without an interruption in water service.
District staff also states that one water main and several lateral lines in Pajaro need to be
replaced due to their age. The parks do not meet the needs of District residents. They do
not include any athletic fields nor recreational centers; none of the park sites are located
within the Sunny Mesa sub-area and only one park site is owned by the District. The two
small parks owned by the Berlanga family are leased to the District with both leases limited
to 5 year lease agreements that are renewable at the owner’s option. The District office was
recently remodeled to meet increased service demands and to create a Board hearing room.
The District has expanded its service area to annex the Vega Road and Hudson Landing
Road areas south of the Sunny Mesa subdivision and the Springfield/Jensen/Struve Road
area along the coast. These annexations include a land area of 7,350 acres and are
coordinated with federal and State grant funding to finance new pipelines to serve residents
of the new expansion areas. The District has also been building its capital expenditure
reserve fund to construct a new well and new storage tanks to serve both residents within
existing District boundaries and those within the new expansion area. The new facilities
will also replace inadequate facilities that now serve residents in the expansion areas. In the
past the Struve Road water system well periodically failed to meet water quality standards.
Many of these facilities are impacted by nitrate contamination, seawater intrusion or both.
The new water facilities that District plans on constructing in the near future would be
located near the existing Pajaro #2 well and tank site on Railroad Avenue and Lewis Roads
in Pajaro. Additionally, a new well is planned at Moss Landing Middle School to replace
the contaminated wells on Struve Road. The California Department of Health Services
(DHS) has provided a $425,000 grants for this project. The planned facilities are shown in
Table 3.

New storage tank 1,000,000 gallons
New storage building 3,200 sq. ft.
New water mains 9,000 lineal feet
Construction of the new water mains facilities were previously expected to be funded by a
grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and DHS. A grant from the USDA
has been expected to finance the installation of new pipelines to serve the Hudson Landing
and Vega Road areas. DHS approved the coastal area project for funding in 2002, but more
recent State budgetary problems resulted in a loss of the DHS grant and financing of this
part of the new pipeline system will have to be obtained from another source. District
bonds or Certificates of Participation are being considered.
Facilities in the District have been damaged by earthquake and flooding in recent years.
The Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the Sunny Mesa storage tank in 1989. Flooding of the
Pajaro River in both 1995 and 1998 damaged wells and pumps by filling them with
sediment. These facilities have all been repaired. In addition, 15,000,000 gallons of District
water was used to remove sediment in Pajaro streets and yards after the 1998 flood. Such
environmental disasters substantially increase maintenance costs.
The District also operates five water systems previously owned and operated by Alisal
Water Corporation (ALCO). These systems are the NORMCO, Moss Landing. Blackie Road,
Langley-Valle-Pacifico and Vierra Estates water systems. The U. S. District Court has
approved purchase of these systems by the District. Title is anticipated to transfer in January
2006.
The District is currently investigating the possibility of developing a regional desalination
plant in Moss Landing to address groundwater nitrate contamination and seawater intrusion
problems. A 98 year lease for a 20 acre site has been secured. The lease includes existing
sea water intake and outfall pipes. The District has also entered into development
agreement with Poseidon Resources Corporation to pursue permits and other approvals for
the project. The District is currently seeking other agencies interested in partnering in this
project which is intended to supplement water needs beyond those needed by
Pajaro/Sunnny Mesa.

2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The population of the District fluctuates due to many of Pajaro’s residents residing in the
community only during the warmer months of the year to work in the agricultural fields
during harvest season. The population of the Sunny Mesa sub-area is more stable. The
normal Pajaro population of 4,500 increases to 6,000 during the summer months. Water
connections remain stable at 683 connections. Of these, 25 connections are for heavy
commercial/industrial uses. The remaining 658 connections serve residential and small
retail uses. The District relies on AMBAG and the Monterey County Planning Department
for future population projections. The population within the existing District boundaries
projected for 2010 is 6,050 persons. The projected Pajaro population in 2020 is 6,350
persons. As population within the existing service area grows, so will the demand on local
water supplies. This will exacerbate the current groundwater overdraft/salt water intrusion
problem unless a regional solution to the problem is implemented.
As discussed in section 1 above, the future population of the District will also include
residents of the newly annexed area. The current population of this area is 1,150. This
population is expected to increase to 1,175 in 2010 and to 1,200 in 2020. Therefore, the
total population of the District anticipated for the year 2020 will be 7,350 persons.
The proposed County General plan shows some urban expansion of Pajaro, but District staff
is not certain where the final urban expansion boundaries will be located. This uncertainty
has postponed planning for some future facilities such as installation routes for new water
lines.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District’s budget for fiscal year 2002-03 was $462,450. This represents a small increase
of $2,500 compared to the previous fiscal year and an increase of $62,950 over the FY
2000-01 budget. Similar to other districts providing water service, service charges provide
the leading source of revenue at $311,950 for FY 2002-03. Payment for contract services
and rents provides the second greatest revenue source at $75,000. Providing special
services under contract to small areas both within and outside of the District has provided a
good source of revenue. For several years, the District has had a contractual agreement with
the Vega Mutual Water Company to manage their water system. However, this source of
revenue will be terminated when the facilities of the Vega Mutual water system is acquired
by the District in 2006. It is expected that the Vega Mutual facilities will becomes part of
the District owned resources in 2006. LAFCO had previously approved the annexation of
the area served by Vega Mutual. The District also contracts with the residential areas listed
in the table below to provide services beyond those provided to other District residents to
maintain private streets, storm sewers and common open space. These residential areas are
within the Sunny Mesa and Hillcrest sub-area. The District previously rented a portion of its
District Office to the County to house a branch office of the County Agricultural
Commissioner. However, this rental ceased when the District recently remodeled the
District office building.
As mentioned in section 1, the District operates the five former ALCO water systems. The
monthly revenues from these systems are approximately $19,000/month.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The District water service charges are set in a two-tiered rate structure. Monthly water use
quantities of 0-500 cubic feet are charged at a rate of $1.24/100 cubic feet. Quantities
above 501 cubic feet/month are charged $1.30/cubic foot. Rates do not differ between
heavy commercial/industrial customers and residential/small retail customers. The only
difference between these two customer types is the frequency of billing. Heavy commercial
customers are billed each month and the latter customers are billed once during a two-
month period. The rates do not include a tiered structure that charges a higher rate for water
used above a certain volume each month. A tiered rate structure is used by other districts to
promote water conservation, but it also has the affect of increasing revenues from the larger
domestic water users.
Recreational and park services are not provided by regular district staff. Rather, the District
contracts with an individual for maintenance of the four parks. Currently the cost is
$7,000/year for regular maintenance of landscaping and park facilities. Some supplemental
maintenance is also provided by District staff. This maintenance contract is viewed as
necessary since the maintenance staff of the District is limited to four staff. Other contract
services are for an attorney, auditor, construction repairs and replacement of facilities and
engineering and permitting assistance for new facilities. These are services that most small
service districts do not have within their regular staff.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
As discussed in previous sections, the District realized rental income by sharing its District
Office building with the County Agricultural Commissioner’s Office. District staff also
provides management services for the Vega Mutual Water Company. The usable facilities of
this water system will be integrated into the larger District water system when the Vega
Road area is annexed to the District.
The larger issue now facing the District is the possible consolidation of the Pajaro Sanitation
District with Pajaro/Sunny Mesa. The Sanitation District includes the two communities of
Pajaro and Las Lomas which are located about 4 miles away from each other. The Monterey
County Public Works Department manages the Sanitation District. Its facilities include
sewers and booster pumps that transport sewage to the Watsonville wastewater treatment
plant, in Santa Cruz County, for treatment and disposal. The County of Monterey wants to
divest itself of the Sanitation District and plans on transferring the system to either a private
company or to the District. An application to reorganize and consolidate the Community
Services District to include the Sanitation District is pending with LAFCO. Such a
consolidation would require annexation of Las Lomas into the District.
Similar to Sanitation District issue, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa is expected to make an application to
LAFCO this year for consolidating the Moss Landing Water system and five other water
systems in Prunedale with that of the District. The systems located in the Prunedale area
include the NORMCO (North Monterey County), Blackie Road, Vierra Estates and
Langley/Valle Pacifico water systems. These water systems were owned and operated by the
Alco Water Company which has declared bankruptcy and forced into receivership. On
March 9, 2004 U. S. District Court ordered the sale of these systems to Pajaro/Sunny Mesa.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 30
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
Consolidating these water systems into the District will require an annexation of the Moss
Landing area and the service areas of the five Prunedale water systems into the District and
expansion of the District’s SOI. As Moss Landing and Prunedale are located beyond the
regional boundaries of PVWMA, export of water from sources in the communities of Pajaro
or Sunny Mesa to Moss Landing or Prunedale are prohibited by the two PVWMA
ordinances that restrict exporting water outside of the jurisdictional area of PVWMA and the
Pajaro basin. These new areas, previously served by ALCO suffer from arsenic and nitrate
contamination and seawater intrusion in the groundwater supplies. The District is pursuing
alternative water supplies, including desalination, as a source of replacement water for
these areas.
The County Redevelopment Area includes Pajaro. This agency is authorized to construct
community facilities, such as streets, parks and sewers, with the Redevelopment Area using
specialized revenue sources that are not available to service districts. The agency could
purchase land and construct facilities to provide additional park space for the Pajaro sub-
area of the District. This would require increased coordination and combination between
the agency and the District.
The District is within the Pajaro groundwater basin and could benefit from coordination
with the PVWMA. One of the primary purposes of the regional agency is implementation of
a groundwater management plan to reverse the affects of overdraft and seawater intrusion
that affect the basin. PVWMA is implementing groundwater recharge projects to reduce the
pumping of agricultural wells in both Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. A more detailed
description of PVWMA is provided in the chapter that discusses the regional agency. There
may be opportunities for the District share facilities with the PVWMA in the future. During
2005, District staff and representatives of PVWMA held preliminary discussions regarding
desalination as a potential solution to seawater intrusion and the regional overdraft
problem. However, no agreements on this subject have been made between the two
agencies.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by a five member Board of Directors which is appointed by the
County Board of Supervisors. The Board meets once/month at its newly constructed Board
meeting room. Previously, it met at the Porter Community Center in Pajaro. The Board has
not adopted a planning document for the District, but relies on information in the North
County General Plan when considering issues that affect, or can be affected by, land use.
The PVWMA Basin Management Plan affects much of the District’s water planning. The
PVWMA has adopted two ordinances that forbid any water district to export its water
outside of the Pajaro water basin, with some exceptions to address health or safety.
PVWMA has stated it has concerns about District plans to transfer water from one portion of
the District to another without an overall groundwater management strategy.
The North County Recreation and Park District provides lunch and recreational programs
under contract with a non-profit organization in Pajaro. Although the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa no
longer has funds to provide recreational programs of its own, it does not coordinate with
North County Recreation District. Initiating communication with the Recreation District
may provide some additional recreational opportunities for District residents.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 31
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
The boundaries of the District and its Sphere of Influence are presently the same. The recent
annexation expanded the SOI to the same boundary as the newly expanded District. The
Board, however, has submitted an application to LAFCO to expand its SOI and District
boundaries again to include the community of Las Lomas as part of the proposed
consolidation with the Sanitation District. The Board is also investigating expansion of the
SOI to include Moss Landing and the five areas in Prunedale discussed above which are
served by the former ALCO water systems. If approved, this could allow possible
annexation of that community into the District and purchase of the private water system that
serves Moss Landing and areas of Prunedale.
7. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The District staff is comprised of seven full-time employees—a general manager, two
operator/maintenance specialists, an office manager, two clerks and two part-time
maintenance staff. These seven positions conduct all regular work for the District that is not
under contract for outside personnel services. As discussed in section 4, these contracts are
limited to the services of one person to maintain District managed parks and interim
professional services that are not typically included in the staff of small agencies (i.e.
attorney, civil engineering services, etc.). Staff training is focused on skills required for the
maintenance of the operator/treatment license for the maintenance specialist and computer
skills for the office manager. The District recently purchased a new computer system.
The District office is equipped with conventional office technology, but upgrades will be
needed to keep pace with current technology provided at other local agencies. The District
does not have a radio telemetry system to electronically operate wells and booster pumps at
remote locations. The purchase and training for such an automated systems is not in the
District’s near-future plans.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
District Board meetings are posted at the District Office and at the Porter-Vallejo
Community Center/library 12 times/year; however, these meetings are not currently noticed
in area newspapers unless it a special meeting beyond the 12 regular scheduled meetings
during the year. Under State law, any meeting that discusses street lighting must be noticed
by mail to each District resident. This requirement is followed for the few meetings where
street lighting is on the agenda.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 32
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. District infrastructure needs to be upgraded to meet the needs of residents in the areas
of domestic water service and parks and recreation. The District is engaged in plans to
construct new facilities towards meeting current domestic water needs. There are no
plans to improve park facilities or recreational programs. Funding by District Certificates
of Participation has been approved for the needed infrastructure to serve both the
Hudson Landing and Struve Road project areas, and for the proposed desalination plant
in Moss Landing.
2. The population and service area of the District will grow significantly during the next
few years due to both population growth and expansion of the District boundaries to
include the Vega Road and Hudson Landing areas south of current District boundaries
and the Springfield/Jensen/Struve Road area along the coast.
3. In addition to the service area expansion described above, the District is in favor of
consolidating with the Pajaro Sanitation District and is pursuing the annexation of the
area now served by the Moss Landing water system and several mutual water systems in
the Prundale area to the District. If both expansions are approved, the service area of
the District would expand substantially to include the inland community of Las Lomas,
the coastal community of Moss Landing and several areas in Prundale. Serving Moss
Landing and areas in Prundale would expand the District beyond the Pajaro basin and
the boundaries of the PVWMA. Two ordinances adopted by the regional agency restrict
the District from serving Moss Landing and areas in Prunedale with exported water
procured from wells inside the jurisdictional area of the PVWMA. The District is
pursuing the development of a regional desalination plant in Moss Landing, in part, to
address this address this issue. If this project goes forward, it would be designed to help
meet water needs for other jurisdictions beyond the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa CSD service
area.
4. Providing special services under contract to five small residential areas within the
District is a good source of revenue and can be done adequately with existing staff.
However, the District does not maintain the four parks it manages but rather contracts
with an outside service to perform this task.
5. Water service fees are based on a two-tiered rate structure based on amount of water
consumption. Adopting a three-tiered rate structure could increase revenues for water
service.
6. The District no longer provides recreation programs for residents. A potential for some
recreation programs occurring exists through communication and coordination with the
North County Recreation and Park District.
7. The District procures water from the Pajaro basin a groundwater basin that is
experiencing overdraft and seawater intrusion. The Pajaro Valley Water Management
Agency is the regional agency that manages the groundwater basin to reverse these
groundwater impacts. Increased communication with the regional agency could help
the District in future planning for water facilities and conservation of groundwater
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 33
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
resources. Beginning in 2005, communication was heightened between the two
agencies with preliminary discussion regarding PVWMA receiving water from
Pajaro/Sunny Mesa’s proposed regional desalination plant.
8. District facilities are operated manually at the each well and storage tank site. The
District does not have computerized resources to operate these facilities electronically
from remote locations (such as the District office).
9. Public hearings are held once/month. They are not regularly noticed in the newspaper.
Mailed notices to each resident are provided for any meeting where street lighting is
addressed in accordance with State law.

AROMAS TRI-COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Aromas Tri-County Fire Protection District provides fire suppression and emergency
response services to a geographic area at the intersection of three counties surrounding and
including the village of Aromas. The District was formed in 1952 with an all-volunteer fire
fighting staff. In 1962 a part-time fire chief was hired as the District’s first paid employee.
The “Old Firehouse” building in the center of the village of Aromas served as the fire station
until 1977 when a new station was constructed on Carpenteria Road at Seely Avenue at the
edge of the village. The paid staff grew to 3 persons in that same year. In 1993 the District’s
Board determined that services could be better provided by contracting with the California
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF). The District maintains a contract with
CDF’s San Benito/Monterey Unit to provide all personnel and management services.
Originally, most of the District included parcels in Monterey County with small areas in
Santa Cruz and San Benito County. In 1981 the District annexed a 10 square mile area in
San Benito County, which corresponded to the boundaries of the former Live Oak Water
District. Currently the District serves 1,129 parcels in Monterey County, 933 parcels in San
Benito County and 70 parcels in Santa Cruz County. The Highway 101 corridor traverses
through the District.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
District facilities are located at a single location on Carpenteria Road in the San Benito
County side of the village of Aromas. District infrastructure includes:
Fire station – 5,500 square feet of floor area
Butler building – 1,200 sq. ft.
Generator building – 100 sq. ft.
Gas house – 100 sq. ft.
The station has 2 fire engines. A third engine is scheduled to be delivered and be
operational in September 2003. Fire hydrants and water storage facilities serve the newer
residential subdivisions within the area. These facilities are not owned by the Fire District
but rather have been required as subdivision improvements by the Counties of Monterey
and San Benito. Typically, 70% of the storage capacity of a storage tank must be reserved
for fire protection. Tanks and hydrants are usually owned by the homeowners or mutual
water systems of the subdivision.
The fire station is 25 years old and is need in some upgrading and expansion to meet
current needs of the District. More important, according to CDF staff, is the need for a
second fire station to provide better response times for calls in the San Benito County
portion of the District. A new fire station would, therefore, be located in the eastern portion
of the District. The District has a fiscal account of encumbered funds dedicated for a new
fire station, the amount of which increases yearly. A formal site selection process has not
yet been initiated to find a site for the new station.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The Fire District presently serves an area with a population of 6,000 persons. However, the
high volume of commute traffic along the Highway 101 corridor and intersecting arterial
roadways, such as Highways 129 and 156, significantly increase emergency response and
fire protection calls beyond levels normal for a population of 6,000. CDF staff estimate that
commute traffic can add as much as 102,500 additional people passing through the District
on weekdays; although this figure has not been verified by the report’s authors for accuracy.
Fire District personnel are the first on the scene and provide the first level of response for all
traffic accidents on these roadways. Both counties contract with private ambulance service
but due to the fire station’s proximity to these highways, Fire District personnel will arrive at
the scene of accidents before the personnel of the ambulance services arrive. CDF staff
estimate that 65% of all District calls are for traffic accidents along these roadways.
Regardless of actual number of commuters driving through the District, this issue is of
substantial concern to the District as it requires provision of service for persons who do not
live within the District and do not help fund its operations. As more people commute
between areas in Monterey and San Benito Counties and the San José area, this unfunded
service will rise beyond existing levels.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 39
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
The General Plans of Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties promote conservation of
agricultural land and low density rural development within the area of the District, while
the San Benito County General Plan promotes a greater level of development, including
some development at suburban densities in the area. This has generated a trend for more
fire protection and emergency response service in the San Benito County portion of the
District than within the other two counties. This trend is expected to continue into the
foreseeable future. In addition, the employment/housing imbalance in the San José area has
generated a substantial increase in the San José area workforce buying housing in northern
Monterey and San Benito Counties and commuting daily to work via Highway 101. The
San José employment/housing imbalance is expected to worsen in the near future resulting
in greater volumes of commute traffic along the Highway 101 corridor. The majority of
Highway 101 and its connecting arterials are located in the San Benito County portion of
the District. This situation increases the need for planning to meet future increased levels of
service in the eastern portion of the District so services in the Monterey County and Santa
Cruz County portions of the District will not be compromised.
Another future population issue facing the District is which District will serve the new
Rancho Larios subdivision in San Benito County. The 702 acre subdivision and its 140
residential lots are located within the Sphere of Influence of the San Benito County Fire
District; however, the minimum response time from the nearest station in that district is 10
minutes. The Aromas District station could provide a response time of less than 4 minutes
to the subdivision if an additional station is constructed within the San Benito portion of the
District. More expedient response time supports a position that the Spheres of Influence of
these two fire districts should be modified to allow service provided by the Aromas District.
If this occurs, it will mean increased service responsibilities for Aromas Tri-County Fire and
exacerbate the need for a second fire station. If the San Benito County Fire District retains its
current Sphere and annexes the subdivision, the Aromas Fire District will still be required to
provide first response to calls under the mutual aid agreement of the two Districts. Either
scenario will affect service throughout the District.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District adopts a budget each year which is audited annually. The budget for the 2002-
03 fiscal year was $1,292,434. This includes a one-time federal grant from FEMA to
purchase a new engine and therefore is $297,413 greater than the budget for the previous
fiscal year. The budget for FY 2001-02 was also higher than that of the preceding fiscal year
by $32,527. Property taxes provide the largest source of revenue. Such revenues will
provide 89% of district revenues or $873,045 for the current fiscal year. County funds,
primarily as a result of the passage of Proposition 172, provide about 6% of total revenues
and are the second greatest revenue source. Statewide voter approval of Proposition 172
allows Counties to collect a ½ cent sales tax to finance emergency services and distribute
then to emergency service agencies. Monterey County provides approximately $56,000 of
Proposition 172 funds to the District annually. For FY 2002-03 this amount was $56,459.
Other County funds for emergency medical services (EMS) provided $1,165. These
revenues and other less significant revenues are shown in the pie chart below.
The District budget provides expenditure categories in the areas shown on the
accompanying pie chart. The majority of funds in the Professional Services category provide
for salaries and benefits for CDF personnel hired to carry out District services. This
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 40
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
expenditure category of $811,684 is followed by $282,800 allocated for supplies and
equipment expenditures.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
All District services are provided by outside sources. The vast majority of contract services
are provided by CDF to provide fire fighting, maintenance and management personnel to
carryout the functions of the District. In 1993 District Board of Directors made a fiscal
decision to contract with CDF to provide these services rather than hire personnel directly.
CDF had a much greater level of human and technical resources than had previously
existed at the Aromas District and continues to provide service to the satisfaction of the
Board. Contracting for CDF services is viewed by CDF personnel as a method of eliminating
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 41
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
unnecessary cost while providing good service. The only other significant contracted
service is for the annual audit. The 2002-03 budget allocated $3,225 for this service.
There are no service rates charged by the District for development plan checks,
construction inspections, emergency service calls or other functions performed by
contracted CDF staff. Plan check and inspection fees associated with new development is a
potential source of additional income for the District. Most fire districts charge plan check
and inspection fees to cover the staff time for these tasks.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
As discussed previously, the District relies on the use of CDF for the staffing and
management functions of the District. The San Benito/Monterey Unit headquarters of CDF
provides office resources for District management staff and fiscal support staff. The
remainder of this section will discuss other existing and potential shared resources that are
beyond the District’s contractual agreement with CDF.
District participates in a mutual aid fire suppression and emergency response agreements
with the following fire districts: North County, San Benito County and Pajaro Valley. The
other service providers within the Monterey County portion of the vicinity are the Aromas
Water District and County Service Area #31 (Aromas Hill Subdivision). The Water District
covers an area smaller than the Fire District. It owns wells, water storage tanks, pipelines
and some hydrants that could be used to provide additional water for fire fighting events.
CSA #31 is formed to maintain surface drainage facilities within two small residential areas
of the village of Aromas. The CSA does not own any facilities. Drainage improvements are
within easements on private properties. Services are provided by personnel employed by
the Monterey County Public Works Department. It appears that the facilities and
jurisdictional areas of the two other service providers in the area provide limited
opportunities for shared facilities
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The mission statement of the District is:
To protect life, property and the environment by providing professional
response to fire, traffic, collision, medical and hazardous material and
emergency incidents; to promote fire safety and public awareness: and
finally to provide these services within the boundaries of the Aromas Tri-
County Fire Protection District and within other jurisdictions as per mutual
aid agreements.
The District is governed by a five member Board of Directors that are elected at-large for 4
year terms. The Board meets 7 times/year. The Board adopted a Strategic Plan in May 2002
as the primary planning document for the District. The Strategic Plan provides a detailed
mission statement, describes current programs, lists activities to meet adopted goals of each
function of District personnel (e.g. finance, facilities, levels of service) and provides a 5 year
financial project and a 10 year capital improvement plan. Future demand within the Fire
District is primarily governed by the General Plans of the three counties where the District
is located and commute traffic levels on major arterial roadways through the District. Land
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 42
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
use issues and traffic issues affecting District operations are discussed under section 2
above.
7. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
District does not have any staff, but rather contracts with CDF for staffing and management
services. CDF provides 9.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees to staff the District fire
station in Aromas. This staffing level has remained constant over the last three fiscal years.
The contracted CDF employees include an engine company and battalion chief who all
work at the fire station and 0.5 FTE support staff that work out of the CDF unit headquarters
in Monterey. Support staff include a mechanic (0.25 FTE), a division chief (.05 FTE) and
personnel support (.20 FTE). The fire station is staffed 24 hours/day with staff working a 72
hour shift/week. (3 full days on and 4 days off each week). Each shift includes 4 staff
personnel for an engine company that respond to calls. The battalion chief is employed
during one of the shifts. A CDF battalion chief from an adjacent battalion cover emergency
calls in the absence of the regular battalion chief.
The staffing arrangement with CDF works well for the District. CDF is able to provide well
trained personnel to provide service from the fire station as well as utilize its personnel
resources at the CDF Unit headquarters to provide support services. These support services
require differing types of tasks and abilities but none require the employment of a FTE
employee to address District needs. If the District was to provide these support services
directly, personnel costs would be higher and the budget would be impacted.
CDF also provides training programs for all its employees including those working out of
the District fire station. CDF’s coordination of training programs alleviates this responsibility
from the District. The fire station is equipped with conventional office technology. The
District is currently updating its computer-aided dispatch resources to a digitized GIS
mapping of the District that will improve identification of properties and addresses. The
District and its contracted personnel have an excellent safety record during recent years. No
environmental or permitting violations have occurred with District activities.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District conducts public Board meetings 7 times/year. Meeting agendas are posted and
faxed to local newspapers. However, only the Watsonville Register-Pajaronian publishes
notices of the District’s public meetings. An annual newsletter is mailed to all customers
within the District. This newsletter discusses fire prevention techniques and some issues
facing the District.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 43
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The high volume of commute traffic along Highway 101 and its intersecting arterials
will continue to generate service calls to aid people living outside of the District. As
commute levels continue to rise along the corridor, the District will need to
incrementally increase its expenditures for this type of service each year.
2. The development of Rancho Larios and continued high traffic levels along the Highway
101 corridor will result in a higher level of service calls occurring within the San Benito
County portion of the District rather than within the Monterey and Santa Cruz County
portions combined.
3. A second fire station is needed to better serve the eastern portion (San Benito County) of
the District. A fund has been established to encumber funds towards purchase of a site
and construction of a new station, but this fund has not yet grown to levels where the
purchase of a new site can occur.
4. In the view of the District’s Board contracting with CDF to provide management and
staffing for the District continues to work well from both a service efficiency and fiscal
standpoint.
5. Potential additional sources of revenue are charges for checking plans for new
development and non-emergency event inspections.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 44
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
NORTH COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The North County Fire Protection District provides fire suppression and emergency
response services to 125 square mile area stretching from the coast east to the San Benito
County line. The Aromas Tri-County Fire District adjoins the northeast boundary of the
District. The District grew out of the Castroville Fire Protection District, which was formed
in 1949 to serve the Castroville and Moss Landing areas. In 1971 the Castroville Fire
District annexed the rural area east of Elkhorn Slough, known as the Elkhorn area. In 1972
the Castroville District was consolidated with the Hall Fire Protection District, which served
Las Lomas, and the Greater Hall Fire District, which served the rural area surrounding Las
Lomas. In 1981 voters in the North County area approved an initiative to reorganize fire
protection services north of Salinas under one fire agency, with the exception that voters in
the Aromas area chose to keep their local fire district a separate agency. The approval of the
voter initiative resulted in the consolidation of the 1972 boundaries of the Castroville Fire
District with that of portions of the Salinas Rural Fire District serving the Prunedale vicinity
to form the North County Fire Protection District. The new consolidated District became
operational as a unified agency on January 1, 1982. The present boundaries are the same as
those created in 1982. In 1991 the fire district took over the fire protection services of the
Pajaro Fire Protection District through a LAFCO annexation and reorganization.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The Fire District operates from three stations staffed 24 hours a day each with an engine
company for a total District coverage of at least seven firefighters. Additional reserve and
off-duty firefighters are summoned when needed via radio pagers. The District responded
to approximately 2500 emergency calls in 2004. Roughly 75% of these are medical
emergencies and vehicle accidents.
Each station has a first-out structural fire also engine and a reserve engine that is equipped
with medical aid and rescue equipment, a brush engine for fighting wildland fires. Stations
1 & 2 have a water tender capable of carrying a water supply to a fire. There is a
specialized aerial ladder truck and a heavy rescue unit in service at Station 1 and Station 3
respectively.
The District’s ISO insurance grade is a “4.” The ISO grade is used by the insurance industry
to set rates for insurance premiums. A grade of 1 is the best, and a 10 is the same as no fire
protection at all. The District improved its grade in 2005 from an 8 to 4 which represented
a substantial decrease in insurance premiums for most businesses and residents depending
on how close they are to a fire hydrant or fire station.
All full-time firefighters are trained and equipped as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT)
and reserve firefighters are trained to at least the First Responder level. Several reserves are
EMTs and three are trained Paramedics. All firefighters have the ability to provide
defibrillation to cardiac arrest patients.
The District is in the process of updating its capital facilities plans in light of many changes
in the past five years. The headquarters, training and maintenance facilities are currently in
the Castroville station. There is a need to relocate these functions to larger facilities with
better access. There is no plan currently in place, however.
Caltrans’ Highway 101 Prunedale Area Improvement Project has and will increasingly affect
the ability of the District to access and respond on Highway 101. The project includes
closing the highway median and various road accesses along Highway 101. Emergency
vehicles leaving the Prunedale fire station (Station #2) will have to travel east then south to
access the freeway, affectively moving it 1 to 2 minutes farther from homes to the north.
Additionally, direct access to Tustin Road and other proximate roads will be eliminated and
response times have and will continue to increase to this area. This problem can be
mitigated by adding a station or relocating the existing station to state owned land near the
intersection of North Prunedale and San Miguel Roads. If a new fire station is constructed
at Butterfly Village (see Section 2 below), the District could have two full-time, and one
reserve fire station serving the southeast portion of the District.
It is generally accepted that the administrative offices should be moved. There is no plan in
place at present for relocation. Therefore, it will remain at the Castroville station (Station #1)
for the foreseeable future.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 49
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
A project on the Duke Energy property in Moss Landing resulted in Duke purchasing an
aerial ladder truck to provide for coverage of their personnel working on the “Project” as it
was called. Duke has worked to decrease their tax liability ever since which has resulted in
the ladder truck not being staffed full time, which was the intent when it was purchased. At
present the District is down two full-time firefighter positions with no clear picture of when
these positions will be re-staffed.
In November 2005 the County Board of Supervisors approved a scaled down version of the
previously proposed Rancho San Juan planned unit development called Butterfly Village.
This is a major issue for the District as it affects planning for future infrastructure and the
population to be served. If the developer succeeds in the building the Butterfly Village
Estates project, land is to be provided for a fire station. This issue is discussed in the
following section below.

2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The Fire District presently serves an area with an estimated resident population of
approximately 40,000 persons. There are an estimated 1,500 vacant buildable residential
lots within the District, so the base population may increase, but not significantly, in the
foreseeable future. However, infill development at more urban residential densities in the
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 50
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
urbanized areas of Castroville, Las Lomas, Pajaro and possibly central Prunedale, could
result in more substantial population increases. It is expected the County’s new General
Plan will designate these “urban growth centers” to accommodate more residential
development. Of greater significance is the planned construction of a new 1,149 home
subdivision at Butterfly Village Estates.
There is also a high volume of commute and tourist traffic along Highway 1, Highway 101
and the two-lane arterials Highways 156 and 183, which connect to these two other
highways. The volume of traffic and the condition of these arterials significantly increase
emergency response and fire protection calls beyond levels normal for the Distrtict’s
population. The Fire District is the first responder on the scene of vehicle accidents and
provides initial trauma care and extrication services to the victims. While Monterey County
has a franchise contract with a private ambulance company to provide paramedic services,
ambulance companies are not equipped or trained to provide extrication or fire suppression
services at vehicular accidents, nor are they staffed to deal with traffic control or the landing
of helicopter ambulances. The three fire stations proximity to these highways and the
training and equipment of the firefighters puts Fire District personnel at the scene of
accidents before other services arrive.
Traffic along both corridors is projected to increase as tourism remains strong on the
Monterey Peninsula and commuting between the Salinas/North County area and the San
José area increases due to a continuing jobs/housing imbalance in San José. This issue is
similar to that experienced by the Aromas Tri-County Fire District, except that the high
volume traffic corridors with the North County Fire District are all located within Monterey
County and the North County District has two such traffic corridors located at
geographically opposite ends of the service area. Highway 1 is located along the western
edge near the coast and Highway 101 is located on the eastern edge of the District. Similar
to the Aromas Fire District, revenues do not address the need to provide a high proportion
of service calls for people who live outside of the District.
The need for a fourth (or fifth) station will be increased if the Butterfly Village Estates project
is constructed as planned. The County of Monterey has prepared a Specific Plan for this
area that could generate as much as 1,149 new dwellings, a golf course and several
commercial uses known as “Butterfly Villages” just north of the City of Salinas along San
Juan Grade Road. Butterfly Villages is a reduced version of a larger Specific Plan for the
Rancho San Juan area. The previous plan included a much larger development within the
southeast edge of the District that expanded into the adjoining Salinas Rural Fire District.
Butterfly Villages is contained within the North County Fire service area.
The District has negotiated with the HYH Corporation, the Butterfly Village developer, to
provide a site for a new fire station as the means to mitigate fire service impacts generated
by the project. It is anticipated that funding to purchase a site and construct a new station,
will be generated by development impact fees imposed on the project. Staffing the new
station would also have to be funded through additional revenue sources. District staff
believes a Special Zone of Benefit would need to be established for the Rancho San Juan
area to generate special taxes earmarked for personnel at the new station.

3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District adopts a budget each year which is audited annually. The budget for the 2002-
03 fiscal year is $5,657,638. This is significantly more than the budget for the previous
fiscal year because it includes an $800,000 carryover from FY 2001-02 for capital
improvements. The new power plant at Moss Landing also provides a significant new
source of tax revenue that was not available prior to FY 2002-03.
Property taxes provide the largest source of revenue. Such revenues provided 63% of
district revenues ($3,580,245) for the 2002-03 fiscal year. Funds resulting from voter
approved Proposition 172, which provides a 1/2 cent sales tax for emergency services,
provide the second largest revenue source. Propositions 172 funds provided 8.5% of
revenues ($483,415) for FY 2002-03. Other emergency medical services (EMS) funds
totaled $93,400.
Unlike the Aromas Tri-County Fire District, this district charges a fee to check plans for new
development and follow-up inspections. In addition, impact fees to mitigate for the service
needs generated by new development, provide an important source of revenue. By State
law and District resolution, these funds can only be used to purchase fixed assets. The
2003-04 budget anticipates total revenues of $295,000 from impact fees. (Also referred to
as “fire mitigation fees”.) This includes prior year balances and current year revenue.
Other revenues are shown in the pie chart below.
The District budget provides expenditure categories in the areas shown on the
accompanying pie chart. The majority of funds are budgeted in the salaries and benefits
category. However, 22% ($1,229,001) of all expenditures have been appropriated to the
reserve fund. This represents a financial commitment to plan for future infrastructure and
facility needs. The District has encumbered the existing amount of the reserve fund to
purchase two new fire engines.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
Similarly to other fire protection agencies, the District does not charge for primary mission
services. However, the District is investigating the ability to charge insurance companies for
extrication at automobile accidents. The District actively seeks cost recovery for incidents
that occurs as a result of grossly negligent or criminal activities such as reckless burning,
arson, and drunk driving.
A fee schedule has been adopted to charge for non-emergency services. These services
include plan checking for new development projects, fire safety inspections of newly
constructed buildings and non-emergency stand-by. The District has adopted a Fee for
Service Ordinance specifying that recipients of these services should be charge directly.
Fees were last updated in March, 2004.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District participates in automatic mutual aid agreement for fire suppression and
emergency response services with the following fire agencies: Aromas Tri-County, Salinas
Rural, City of Salinas, City of Marina the City of Watsonville. The area served by
Watsonville is entirely within Santa Cruz County. Aromas Tri-County serves an area that
includes parts of Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties. In addition, the District
has joint powers agreements for:
1. Worker’s compensation and liability insurance pooling;
2. Pre-employment physical conditioning consortium (with City of Seaside, City of
Carmel, Carmel Valley Fire District and Salinas Rural District);
3. Mobile breathing support in the northern portion of the District (With the City of
Watsonville and CDF’s Corralitos station); and
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 56
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
4. Mobile breathing support in the southern portion of the District (with Salinas
Rural and Carmel Valley Fire Districts).
The two JPA’s for breathing support involve joint ownership and use of a special fire truck
that contains equipment designed to fill mobile air bottles used by fire fighters during
unusual fire events. The specialized vehicles are housed at the City of Watsonville’s main
station and Salinas Rural Fire District’s Toro station. Typically, each fire district that shares
this equipment only needs to use the apparatus once/year. Shared ownership and use of this
type of equipment significantly lowers equipment costs for all fire districts participating in
the JPA for this equipment.
The District also coordinates employee training with adjoining fire districts and shares in the
costs for these training sessions. Presently, District staff is investigating the potential of
expanding this training consortium to include the cities on and near the Monterey
Peninsula.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The mission statement of the District is:
To protect life, property and the environment from fire and other
natural and man-made disasters.
The District Board has adopted goals to achieve their mission. The goals specify the type of
emergencies District staff will respond to, the types of public service outreach activities to
be conducted by staff and general personnel policies. Details of these goals are provided in
the appendix attached to the questionnaire completed by the District and is available for
review at the LAFCO of Monterey County office.
A five member Board of Directors governs the District. They are elected at-large for 4 year
terms. The Board meets once/month. The Board has not adopted a planning document for
the District. Future demand within the Fire District is primarily governed by the land use
designations of the North County General Plan and commute traffic levels on major arterial
roadways through the District. These issues are discussed under section 2 above.
7. EVALUATION OF MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The District employees a staff of 65 people; 35 are full-time staff and the remaining 30 are
part-time staff. Part-time staff includes stand-by reserve fire fighters. These are people that
usually have other regular employment and have agreed to respond to emergencies when
called to do so by the District. Administrative support, the Fire Marshall and the two
division chiefs work directly for the Fire Chief. The three engine companies are supervised
directly by the division chiefs. Each fire station is staffed 24 hours/day by 3 staff trained in
fire fighting/emergency response. Ten reserve fire fighters are assigned to each station.
They are only called to service when needed and are paid an hourly rate.
The Fire Marshal acts as the Fire Prevention Officer. This position is responsible for
managing the District’s fire prevention programs which include plan check review and
approval, drafting and presenting fire codes and associated fire safety recommendations to
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 57
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
the Board of Directors and an active public education outreach program. The public
education program includes the Children’s Fire Awareness Program, Pre-teen Program on
How to Deal with Disasters, presentations to homeowners groups upon request and
occasional CPR classes for the public.
Staff training is an on-going activity for fire fighting personnel. These staff members are
engaged in training a minimum average of 15 hours/month. Other personnel, such as office
support staff, are provided with training on an irregular basis.
In the past, office technology has not been uniform throughout the three stations. The
computer resources at Station 1/Headquarters was more advanced than at the other two
stations. Station 1 has its own Local Area Network (server). The system provides State
mandated statistics and internal data. The station also has an ACAD mapping system and
Fire Service Incident Software. The two other stations had stand alone computer systems
without connectivity to the Local Area Network at Station 1. Prior to 2004, integrating the
computer resources at all three stations was viewed as the greatest technology need for the
District. In 2004 the District initiated a major internet technology improvement program
which included access to the Station 1 server by the two outlying stations. Office
technology has been upgraded so as to be uniform throughout the three stations. The
system provides State mandated statistics and internal data. The station also has an ACAD
mapping system and fire incident software. Currently, the greatest technology need would
be having this computer and reporting system directly connected to the Dispatch computer
to decrease the duplication of effort of having District personnel enter information that
Dispatch already has on record.
An outside consultant audits the District budget annually. In recent years the firm of Berger
and Lewis Accounting Corporation has provided auditing services. The District has an
excellent safety record. There have not been any environmental nor any permit related
violations involving District management during the past 5 years.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District conducts public Board meetings once/month. Meetings are held at Station 1 in
Castroville. Agendas are posted and local newspapers are advised of each meeting.
However, publication of many meetings does not occur in some area newspapers. The
District has an on-going outreach/public education program which is discussed under
section 7 above. Placing this program under the supervision of the Fire Marshal provides a
strong emphasis for this program. A planning process is currently being conducted that will
include citizen input and feedback on District planning goals and documents.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 58
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. Future population of the District will increase substantially, primarily from development
at the recently approved “Butterfly Villages”. It is anticipated that a new fire station will
be constructed to serve the Butterfly Villages Estates. The District is currently negotiating
with the developer for a fire station site. Development impact fees are the most likely
source of funds for construction of the new station.
2. If the new fire station is constructed. a new source of funds will be necessary to provide
on-going staffing for this 4th station. Establishment of a Special Benefit Zone is a
possible source of funds to finance staffing services and similar on-going expenses.
3. The high volume of commute traffic along Highway 101 and its intersecting arterials
and high volumes of commute and tourist related traffic along Highway 1 will continue
to generate service calls to aid people living outside of the District. As traffic levels
continue to rise along these highway corridors, the District will need to incrementally
increase the expenditure for this type of service each year.
4. The two JPAs for mobile breathing support equipment provide management efficiency
and beneficial fiscal economy for the District.
5. Coordinating employee training with other fire districts is efficient and lowers training
expenditures for the District. This savings may be increased by expanding into a training
consortium to include other fire suppression agencies, such as the municipalities on and
near the Monterey Peninsula.
6. The District has recently undertaken a major internet technology improvement program
towards integrating the computer resources at each station and improving management
efficiency throughout the District. DSL line service is now available in all the stations.

AROMAS WATER DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Aromas Water District was formed in 1959 with the development of a single
community well to replace the numerous individual private wells throughout the village of
Aromas. The district now includes four discontiguous areas; two of which extend into
neighboring San Benito County. Geographically, the largest of the three discontiguous areas
includes the Rancho Larios subdivision and golf course covering 702 acres in San Benito
County, which is located about 10 miles from the village of Aromas. For a few years the
Aromas Water District applied to the San Benito County LAFCO for all boundary changes
since the properties within the San Benito County portion of the District had a slightly
greater assessed valuation than the District’s properties within Monterey County. However,
on May 26, 2005 the San Benito County LAFCO adopted a resolution giving Monterey
County LAFCO exclusive jurisdiction for these matters within the Monterey County portion
of the District and for any proposed annexations within Monterey County.
The District provides potable drinking water and distributes it to customers throughout the
District. The Monterey County portion of the District is within the Pajaro groundwater
basin. Water basin management is conducted by the Pajaro Valley Water Management
Agency (PVWMA), which provides management parameters for all water purveyors within
the Pajaro basin. The PVWMA is one of the other agencies discussed in this report.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
This section evaluates the District’s capabilities to provide potable (drinking) water to
residents living within the District. The district procures all water from groundwater via four
wells all owned by the District. The District’s original well, the Marshall well, is now a
stand-by well and is only used during emergencies. A new well, the San Juan well, which
was constructed in 2004, is presently being used as the primary well. It replaced the Aimee
Meadows well and has substantially increased water production for the District. The Aimee
Meadows well is now being used as a groundwater monitoring well. All of the wells are
located within the Pajaro groundwater basin, which has been declared an overdrafted basin
due to excessive pumping of groundwater supplies by agricultural and urban uses. Four
wells are located within the PVWMA boundaries and the new San Juan well is located just
outside of the boundaries. The Pajaro basin stretches from Corralitos and La Selva Beach in
Santa Cruz County southward to Las Lomas and Aromas and includes the City of
Watsonville. In 1998 the PVWMA adopted two ordinances which restrict any water district
or water purveyor within the Pajaro basin from exporting water beyond the basin, with the
exception of public health and safety.
Water treatment consists of adding chlorine at each well site. No other treatment is needed
to meet California Department of Health Services (DHS) standards. During recent years,
District well water was found to contain high levels of manganese. While the manganese
content does not pose a health risk, it can stain or otherwise discolor fabric in home
washing machines unless the home is equipped with a water softening system. This was
viewed as the most significant water quality issue for the District, and was managed with a
sequestering agent that is currently added. The results of 12 months of sequestering were
reported to DHS during 2005. The increased frequency on manganese monitoring is no
longer in effect and the District is now testing for manganese on a quarterly (4 times/year)
schedule.
Water is pumped from operating wells to ten water storage tanks. A tenth tank, the Cole
Road tank, has recently been completed. The pipeline system allows water from the various
wells to be mixed before entering the main water storage tank—the Pine Tree Tank. The
District has a total of 85,000 lineal feet of pipelines to distribute water from the wells to the
storage tanks and to District customers. The facilities owned by the District are listed in the
chart below.

Both the Rea and the two Carr tanks are constructed of redwood. Due to their age, the
District plans to replace both of them in the near future with 200,000 and 100,000 gallon
steel tanks respectively. However, there is no date for these replacements to occur. The
new San Juan well and Cole tank have just been complemented with a new pipeline along
Seely and Cole Roads and a booster pump. Besides replacing old facilities, the most
significant infrastructure issue is a series of dead-end mains throughout the district that result
in reduced water quality. The lack of circulation near the dead-end segments of water mains
causes an inordinate build-up of minerals and compounds normally occurring in area
groundwater. These mains must be flushed on a monthly basis to maintain acceptable water
quality. This process adds service costs of the District and requires staff time that could
otherwise be spent on other tasks.
Since 1989, the District has been trying to make up for lost production from many of its
wells. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake caused private wells in the River Oaks area of San
Benito County to go dry. District staff believes residents in this area may wish for a future
expansion of District boundaries to provide them with a safe and reliable source of
domestic water. Two District wells have decreased their production due to their age. The
completion of the San Juan well will provide the volume of water needed to meet District
needs. It was constructed to procure water from strata with low manganese content. The
original plan was to mix San Juan well water with water from other wells to dilute the
manganese content of the water delivered to customers to reduce the manganese staining
problem discussed above. However, the water procured from the San Juan well has
elevated its manganese level to a point that sequestering the manganese or construction of a
water treatment plant are the only options.
A pilot study to evaluate a treatment plant has been completed. A survey asking water
district customers their preference on what action should be taken has been completed. The
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 66
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
surveys indicate that when presented with a choice of constructing a treatment plant,
adding a sequestering agent to the water or to take neither action, the majority of
community respondents chose the treatment plant option. District staff state that it will take
18–24 months to construct and commence operation of a treatment plant. In the interim,
the District has begun sequestering the manganese.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The Water District presently serves 805 customers. This includes 799 residential and small
business connections and 6 connections limited to landscape irrigation. Thirty-three
connections are currently inactive but could be reactivated at any time. The population
within the District is approximately 3,000 persons. AMBAG projects additional growth in
the area in the near future. The District has an informal policy against any expansion of its
boundaries. Rather, the District is focused on improving service to existing customers and
new customers within its service area.
According to District staff, the issues that the District may face to meet its future population
are:
1. Increased water treatment to remove manganese;
2. Mandated wastewater treatment and
3. Imported water via the San Felipe project.
The first issue is being addressed as discussed in the previous section. The second issue is
only speculative at this time as there are no regulatory requirements being drafted presently
requiring development of a wastewater system for the Aromas area. Conversations with
State agencies have lead District staff to believe that reduction of the manganese in the
drinking water delivered to customers may be a requirement in the future. Other
conversations with State and local officials have lead staff to believe that public health
concerns regarding the high density of individual septic tank systems in the village area of
Aromas may generate an interest in developing a community sewage collection and
disposal system to replace individual septic tanks in higher residential density areas in the
future. If this occurs, the Water District would be the local agency most likely to assume the
responsibility of owning and managing such a system. This would greatly expand the role of
the District. The various water projects of the PVWMA include imported water the San
Felipe pipeline. The PVWMA’s enabling statutes identify the Aromas Water District as the
sole water purveyor within PVWMA boundaries allowed to import water for non-
agricultural purposes. When a new PVWMA pipeline is constructed to connect with the San
Felipe pipeline and imported water begins flowing to the Pajaro basin, it is expected that
there will be pressure to construct another pipeline to connect the Aromas Water District
with new imported water supplies. The cost and engineering for the new pipeline will
become a major issue for the District. Use of the water will also become a major issue and
may generate interest in increased growth. Increased growth will exacerbate the overdraft
problem in the Pajaro basin unless mitigated by a basin-wide plan. This issue is discussed in
more detail in the chapter that discussed the PVWMA.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 67
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District adopts a budget each year which is audited annually. The audit is managed by
a subcommittee of the District’s Board of Directors, but an independent audit firm, Bianchi,
Lorinez and Company is hired to conduct the audit. The budget for the 2002-03 fiscal year
is $661,000. This is an increase of $10,000 over the previous fiscal year and an increase of
$75,000 over the 2000-01 fiscal year. Service charges (water bills) provide the greatest
amount of revenue. Such revenues will provide $554,766 for the 2002-03 fiscal year. This
averages $739.69/customer. Other revenues are shown in the pie chart below. They
include property taxes from property owners within the District ($45,238) and new
connection fees ($15,000).
The District budget provides expenditure categories in the areas shown on the
accompanying pie chart. The largest expenditure category of $373,053 is dedicated to
capital improvements. Salaries and benefits are the second largest expenditure category at
$312,960 followed by utilities and insurance at $102,120. The large capital improvement
expenditure shows a commitment to upgrade and improve District infrastructure to meet
the current needs of District residents. The utilities and insurance category pays for
electrical costs to operate District wells and booster pumps and provide insurance coverage
for facilities. A $45,000 expenditure is allocated to repay debts to bring the District out of
bankruptcy which was declared in 2001. Professional services include legal fees. The debt
repayment and legal expenditures are discussed below.

The District filed Chapter 9 bankruptcy in 2001 in U.S. District Court in San José.
According to District staff, the bankruptcy was the result of the previous Board of Directors
committing the District to serve 140 lots and golf course in the new Rancho Larios
subdivision in San Benito County and a disagreement over who should finance the
infrastructure to serve this new 702 acre residential/golf course development. The
subdivision developer sued the District claiming it was the District’s responsibility to
provide pipelines and other infrastructure for the subdivision, including a water main to
transport water from facilities that are located 10 miles north and west of the subdivision.
The previous Board of Directors commenced payment for the construction of this
infrastructure. While the District ultimately prevailed in court, over $400,000 in legal fees
were expended by the District. This created a financial hardship on the relatively small
district. The District also initiated litigation against the subdivision developer to recoup
expenditures for capital improvements. The litigation was resolved when the District
negotiated a settlement for the subdivision developer to finance the remaining
infrastructure needed to serve Rancho Larios. This allowed the completion of five major
capital expenditure projects to occur during the 2003-04 fiscal year without requiring the
use of District funds. These projects included the San Juan well, Seely booster station, Seely-
Cole water main extension and the Cole Road tank. The bankruptcy was dismissed by the
U.S. District Court on October 27, 2003 and all creditors have been paid in full.
4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
District staff includes 4.5 full-time employees. As is common with local agency staff of this
size, various services are provided by outside sources. The District hires private contractors
and consultants to provide engineering services, legal services, construction of infrastructure
projects and environmental impact studies. The size of the District does not make it feasible
to include any of these functions as regular full-time or part-time District staff. These
functions are not permanent on-going tasks but, rather are needed on an interim basis as
certain special projects or other needs arise.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 69
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
Service rates for District customers with service connections are uniform and based on
three-tiered rate structure that charges a higher rate when water is used above certain
volumes. The District uses a three-tiered rate structure for customers as a method to
promote water conservation. The tiered rate structure is provided below. Purchasers of bulk
water, such as that needed for water trucks during road construction projects, are charged a
higher rate which not is not based on the three-tiered system. Rates were adjusted by
Ordinance 68 on December 2, 2004.
Table 7
Aromas Water District Service Rates (Monthly)
Tier 1 1.618 cents/cubic foot 0 – 400 cu. ft./month
Tier 2 2.958 cents/cubic foot 400 – 3,630 cu. ft./month
Tier 3 4.314 cents/cubic foot over 3,630 cu. ft./month
Bulk water $50 + 4.314 cents/cubic foot All usage volumes
Rates are determined to cover the actual cost of operating the water system. The District
hires a financial consultant, Bartle-Wells, to help determine rates. Rates were last updated
on November 2001. They are reviewed annually. The District does not share service costs
with any other agencies; nor does it coordinate planning for new facilities or provision of
services with another agency. District boundaries do not adjoin the boundaries of another
water district. If a new pipeline is constructed in the future to provide San Felipe water to
the District, facilities planning with the PVWMA will be necessary at the outset of the
planning stages for this pipeline.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The other service providers within the Aromas area are the Aromas Tri-County Fire
Protection District and County Service Area #31 (Aromas Hill Subdivision). The Fire District
covers an area larger than the Water District within three counties. The fire station, located
in the village of Aromas, and the fire truck and equipment it houses comprise the
equipment of the Fire District. This equipment is dedicated to fire protection service and
would not provide benefits to the Water District by sharing facilities. CSA #31 maintains
surface drainage improvements for 33 residential parcels in two areas of the village of
Aromas. The Monterey County Public Works Department provides all management of
staffing for the CSA. Work for the CSA involves the periodic maintenance of storm drains
and drainage ditches located in easements on private property. The CSA does not own any
infrastructure or equipment that could be shared with the Water District.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by a five member Board of Directors that are elected at-large for
four year terms. The Board meets once/month. The Board adopted a master plan in the
1980’s which is used as the planning document for the District. In addition, the PVWMA
Basin Management Plan and the General Plans of Monterey County and San Benito County
affects much of the District’s water planning. The PVWMA has adopted two ordinances that
forbid any water district to export its water outside of the Pajaro water basin, with minor
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 70
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
exceptions to meet health or safety concerns or to recognize areas served prior to the
adoption of the two ordinances in 1998. Within Monterey County, the boundaries of the
District and its Sphere of Influence are within the boundaries of the PVWMA. Areas of the
District in San Benito County have been served by the District prior to 1998 and the District
continues to serve these areas under the “grandfather clause” exceptions of the PVWMA
ordinances.
The General Plans of the two counties differ in their approach to land use and
development. The Monterey County General Plan designates the surrounding area outside
the village of Aromas for agricultural and low density residential uses. The plan promotes
the conservation of commercially viable agricultural land and encourages residential
development at the village core of Aromas. Currently, the County has placed a moratorium
on new subdivisions within the Pajaro basin until the overdraft problem can be fully
addressed. The San Benito County General Plan promotes development of rural land and
designates some areas of the District for higher density residential use than in Monterey
County. The most recent annexation to the District was the Rancho Larios subdivision that
includes a golf course and 140 single-family homes. Future development under these two
General Plans will place needs for future infrastructure to serve higher demands in San
Benito County than in Monterey County.
7. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The District employs a staff of 4.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) people to manage and maintain
facilities and services. This is an increase of 1.0 FTE over fiscal years 2001-02 and 2000-01.
Current personnel include two full-time staff, the District manager and the controller/office
manager. Other personnel include part-time office staff and maintenance staff.
Each District employee is typically provided with two educational training days each year
on a topic that relates to his or her job. In addition, 1-2 hour workmen’s compensation
safety training sessions are provided periodically. The District office is equipped with
conventional office technology, but upgrades will be needed to keep pace with current
technology provided at other local agencies. Internet and e-mail access is now provided by
DSL connection. In 2004, the District also installed radio telemetry to electronically operate
wells and booster pumps at remote locations. The continued training for such an automated
systems is seen by District staff as the most important skill for staff to gain to meet future
needs.
The District has a good safety, environmental and permit compliance record; however, it is
under two orders issued by the DHS to take corrective actions. DHS has required increased
frequency of monitoring for manganese from once/3 months to once/month. As part of the
effort to decrease manganese content of District water supplies, the new San Juan well was
screened to procure water from segments of the aquifer containing the lowest manganese
content and mixing this with water procured from other wells. This issue is discussed
above. The District was also under a Capacity Order from DHS that restricts any additional
connections to District water supplies until it can show that there are increased water
supplies to meets current and future needs. The new San Juan well was constructed to
address the capacity issue. The DHS Capacity Order was rescinded in 2004 when the San
Juan well became operational.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 71
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
The District was involved in lengthy litigation as a result of annexing the Rancho Larios area
into the District boundaries and the required infrastructure to serve it as described above.
The litigation has now been resolved to the advantage of the District, but attorney and
related legal costs created significant expenditures during the past few years. The positive
outcome of the litigation shows the District is well managed, but also shows for a need to
build up a reserve fund to finance unforeseen issues in the future.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District conducts public Board meetings once/month. Meeting agendas are posted in
two village locations; however, these meetings are not currently noticed in area
newspapers. An annual newsletter is mailed to all customers within the District. This
newsletter summarizes new infrastructure projects being planned and constructed by the
District as well as major issues facing the District.
The District office is located in the “Old Firehouse” building at 387 Blohm Avenue in the
village core or Aromas. It is open to the public during normal business hours 3 days/week.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 72
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The District procures water from an overdrafted groundwater basin that is managed by a
regional agency—PVWMA. Various policies and planning efforts of the PVWMA affect
the actions of the District. Continued coordination between both agencies is important
to maintain adequate quality and quantity of District water supplies.
2. District water supplies have a high manganese content which affect water quality, but
do not pose health risks to District customers. During 2004-05 the District was under an
Order from the California Department of Health Services (DHS) to increase the
frequency of its water sampling and testing for manganese. The District is now back to
quarterly testing for manganese.
3. The District was previously under a Capacity Order from DHS that prohibits new water
connections until the water capacity issue is resolved. The new San Juan well was
constructed to increase water supplies with water containing a lower manganese
content. One objective of the new well will be to adequately address both DHA Orders
so they can be removed. The Capacity Order has now been rescinded.
4. The District wells have been declining in their production since 1989. Some private
wells in the area went dry as a result of the age of some wells and subsurface changes to
area geology caused by the 1989 earthquake. The new San Juan well, completed in
2004, provides a higher production rate than any other well in the District and, along
with other existing wells, meets the water demand in the District.
5. The District is experiencing a substantial need for replacement and upgrade of major
infrastructure to meets current customers. Three storage tanks are in need of
replacement in addition to the new tank being constructed. Several dead-end water
mains need to be joined in a manner known as “looping” to allow regular circulation of
water. Until that occurs, the District must continue to flush these dead-end mains
monthly. This results in operating costs and loss of water supplies.
6. Litigation and a bankruptcy in 2001 severely constrained District finances, but the
District is presently solvent.
7. The San Felipe pipeline could provide a new water source to the District in the future.
As imported water, it will be source of water that will not rely on groundwater from the
geographic area of the District or elsewhere within Pajaro basin. However, the District
will need to finance the construction of a pipeline to connect to the PVWMA pipeline
that transports this imported water into the area. This cost may not be practical for a
District of this size to assume.
8. Expansion of District boundaries may be proposed in the future to meet existing health
and safety needs of residential areas. Regardless, the population and customer base is
expected to increase with development. Future demand will be greater in San Benito
County portion of the District than in the Monterey County portion.
9. Service rates include a three-tiered rate structure that promotes water conservation.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 73
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
10. In early 2004, the most significant technological need for District management was
obtaining a radio telemetry system for the electronic operation of District wells, pumps
and tanks. The District installed a radio telemetry system to operate wells and booster
pump in remote locations later in 2004. The District also replaced is dial-up connection
to the internet with a DSL connection.

CASTROVILLE WATER DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Castroville Water District was formed in 1952 to serve the community of Castroville
with a reliable source of potable water. Until that time, homes and businesses were served
by individual private wells. The high density of wells coupled with active agricultural wells
nearby substantially reduced the production of private wells in the late 1940’s and early
1950’s and generated the need for the formation of a public water district. The District
boundaries have not grown significantly since its formation in 1952. The area served is
limited to the unincorporated town of Castroville. Currently the District has applied to
LAFCO to expand its boundaries to coincide with the urban expansion area for Castroville
designated in the County General Plan. This expansion area is defined as the “community
center boundary” in the County’s General Plan and the County Redevelopment Agency
planning documents.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The District procures its water from three wells located in the town of Castroville. These
wells procure water from the Salinas Valley groundwater basin. Like the Pajaro basin,
which supplies water for other water purveyors in North County, the Salinas Valley basin
experiences both overdraft and seawater intrusion. This problem is being addressed by the
CSIP (Castroville Salt Water Intrusion Project), which is managed by the Monterey County
Water Resources Agency. CSIP includes the construction and use of a reclaimed wastewater
plant that collects sewage from Castroville, Marina and Seaside. The wastewater is treated
to agricultural irrigation standards and is provided to area growers in place of water from
their private agricultural wells. This project has substantially helped maintain yields for the
Castroville Water District as well as stopped most of the migration of seawater intrusion to
areas directly west (coastward) of Castroville.
Water is treated by adding chlorine at each well site. Regular water sampling has
determined that there are no contaminants, such as nitrates, that would require treatment
prior to distributing supplies as potable water. This is significant, as the town is surrounded
by agricultural land that produces a high volume of vegetable row crops where agricultural
chemicals are applied to these fields on a regular basis. Well water is stored in two tanks
with a combined capacity of 1.1 million gallons. The stored water is distributed to
customers via an average pumping of 800,000 gallons/day; however, the District has a
maximum capacity to pump up to 4.5 MGD to meet peak demands if needed. District
operations are headquarted in a new 3,900 square foot office at 11499 Geil Street. District
owned infrastructure is shown in the table below.

The District relies on its own infrastructure to meet local needs without need of assistance
from other districts. While District infrastructure is currently adequate to meet the existing
demand, the District’s 10-year Plan includes the construction of one additional storage tank
and the replacement of one existing well. These facilities are planned to accommodate
future urban growth in the newly expanded “community center boundary”. These facilities
would become necessary if LAFCO approves expansion of the District as proposed.
Some seawater intrusion has affected Well #2. To address this impact, this well is being
sealed in its upper screened area so it will no longer procure water from the upper aquifer
that is affected by the seawater intrusion. The well will then only extract water from the
lower aquifer which has good water quality. All other facilities are in good working order.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The town of Castroville has a population of approximately 5,800. The Water District serves
all residents and commercial businesses in the town and has a total of 1,511 customers. Of
this total 1,265 are residential connections and 246 customers are commercial connections.
Commercial customers range from small retail businesses to large agricultural service
establishments for the packing and distribution of produce. The District relies on AMBAG
population projections for future planning. AMBAG projections show the population of the
town of Castroville increasing to 6,400 by the year 2010 and to 7,500 by 2020. The future
new well replacement and additional storage tank are planned to accommodate this
population increase.
District staff believe the two most significant issues in meeting future needs are the issues of
seawater instruction and conservation/conversion of agricultural land. One well has already
been slightly affected by the migration of seawater intrusion eastward from the coast.
Additional efforts will need to be taken by CSIP to reverse the migration of seawater
intrusion to protect District water supplies. The town the District serves is designated by the
County General Plan as an urban growth center. However, it is surrounded by productive
agricultural land, most of which is designated by the General Plan to remain in agricultural
use. Yet urban growth will require the conversion of agricultural land to urban uses. How
much of this agricultural land will be converted in the future will determine how much
additional service area the District should plan to service in future years.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District adopts a budget each year. The budget is audited annually. The budget for the
2002-03 fiscal year is $889,361 This is a decrease of $10,850 from the previous fiscal year
but an increase over FY 2000-01. (See Figure 20). The decrease is a result of withdrawals
from the reserve fund to pay for an unanticipated expense during a single fiscal year.
Service charges (water bills) provide the greatest amount of revenue. Such revenues will
provide $717,000 for the 2002-03 fiscal year. This averages $474.52/customer. Property
taxes provide $28,000. They are collected by the County and are currently used to repay
the County for financing the construction of District infrastructure. The other revenue
source is new connection fees ($14,000).

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
District staff includes five full-time employees. Similar to other local agencies of this size,
the District contracts with outside sources to provide various services. The District hires
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 81
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
private contractors and consultants to provide engineering services, legal services,
construction of infrastructure projects and laboratory analyses of water samples. The size of
the District does not make it feasible to include any of these functions as regular full-time or
part-time District staff. Except for the lab analyses, these functions are not permanent on-
going tasks but, rather are needed on an interim basis as certain special projects or other
special needs arise.
Domestic (potable) service rates for District customers are based on a combination of meter
(pipe) size serving the customer and the amount of water used each month. The meter/pipe
size is referred to as the base rate. It is added to the usage rate to result in the monthly water
bill for each customer. The usage rate is a two tiered system that charges more for water
above 500 cubic feet/month than below this amount. Domestic rates are based on the same
rate schedule for all types of customers. Water rates are provided in the table on the
following page.
Table 9
Domestic Water Rates of the Castroville Water District
Useage Rates
(Based on water use)
Tier 1 0.7 cents/cubic foot ($3.5/500 cu. ft.) 0-500 cu. ft./month

Additional water conservation may by possible by adding one or more tiers to the rate
structure. In addition to the regular drinking water rates, the District also provides fire
service rates for commercial establishments that need fire extinguishing systems. Fire
service is provided by a dedicated line and meter that is separate from the potable water
meter. Rates are charged according to the size of the meter (pipe) serving the fire service
customer. There is no additional usage charge. Fire service rates are provided in the table
below.

5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) provides assistance to the
District as well as to other water purveyors within the groundwater basin in the areas of
hydrological studies and testing. This relationship is appropriate because most hydrological
studies need to be conducted on a groundwater basin or sub basin-wide basis and the
MCWRA has substantially more resources to provide these type of studies than the District.
This relationship is expected to continue far into the future.
Other service providers in the town of Castroville include, Community Service Area (CSA)
#14 for sewer and storm drain maintenance, the North County Fire Protection District,
Castroville Cemetery District and the North County Recreation and Park District. The fire,
cemetery and recreation districts all serve a larger area beyond the town of Castroville. The
boundaries of CSA #14 are almost identical to those of the Water District, except that CSA
#14 includes the Oak Knolls subdivision located north of the town. CSA #14 is managed
and staffed by the County Public Works Department. The County has submitted an
application to LAFCO to reorganize the CSA into a Community Services District.
Consolidating the new Community Services District with the Castroville Water District
could provide for shared management, engineering and maintenance staff and shared office
space and maintenance facilities for these services and reduce overall costs. If
consolidation were to occur, the issue of who should provide water service to the Oak
Knolls subdivision would be a significant issue to resolve. Currently the subdivision is
served by California Water Company.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by a five member Board of Directors that is elected at-large for four
year terms. The Board meets once/month. The Board has not adopted a planning document
for the District, but relies on information in the North County General Plan when
considering issues that affect, or can be affected by, land use.
The boundaries of the District and its Sphere of Influence are coterminous. As stated above,
the Board is requesting LAFCO approve an expansion of the Sphere of Influence and
District boundaries to include areas designated for urban expansion by the County General
Plan. If LAFCO does not approve the expansion, the future development areas of Castroville
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 83
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
will be served by a private water company. The most likely company to provide this service
is the California Water Company which serves the nearby Oak Hills subdivision.
7. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The mission statement of the District is as follows:
The Castroville Water District is here to provide the best quality water
at the lowest price with excellent customer service.
The District employs a staff of 5 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff to manage and maintain
facilities and services. This size of the work force has been constant over the past 3 years.
Personnel include the General Manager, Assistant General Manager/Senior Operator,
Operator, bookkeeper and billing clerk.
Each District employee is typically provided with two educational training days each year
on a topic that relates to his or her job. The District office is equipped with high level
computer technology, including state of the art radio control telemetry systems with internet
access. This telemetry system allows operation of well pumps and booster pumps and
viewing of volume levels in storage tanks from remote locations wherever there is internet
access. District staff believes their office technology is adequate to meet the needs of the
District. Staff believe the most important future skills to attain in the near future will be
increase computer skills to meet on-going changes of computerized systems.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District conducts public Board meetings once/month. Meeting agendas are posted;
however, these meetings are not currently noticed in area newspapers. Communication
messages are regularly included in water bills mailed to customers each month.
The District office is located at the corner of Wood and Geil Streets in Castroville. It is open
to the public during normal business hours 5 days/week. The District participates with the
local Water Awareness Committee, a citizens’ group interested in local water issues. The
District also periodically hosts large seminar sessions at its office facility that are attended by
staffs of area water purveyors.
The District budget is audited annually in August by a private auditing firm. Currently the
firm of Porter and Company is employed to conduct audits.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 84
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The District procures water from an over drafted water basin that also experiences
seawater intrusion. The MCWRA’s CSIP has been instrumental in protecting District
water supplies. District water supplies are characterized by good quality and adequate
quantity to meet the needs of District customers. However, some upgrading of existing
wells is required to combat the effects of seawater intrusion. Continued coordination
with the MCWRA is important towards maintaining water supplies for the District.
2. Major outlays for new infrastructure are not foreseen to meet current demand, but some
new infrastructure (a new storage tank) will be needed in approximately 10 years to
meet projected future demand.
3. Service rates include a two-tiered rate structure to promote water conservation.
Additional water conservation could be realized by modifying this rate structure to
include more tiers.
4. Service area expansion plans are limited to service urban expansion areas specified by
the County General Plan and Redevelopment Area Plan. This indicates good
coordination between the District and these other two agencies.
5. Seawater intrusion of the area-wide water basin and land use decisions affecting the
agricultural land that surrounds the town of Castroville are the two most significant
future issues for the Water District.
6. The District management is equipped with a state-of-the-art radio telemetry system for
the electronic/computerized control of primary infrastructure.

PAJARO VALLEY WATER MANAGEMENT AGENCY
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) covers most of the North County
area of Monterey County, the southern part of Santa Cruz County and a small area within
northwestern San Benito County. The jurisdictional boundaries of PVWMA are shown on
Figure and comprise the area underlain by the Pajaro groundwater basin. The majority of
the Agency’s geographic area is within Santa Cruz County. An MSR inventory for the
Agency will be included in MSR being prepared by the County of Santa Cruz LAFCO.
Therefore only a brief summary description for PVWMA is provided in this report. To obtain
a complete MSR discussion for this Agency, readers are directed to contact the County of
Santa Cruz LAFCO by telephoning (831) 454-2055.
In 1984 local voters approved a ballot measure to form PVWMA to manage groundwater
supplies which where being threatened by substantial over pumping resulting in
groundwater overdraft and seawater intrusion of the Pajaro basin. The Agency is governed
by a 7 member Board of Directors. Three directors are appointed, one each, by the Santa
Cruz County Board of Supervisors, Monterey County Board of Supervisors and the
Watsonville City Council respectively. The three appointed directors must receive a
majority of their income from agricultural production. The other four directors are elected
by voters within the Agency’s boundaries. There are no income restrictions on the elected
members. Daily operations are carried out by the 16 agency staff members. The Agency
office is located at 36 Brennan Street in Watsonville. The mission statement of PVWMA is
as follows:
PVWMA is a State-chartered local Agency formed to efficiently and
economically manage existing and supplemental water supplies in
order to prevent a further increase in, and to accomplish continuing
reduction of, long-term overdraft and to provide and insure sufficient
water supplies for present and anticipated needs within the boundaries
of the Agency. It is anticipated that long-term overdraft problems may
not be solved unless supplemental water supplies are provided. The
Agency should, in an efficient and economically feasible manner,
utilize supplemental water and available underground storage and
should mange the groundwater supplies to meet future needs of the
basin.
The Agency has the authority to adopt ordinances for the purpose of conserving local
groundwater supplies which all public and private water purveyors within the Agency’s
boundaries must adhere to. The Agency is not a water purveyor of domestic water, such as
a typical water district or municipal water department. One of its major tasks has been the
development of basin-wide groundwater management plan. A Revised Basin Management
Plan was adopted by the PVWMA Board in 2002. The Plan identifies the specific the water
conservation/water supply projects planned to be implemented in the near future. As such,
it also guides capital facilities planning for the Agency.

North Monterey County MSR February 2006
The Agency’s primary focus is implementation of its Basin Management Plan towards
elimination of groundwater overdraft and seawater intrusion. Four main projects are
specified by the Plan to construct facilities to deliver irrigation water to agricultural
properties to replace the use of individual farm wells and the groundwater pumping near
the coast. These projects will occur in both Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties and include:
a) Existing groundwater recharge project near Harkins Slough;
b) Connections to supplemental inland wells;
c) Future delivery of recycled water from the Watsonville wastewater treatment plant;
and
d) Obtaining and delivering imported (out of basin) water supplies to agricultural
properties within the basin.
The Agency may participate intra-basin planning and coordination among water purveyors
on an as needed basis; however, this is not one of the provisions of the Basin Management
Plan.
The project named above as “connections to supplemental inland wells” involves
transporting well water from inland wells within the Agency’s boundaries to agricultural
land near the coast has generated some public controversy. Some agencies and members of
the public do not believe PVWMA has the legal right to appropriate groundwater in this
manner without supplementing the extracted groundwater with non-groundwater sources
(surface water, reclaimed wastewater, imported out-of-basin water). The Agency, however,
believes it has appropriate rights for the purposes of reversing sea water intrusion and
groundwater overdraft problems. This issue remains a controversy at present.
Another controversy exists over the Agency’s legal right to mange groundwater in the basin.
According to AB 3030, agencies established to manage groundwater within a basin must
first adopt a groundwater management plan that meets the requirements specified in AB
3030. The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa CSD claims that PVWMA‘s Basin Management Plan fails to
include all the criteria set forth in AB 3030. PVWMA believes that its Plan does meet the
requirements to allow the Agency to manage Pajaro basin groundwater. It is beyond the
scope of this report to determine if the Agency’s Plan meets all legal requirements and if its
connections to supplemental inland wells project is within the Agency’s legal authority.
However, it is important to understand that these controversies exist.
PVWMA infrastructure includes the management office, a water diversion and treatment
facility, 10 monitoring wells, 10 extraction wells and 52,800 lineal feet of pipelines and
associated pump stations. At this time all infrastructure is located within Santa Cruz County.
The Agency’s office is located at 36 Brennan Street in Watsonville. The agency staff is
housed at this office but Agency Board meetings occur at the Watsonville City Council
Chambers. Except for the office, all infrastructure is associated with the Harkins Slough
Water Diversion and Recharge Project. This project diverts excess flow from Harkins Slough
in the winter months and pumps it to a 12 acre recharge basin where it percolates into the
upper aquifer for temporary storage. This water is subsequently extracted by 10 wells
surrounding the basin and piped to area growers for irrigation use as an alternative water
source to using individual wells on each agricultural property.

This project has the same goal of the future projects currently planned by PVWMA. Three
additional projects are planned to deliver water to agricultural users as a replacement to
groundwater extractions by individual on-site farm wells. These projects include building a
new pipeline to serve coastal agricultural in the Springfield Terrace area of North County.
The pipeline would deliver blended water derived from treated wastewater from the City of
Watsonville wastewater treatment plant and from groundwater wells located at inland
locations beyond the seawater intrusion zone.
The Agency is also authorized to connect to the Central Valley’s San Felipe water project by
constructing a new pipeline that would transport this non-local water to supplement local
water supplies within the Pajaro Valley. According to legislation that formed the Agency,
the use of San Felipe water is to be limited to agricultural irrigation within the Pajaro basin
and to supplement existing water supplies of the Aromas Water District. Recent court
decisions regarding environmental quality in the Delta Project may result in reducing the
amount of water supplies that are available from the San Felipe project. In 2004 the Agency
negotiated with the Broadview Water District in the Central Valley to secure rights to
Broadview’s Central Valley Project water supply. An agreement would have resulted in this
excess water being delivered to the Pajaro basin via a new pipeline connected to the San
Felipe pipeline. However, these negotiations were terminated in November 2004 and
PVWMA is currently seeking other sources of imported water. To this end, the Agency is
engaged in plans to obtain excess water from Santa Clara County and San Benito County
Water Districts. A new pipeline would need to be constructed to receive and distribute this
water. The Santa Clara County Water District has agreed to make a portion of their water
(6,260 acre feet/year) from the San Felipe project available for sale to PVWMA beginning in
2009. In addition, a State Proposition 50 (Integrated Regional Water Management Planning)
grant has been awarded to the Agency and the Santa Clara County and San Benito County
Water Districts to evaluate options for cooperative use of water supplies.
The estimated population within the entire boundaries of the Agency is 80,000 people. This
includes the City of Watsonville that has a population of about 46,000 people.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 92
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
Management and maintenance operations of PVWMA are funded by augmentation fees and
management fees which property owners within the Agency boundaries pay. Augmentation
fees fund capital projects and operations and the maintenance of PVWMA projects and
facilities. The Agency also collects separate management fees which fund administration
and conservation efforts. The management fees are assessed annually on each parcel within
the Agency boundaries. Augmentation fees are based on metered groundwater use. The
new augmentation fee rates for water purveyors and $160/acre foot of water used (effective,
January 2005).
The current fee is an increase from the 2001-02 fiscal year rates of $50–$80/acre foot.
Public and private water purveyors fund this cost by adding augmentation fees to the water
bills of their customers. Individual domestic wells serving rural residential uses have a rate
of $72/year (with a $18/year management fee). The use of augmentation fees is being
challenged in court by some residents within the PVWMA area. In 2003 Santa Cruz County
Superior court ruled that the fees were legal and could be collected by PVWMA. The
plaintiffs appealed the case to the 6th District Court of Appeals. A decision has not yet been
made by the Appellate Court. The revenues and expenditures for FY 2002-03 are shown in
the two charts above and below this paragraph.

MOSS LANDING COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Moss Landing Sanitation District was formed in 1976 to provide a community sewer
system that replaced the individual septic tank systems that served homes and businesses
until that date. The services of the District are limited to the collection of domestic sewage,
also referred to as wastewater. Area wastewater is transported to the regional wastewater
treatment plant in Marina. The District does not have its own staff. All staffing and
management of the District is provided by the County Public Works Department. The
District serves the area of Moss Landing on the west side of Highway 1. A map showing the
geographical boundaries of the District is provided on Figure 24.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The infrastructure of the District consists of underground sewer lines traversing seven miles.
Facilities also include five associated pump (lift) stations which pump contained wastewater
to the to the regional wastewater treatment plant. The treatment plant is operated by the
Monterey County Water Pollution Control Agency. Public Works staff states that sewers and
lift stations are now in good condition. Substantial damage to a lift station occurred during
the 1995 flood event. Repairs to this facility have been completed.
The County contracted with Fuog Water Resources in 1999 to assist County staff in
developing a financial plan, including a needs assessment for District facilities. The
consultant identified several deficiencies at the five pump stations which include:
a. No security fencing exists at any of the stations;
b. No water supply exists at the stations to wash down pumps;
c. Some of the covers of the wet wells are rusting and need replacement; and
d. The electrical box at one station is below the flood elevation and should be
relocated by raising it.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The population within the District. is 650 people. There are 181 sewer connections; of
these, there are 155 residential connections and 26 commercial connections. The County
Public Works Department, which staffs the District, believes existing facilities adequately
meet the needs of District residents. Significant population growth and development are not
anticipated in the near future; however, Public Works sees a need to divest itself from
staffing the three sanitation service providers it currently manages. This issue is discussed
under Section 6 below.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District has a budget of $154,838 for fiscal year 2002-03. This was over $13,000 more
than the FY 2001-02 budget and $18,882 more than for FY 2000-01. Property taxes are the
main source of revenues; providing 59% of the revenue for FY 2002-03. Service fees,
including one-time fees for new connections, provide the other main source of revenue.
The greatest expenditure is payment in the reserve fund; followed by salaries and benefits,
professional services, payments to retire a municipal bond and construction of capital
improvements. Lesser expenditures are shown in Figure 26. The District’s expenditures
show a substantial amount of revenues are used to fund existing and/or future capital
improvements. A chart showing expenditures for the 2002-03 fiscal year is provided
below.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The current residential service rate for district customers is $232/dwelling unit/year. The
commercial rate is a calculation based on $232/equivalent dwelling unit/year. The size of
the commercial use determines how many dwelling unit equivalents are applied to it. The
County Board of Supervisors sets the service fees similar to how service fees are established
for CSAs throughout the County. A budget for services, based on geographic zones, is
prepared by the Public Works Department and submitted to the Board for consideration.
The last time service rates for this District were updated was March 1998.
The District uses Public Works staff to provide most management and maintenance
services. Outside consultants are occasionally used for periodic engineering services.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 100
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District utilizes the infrastructure and services of the regional wastewater treatment
plant managed by the Monterey County Regional Water Pollution Control Agency. This
regional facility provides wastewater treatment for all sewage collection districts in the
North County, Monterey Peninsula and Salinas areas. The agency also operates the largest
of the District’s five pump stations. As discussed above, the District also utilizes the services
of the staff of Operations Division of County Public Works. This sharing of facilities and
resources has proven to be very economical for a relatively small service district. If Public
Works divests itself from wastewater collection activities, as planned, the District will be
faced with contracting with another existing trained staff to manage its facilities or hiring its
own staff to provide direct local management of the District. The latter alternative will
increase operational costs, as it would require funding at least one full-time staff person, a
District Office facility and associated equipment to house local staff. This would be very
costly for a District of this size. This issue is further discussed in the following section.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is currently governed by the County Board of Supervisors who also act as the
Governing Board of the District. Public meetings of the District Board are conducted on an
as-needed basis by the Board when they meet as a Board of Supervisors at the County
Governmental Center in Salinas. The Board uses the North County General Plan and the
County’s 20 Year Capital Improvement Plan to guide its decisions regarding the District. An
advisory council, composed of local residents who are appointed by the Board, advises the
Board on concerns and views of District residents. The Advisory Council meets irregularly
and is provided with limited staff support by the Public Works Department.
If the Public Works Department ceases wastewater collection services, the District will need
to either establish another governmental structure or be replaced as a public entity with
privatization of sanitation services for Moss Landing. To date, no private company has
expressed interest in purchasing and operating the sanitation system. Public Works is
recommending to the County Board of Supervisors that the Monterey Regional Water
Pollution Control Agency assume management of the District. Other governing structures
include establishment of a local governing District Board independent of the Board of
Supervisors or dissolving the District and consolidating its functions with another district.
The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District is investigating annexing the area and
purchasing the private water system that serves Moss Landing. As a community service
district, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa can expand its activities to provide wastewater collection (and
treatment) services if approved to do so by LAFCO. Public Works and Pajaro/Sunny Mesa
are currently investigating the possibility of it assuming the management of the Pajaro
Sanitation District from County Public Works. Establishing a District Board or consolidating
with another service district would require LAFCO approval for a district reorganization.
7. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District does not provide publications or newsletters to inform residents of activities
and issues of the District or related functions of the Public Works Department. Public
participation is provided by the local District Advisory Council and at public hearings of the
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 101
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
County Board of Supervisors when they are discussing business of the District. However,
both of these opportunities are limited. The Advisory Council does not meet on a regular
basis and meetings are not typically publicized. The Board of Supervisors conducts business
of the District periodically on a limited basis, as District business is minor in comparison to
other business conducted by the Board.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 102
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The infrastructure of the District is limited to sewer lines and pump stations; all of which
are currently in good working condition.
2. This is a relatively small District with a population of 650 people and a total of 181
sewer connections (customers).
3. The District has no staff of its own. It is managed by the County Public Works
Department.
4. County Public Works wants to divest itself of managing sanitation services. If this
occurs, it will require one the following alternatives:
a. Privatization of sanitation services;
b. Management of the District by another public agency such as the Monterey
Regional Water Pollution Control Agency;
c. Reorganization of the District to have its own governing Board and staff; or
d. Dissolution of the District and consolidation of District functions with
another service district.
5. Property taxes, rather than service fees, provide the leading source of District revenues.
A large percentage of expenditures are associated with funding capital improvements.
6. The District does not treat or dispose of wastewater on its own. Wastewater collected
within the District is treated at the Monterey County Regional Water Pollution Control
Agency’s wastewater treatment facility near Marina.
7. If County Public Works divests itself of managing the District, the District will lose
significant resources, including the support of the County’s office technology,
maintenance equipment and personnel trained in various skills related to sewer and
sanitation service. These resources will need to be replaced for the adequate
functioning of the District.
8. Annexing the Moss Landing area to The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Service District
is a potential way that sanitation services could continue to be provided if the District is
not managed by County Public Works in the future. Pajaro/Sunny Mesa is currently
investigating assuming the activities of the Pajaro Sanitation District from County Public
Works. In addition, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa annexed the area directly north of the Moss
Landing Sanitation District boundaries in July 2003 to provide domestic water service to
that area.
9. The current management of the District is removed from the local area. It occurs in
Salinas by a department that is responsible for various functions. The District has no
governing Board of its own. These factors limit the amount of public participation that
can occur regarding policy making. A reorganization of the District or consolidation
with another service district, as discussed in items 4 and 8 above, would provide greater
public access to the decision-making process.

The Pajaro Sanitation District was formed in 1946 to provide a community sewer system
that replaced the individual septic tank systems that served homes and businesses in Pajaro
until that date. In 1983 the District was expanded to include the area formerly served by
CSA 66 (Las Lomas Sanitation). Today the District serves the two non-contiguous
communities of Pajaro and Las Lomas and some residential enclaves along Salinas Road. A
map showing the geographical boundaries of the District is provided on Figure 5.
The services of the District are limited to the collection of domestic sewage, also referred to
as wastewater. Area wastewater is transported to the City of Watsonville wastewater
treatment plant in Santa Cruz County. The District does not have its own staff. Staffing and
management of the District is provided by the Monterey County Public Works Department.
This is one of three sanitation areas in North County that are staffed by County Public
Works. The other two areas are the community of Moss Landing served by the Moss
Landing Sanitation District and the unincorporated town of Castroville, which is served by
CSA #14.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The infrastructure of the District consists of underground sewer lines traversing 20.2 miles
and 6 lift stations. The lift stations pump contained wastewater from Las Lomas to Pajaro
and then to the Watsonville wastewater treatment plant on Riverside Drive directly south of
the Watsonville city limits where it is treated. Staff states that sewers and lift stations are
now in good condition. Substantial damage to a main sewer line occurred during the 1995
flood event. Repairs to this line have been completed.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
According to the Public Works Department, the population within the District is 5,841
people. However, actual population in, at least the community of Pajaro, fluctuates
seasonally, with this population increasing during the agricultural harvest season as workers
move to Pajaro for temporary stays during May through September. There are 922 sewer
connections; of these, 823 are residential connections and 99 are commercial and industrial
connections. The County Public Works Department, which staffs the District, believes
existing facilities adequately meet the needs of District residents. Some population growth
and development is anticipated in the near future as both Pajaro and Las Lomas are
designated by the County General Plan as urban growth areas. However, Public Works sees
a need to divest itself from sanitation services, including the three sanitation service
providers in North County it currently manages. This issue is discussed under Section 6
below as well as evaluated in the previous discussion of the Moss Landing Sanitation
District.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The District had a budget of $1,393,101 for fiscal year 2002-03. This was significantly
higher than the previous fiscal year, but $275,052 less than in FY 2000-01. Unlike the Moss
Landing Sanitation District and CSA #14, service fees are the main source of revenues;
providing 76.5% of the revenues for FY 2002-03. Property taxes provide the other main
source of revenue. In this budget, monthly service fees charged to customers, one-time
connection fees and development impact fees are all included in the “service fee” category.
The greatest expenditure is utility costs. This expenditure of $581,900 includes payment to
the City of Watsonville for wastewater treatment services and PG and E charges to
electrically operate the lift stations. Utilities/wastewater treatment accounts for 43% of FY
2002-03 expenditures. The savings in the contingency fund is the second largest
expenditure category at $447,805 (or 33% of budgeted expenditures). Salaries and benefits
account for $248,046 (18% of expenditures) for FY 2002-03. These type of expenditures
indicate a substantial amount of revenues are used to pay for wastewater treatment and set
aside for unforeseen events. The 1995 flooding of the Pajaro River caused considerable
damage to the infrastructure of many service providers in Pajaro. A damaged sewer line had
to be replaced by the District as a result of this flood event.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The current residential and commercial service rates are uniform. They vary from $25.73–
$35.16/month depending upon location. Generally, residents in Las Lomas pay a higher
monthly fee than Pajaro residents as a result of a rate study conducted by a consultant hired
by the County. The consultant, Bartle-Wells, evaluated factors such as debt retirement and
grant funds received and concluded that these costs were higher for Los Lomas residents
than for Pajaro residents. The study did not address increased distance from the Watsonville
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 110
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
treatment plant and elevation change between Las Lomas and the plant, both of which
contribute to increased pumping costs to serve Las Lomas residents. According to Public
Works staff, the Bartle-Wells study needs to be updated.
Industrial rates are $140.47/equivalent dwelling unit/month. The size of the commercial
use determines how many dwelling unit equivalents are applied to its service rate. The
County Board of Supervisors sets the service fees similar to how service fees are established
for CSAs throughout the County. A budget for services, based on zones, is prepared by the
Public Works Department and submitted to the Board for consideration. The last time
service rates for this District were updated was May 1999.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District utilizes the infrastructure and services of the City of Watsonville wastewater
treatment plant managed by the City which is located within Santa Cruz County. This
facility provides wastewater treatment for all sewage collection within the City of
Watsonville and some urbanized areas just beyond the City limits. This is the most
proximate treatment plant to both the communities of Pajaro and Las Lomas. As discussed
above, the District also utilizes the services of the staff of Operations Division of County
Public Works. This sharing of facilities and resources has proven to be very economical for
a relatively small service district.
If Public Works divests itself from wastewater collection activities, as planned, the District
will be faced with contracting with another existing trained staff to manage its facilities or
hiring its own staff to provide direct local management of the District. The latter alternative
may increase costs, as it would require funding a District Office facility to house local staff
and hiring staff. An alternative to this scenario would be to dissolve the District and
consolidate its activities with the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District.
Pajaro/Sunny Mesa has a District office and water supply infrastructure in Pajaro, but no
infrastructure in Las Lomas. This issue is further discussed in the following section.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is currently governed by the County Board of Supervisors who also act as the
Board of the District. Public meetings of the District Board are conducted on an as needed
basis by the Board when they meet as the Board of Supervisors at the County Governmental
Center in Salinas. The Board uses the North County General Plan and the County’s 20 Year
Capital Improvement Plan to guide its decisions regarding the District. Unlike the Moss
Landing Sanitation District, there is no Advisory Council of local residents to advise the
Board on concerns and views of District residents.
The District will need to establish another governmental structure if the Public Works
Department ceases wastewater collection services. Other governing structures include
establishing its own governing District Board or dissolving the District and consolidating its
functions with another district. The Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District
currently serves much of the District with domestic water, park and street lighting services
and some street maintenance services under special contract. On July 28, 2003
Pajaro/Sunny Mesa was granted approval by LAFCO to annex the area located between
urbanized Pajaro and the community of Las Lomas, but not including Las Lomas
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 111
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
Consolidating District services with Pajaro/Sunny Mesa would require approval of another
annexation to add Las Lomas to the Community Service District. Similarly, the
establishment of a separate District Board for a new sanitation district would also require
LAFCO approval for district reorganization.
7. EVALUATION OF MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
All management is provided by the County Public Works Department which is housed at
the County of Monterey’s East Laurel Drive facility in Salinas. Public Works does not
dedicate staff solely to District operations, but rather assigns staff to the operations of three
sanitation districts and various CSAs in North County. This provides an efficient use of staff
as none of the three districts or the CSAs generate enough individual needs to support one
or more full-time staff. The Public Works Department also has several resources, including
an integrated computer system and related office technology and a fleet of maintenance
vehicles; all of which support District operations. A separation of the District from Public
Works could generate management inefficiencies due to less resources being available by
another management entity.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District does not provide publications or newsletters to inform residents of activities
and issues of the District or related functions of the Public Works Department. Public
participation is provided by public hearings of the County Board of Supervisors when they
are discussing business of the District. However, the Board does not routinely discuss
business of the District so opportunities for public participation in District issues are limited.
The Board of Supervisors conducts business of the District periodically on a limited basis, as
District business is minor in comparison to other business conducted by the Board.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 112
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. Issues regarding this District are similar to that of the Moss Landing Sanitation District;
however this District serves a population that is 9 times larger than that now served by
the Moss Landing District and a customer base that is 5 times greater than at Moss
Landing.
2. The infrastructure of the District is limited to sewer lines and pump stations; all of which
are currently in good working condition.
3. The District has no staff of its own. It is managed by the County Public Works
Department.
4. County Public Works wants to divest itself of managing sanitation services. If this
occurs, it will require a reorganization of the District to have its own governing Board
and staff or it will require dissolution of the District and consolidation of District
functions with another service district.
5. Unlike the Moss Landing District, service fees, provide the leading source of District
revenues. Of total revenues for FY 2002-03, 76.5% are from service fees.
6. The District does not treat or dispose of wastewater on its own. Wastewater collected
within the District is treated at the City of Watsonville wastewater treatment plant in
Santa Cruz County.
7. If County Public Works divests itself of managing the District, the District will lose
significant resources, including the support of the County’s office technology,
maintenance equipment and personnel trained in various skills related to sewer and
sanitation service. These resources will need to be replaced for the adequate
functioning of the District.
8. Dissolving the District and annexing its functions to the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community
Service District is a potential way that sanitation services could continue to be provided
if the District is not managed by County Public Works in the future. Pajaro/Sunny Mesa
and Public Works are currently studying this type of reorganization. However, this
would require that Pajaro/Sunny Mesa expand its boundaries to include the community
of Las Lomas.
9. The current management of the District is removed from the local area. It occurs in
Salinas by a department that is responsible for various County-wide functions. The
District has no governing Board solely of its own. These factors limit the amount of
public participation that can occur regarding policy making. A reorganization of the
District or consolidation with another service district, as discussed in items 4 and 8
above, would provide greater public access to decision-making.

MOSS LANDING HARBOR DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Moss Landing Harbor District was formed in 1943 to provide a commercial and
recreational boating harbor at Moss Landing to serve commercial fishermen and residents of
the North County and Greater Salinas areas. The District covers 370 square miles and
extends from the coast east to the Monterey/San Benito County line and from the
Monterey/Santa Cruz County line to as far south as the Corral del Tierra area as shown on
Figure 28. The creation of the District resulted in an extensive development project in
1949 to build the harbor. This included connecting Elkhorn Slough with the Monterey Bay
and other dredging to deepen the harbor’s marine area for vessel traffic.
The District provides all services at the Moss Landing Harbor including maintenance of
harbor facilities and management of boat berthings. Individuals may berth a vessel at the
harbor by renting berth space from the District. The harbor includes the main harbor area,
located south of main channel to the Monterey Bay, and the North Harbor which is located
north of the main channel. Larger vessels berth at the main harbor. The District also owns
and operates Kirby Park at the east end of Elkhorn Slough. This facility provides parking and
launch ramp for kayaks and other small vessels that can navigate the slough.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The District’s facilities are located in two locations—the harbor and Kirby Park. The majority
of facilities are located at the harbor, which is located at the entrance of Elkhorn Slough.
These facilities are listed in the table below. Kirby Park is a much smaller facility located at
the opposite end of Elkhorn Slough. Its facilities are limited to a paved parking lot, a boat
launch ramp and a wheel chair accessible nature viewing trail.
District owned buildings include a 2,800 square foot commercial building which is leased
to two private businesses—a pottery shop, named the Pot Stop, and Monterey Bay Kayaks
and a 33,600 square foot cannery building which is leased to seven individual marine-
related business. The businesses in the larger building are Monterey Fish, Solomon Live
Fish, Sea Harvest, Sanctuary Stainless (Jablanski), AOA Geophysics, Moss Landing Marine
Laboratories and Aquatech Photo Imaging. The District collects lease rents from these
businesses.

1. Excluding side-ties
The District plans to replace all docks and vessel berths within the next two years.
Infrastructure has not been damaged as the result of flooding or other natural disasters.
However, considerable effort has been undertaken in recent years to dredge the harbor and
provide shoreline stabilization and erosion control due to storm events. The marine areas of
the harbor necessitate regular dredging. The flood events of 1995 and 1998 caused
substantial siltation of the harbor waters and extraordinary dredging was required to allow
boat traffic in and out of much of the harbor.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 119
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
In addition to the planned dock replacements discussed above, the District is planning a
major restoration and renovation project for the North Harbor. The proposal that is
currently before the County for permitting includes a new launch ramp, parking lot, two
new restaurants, a public access wharf, a coastal access trail, and visitor serving docks. One
of the two new restaurants is a replacement of a former restaurant that was destroyed by
fire. It was approved for construction in advance of the remainder of the project was
completed and opened for business in December 2003.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The estimated population within the District. is 148,000 persons. The District provides
direct services to the renters of the 700 vessel berths and numerous visitors and transient
vessels that use the harbor and Kirby Park on a daily basis.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The budget for fiscal year 2002-03 was $3,950,957. This was an increase from budgets of
previous years. Budget revenues for FY 2001-02 totaled $2,048,550. Revenues for FY 2000-
01 were $1,650,391. Berth space rental fees provide the largest source of revenues. In FY
2002-03 these fees provided $1,490,750 before discounts were applied. Discounts on
berthing fees are given to commercial fishing boats and for those who pay on an annual or
quarterly basis rather than on a monthly basis. When discounts are applied, total berthing
fees are reduced to $1,424,325. Service fees for related marina operations provided
$297,600 in revenue. These fees include live-aboard charges, intra-harbor towing and
parking fees. Commercial leases provide the second greatest sources of revenue. In FY
2002-03 leases to commercial or institutional uses provided revenues of $400,000. The
District leases lands it owns to various private businesses which construct their own
buildings and operate their businesses independently. These businesses are:
• K Dock (Commercial fishing vessels) *
• Santa Cruz Cannery (housing Sea Harvest, Monterey Fish, Sanctuary
Stainless [Jabalonski], Solomon Live Fish, AOA Geophysics, Moss Landing
Marine Labs & Aquatech Photo Imaging) *
• Pisto’s (formerly Maloney’s) Restaurant
• Sea Harvest (formerly) NH Restaurant
• Moss Landing Recreational Vehicle Park
• Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI)
• The Pot Stop (garden pottery) *
• Monterey Bay Kayak (kayak rentals and tours)
* These businesses are located in a District owned building
Property taxes provided $175,000 in funds for FY 2002-03, which was 4% of total
revenues; a significantly smaller percentage than property taxes provide for most special
districts. All revenues are depicted in the pie chart below.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 120
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
Capital improvements generate the largest expense at $1,525,500 for FY 2002-03. The next
greatest expenditure is for the salaries of the District staff $663,015 for FY 2002-03. Utilities
are the third greatest expenditure. The expenditures for the last fiscal year are shown in the
pie chart below.

The most significant fiscal issues for the District are the high cost to perform regular
dredging of the marine area of the harbor and the cost of obtaining federal governmental
permits to allow the dredging to occur. These issues are discussed under Sections 5 and 7
below.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 121
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The District’s Governing Board establishes service fees for harbor operations based on
recommendations of District staff and input at public hearings. Fees were most recently
updated in May 2003. Berth rentals are charged according the length of the vessel. This fee
is $5.56/foot/month. Commercial vessels receive a discount of $0.50/foot/month resulting
in a monthly fee of $5.06/foot.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District does not use the facilities or resources of other public agencies to carryout its
services. However, the District does lease some of its property to private businesses and
MBARI so related commercial and research services can be provided at the harbor. This
lease arrangement provides important resources for the local commercial fishing industry,
recreational amenities for members of the public using the harbor area and an
internationally known marine research facility. These private uses are listed in Section 2
above.
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers provides an important dredging service for the harbor.
The Corps routinely conducts regular federal channel maintenance dredging from the
mouth of the Harbor to the Sandholt Road’s one-lane bridge. The District is responsible for
dredging other channels in the harbor. The Corps dredging includes the main east-west
channel from its mouth to the two jetties and the north-south channel of the main harbor.
The District dredges the north-south channel in the North Harbor and the segment of the
main east-west channel that lies east of the jetties.
Domestic water service was previously provided by the Alco Water Company, which had
provided water service for the entire community of Moss Landing. As discussed in the
Pajaro/Sunny Mesa CSD chapter, this service is now provided by Pajaro/Sunny Mesa.
However, this Sewage collection is provided by the Moss Landing Sanitation District. Fire
protection services are provided by the North County Fire District.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by a five member Board who are elected at-large to four-year terms
by voters within the District. Board members establish all policies of the District. The Board
meets once/month at the District office at 7881 Sandholdt Road. Two land use plans,
prepared by the County Planning Department, are utilized by the Board in setting some of
its policies. They are the North County General Plan and the Moss Landing Community
Plan.
The District is also authorized by the California Harbor and Navigation Code, to require
permits for various activities within the harbor. Permits are required to construct buildings
or other facilities on District owned property, launch vessels, live-aboard vessels berthed at
the harbor and parking for some motor vehicles. District construction permits are similar to
a local agency Use Permit and are subject to Environmental Review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 122
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
7. EVALUATION OF MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The mission statement of the District is:
To provide a functional, visitor-friendly harbor for commercial and
recreational uses and to provide the number one commercial fishing
harbor in the Monterey Bay and a year around port of safe refuge,
partnering with marine research and education with full public access
to the marine environment.
The District employs 9 full-time people. This is a reduction from previous fiscal years. In FY
2001-02 the District employed 12 full-time people. In the FY 2000-01 13 full-time people
were employed as District staff. According to the Harbormaster, the reduction in staff has
been done by the Board to allow a transfer of funds to other expenses categories and to
recognize an increased efficiency among the staff members. The District staff is organized
into three divisions—administration, operations and maintenance.
According to District staff, one of the activities that require substantial staffing time is
permitting for harbor dredging and related activities. Pursuant to the federal Clean Water
Act, the District must obtain a permit from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for any
channel dredging that is not performed by the Corps itself. Recently, the Corps approved a
10 year permit for channel dredging by the District. The Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary (MBNMS) also requires a permit for dredging; however, the District disputes this
on the grounds that their dredging constitutes a pre-existing activity that was exempted from
permitting in the authorizing legislation that created the MBNMS. This issue has not been
resolved.
District staff receives training as needed throughout the year. Increased negotiation skills are
presently considered the greatest staff training need. By increasing this skill, staff believes
they will be able to better achieve their goals when negotiating over permitting
requirements with the various regulatory agencies. In the District’s view, every time they
apply for a permit to make an improvement they must justify the project to a number of
regulatory agencies and most regulatory agencies often impose onerous conditions to their
approval. The various regulatory agencies were not contacted for their views on this issue
for the purposes of this report.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
District meetings are open to the public. They are publicized by flyers posted on dock gates
and on District buildings. The District has a website at www.mosslandingharbor.dst.ca.us.
This website provides substantial information including names of Board members with e-
mail links, District staff directory, Board meeting agendas and minutes, berth rates, available
office space for lease, and other harbor resources. The District also mails out flyers with
monthly billing statements.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 123
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. About 46% of total revenues for the District are derived from berthing fees and leasing
to private commercial businesses and research institutions. This has resulted in less
dependence upon property taxes or other types of public funds than occurs with most
other special districts.
2. Harbor dredging is a major task and expenditure for the District; however the Army
Corps of Engineers conducts approximately half of the dredging needed for the harbor
at no cost to the District.
3. The District must obtain a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers for its channel
dredging pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act. The District disputes the need to also
obtain regulatory approval from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to
conduct channel dredging.
4. The District must participate in the permit process of several regulatory agencies for
most of its development activities, such as channel dredging and building construction.
District personnel believe that many of the permit conditions incorporated into
regulatory approvals can be onerous or create hardships for the District. Further
research, including contacting these agencies, would be required to better understand
this issue.
5. The Moss Landing Harbor District is authorized to approve or deny permits for various
activities within the harbor, including the construction of buildings. This is unique for a
non-land use regulatory agency.
6. The District maintains a useful website that provides in depth information about District
governance, staff personnel, berth rates and harbor resources. It is not known how many
residents who live within the District are cognizant of this website.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 124

NORTH COUNTY RECREATION AND PARK DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The North County Recreation and Park District was formed in 1954 through voter
referendum to provide parks and recreational services for Castroville, Moss Landing, parts
of Prunedale and the rural areas between these communities. In recent years the agency has
also expanded to provide some recreational services beyond District boundaries to provide
contract services to small communities that do not have recreational services of their own.
In addition to owning and maintaining several park sites, the North County Recreation and
Park District is the only agency that provides public recreational programs in the North
County area. While there are two large County parks in North County, Royal Oaks Park and
Manzanita Park, the County of Monterey Parks Department responsibilities are limited to
maintaining these parks. Sports leagues and other recreational programs (e.g. day camps for
children, jazzercize classes) in North County are managed by either non-profit sports league
organizations or the North County Recreation and Park District.
District covers a 46 square mile area as shown on Figure 31. The town of Castroville is in
the center of the District. The District extends from the coast eastward to the western edge
of the Prunedale area and from the north side of Elkhorn Slough south to the Marina City
limits. The District’s Sphere of Influence extends about 2 miles northeast of the current
District boundaries to include the remainder of the Prunedale area not presently within
District boundaries.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The District owns and maintains 5 parks all within or very proximate to Castroville.
Development of a sixth site is in the planning stages in cooperation with the North
Monterey County Unified School District. One park includes a recreation center that also
houses the District offices. Another park includes a maintenance building where
maintenance equipment is stored. The District also has a joint-use agreement with the
school district to use the Gambetta Middle School gymnasium and the Castroville School
ball fields. The park and recreation facilities are listed in the table below. The table is
followed by a map showing the locations of these facilities.
All District owned park facilities combined provide 1 soccer field and 3 softball/baseball
fields and 1 gymnasium. Public park agencies use the National Recreation, Park and Open
Space Standards and Guidelines published in 1987 by the National Recreation and Park
Association as a guide to determine the number types and sizes of public park facilities
according to the size of the population served. For sports fields the standards include 1
soccer field/2,500 people and 1 baseball/softball field/5,000 people. Based on the District’s
population of 15,000 and the served population of 32,000, the District has a substantial
shortfall of facilities. According to these national standards, there is a deficit of 11 soccer
fields and 16 ball fields. Based on the District population alone, there is a deficit of 5
soccer fields and 6 ball fields.

The deficits discussed above do not yet take into account the impending loss of Castro Field
in the center of Castroville. This ball field was recently purchased by the County, for a
public library site. While construction of a new library will provide a greatly needed
service to the community, it will occur at the expense of public park fields. The District is
currently leasing the field from the County until construction begins on the library in 2004.
To address a permanent replacement of the Castro Field and the overall field deficit
problem, the District has recently expanded its joint-use agreement with the North
Monterey County Unified School District to construct soccer fields and ball fields on vacant
land owned by the District at the high school campus. The facilities will be constructed by
the Recreation District on land owned by the School District under an agreement that both
entities will share in the use of the fields. The field will be constructed in phases with
phase 1 including 1 lighted combination ball/soccer fields and 1 additional softball field.
Phase 2 will provide 3 additional soccer fields. Completion of fields will decrease the
deficit of athletic fields within the District but will not eliminate it. Purchase of additional
park sites is a major need of the District; however this is complicated by the lack of funds to
do so.
In addition to constructing and maintaining park facilities, an important function of the
District is coordinating and managing various recreational programs both within and
outside of the District. Programs include sports leagues, nature camps, hot lunch programs,
and various special interest classes ranging from kayaking to art. Sports leagues play on
District fields. Classes are held both at District facilities and other public facilities
throughout the North County area. The provision of these programs outside of the
boundaries of the District is discussed under section 5 below.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
The estimated population within the District is 15,000 persons. Since there are no other
recreational service providers in North County, District staff state they actually serve a
population within a wider area with an estimated population of 32,000. Staff uses the
future population forecasts provided by AMBAG and the County Planning Department.
Future projections place the population of the District in 2010 at 20,000 people and in
2020 at 28,000 people. As there are additional residents who live outside of the District
who also use District programs, the actual future population served would be higher than
the future projections within the District itself.
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The budget for fiscal year 2002-03 was $751,077. This is about $70,000 greater than the
previous fiscal year budget and almost twice that for FY 2000-01. Contract services provide
the largest revenue source providing almost $120,000 more than received from taxes.
Property taxes and special taxes are the second greatest revenue source. Other revenues are
shown in the pie chart below. The large increase in revenues is a result of Redevelopment
Area grants for the development of the new Japanese School Park, a state grant for after-
school recreational programs for youth and the formation of Mello-Roos Community
District at the Moro Cojo Subdivision.
Contract services include programs that the District provides for non-profit organizations
and communities outside of the District though a contractual agreement with the outside
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 133
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
organization. This is an important source of funds for the District and indicates the lack of
public recreational agencies beyond District boundaries in other areas of North County.
This source of revenue is not necessarily stable. Outside organizations in North County
contract with the District to provide certain programs when they do not have the means to
provide them directly and when the funds are available. Currently the District is providing
contract services in the communities of Pajaro and Las Lomas.
The County’s approval of the Moro Cojo subdivision created a subdivision of 175 single-
family homes and two additional lots containing 90 multi-family dwellings (rental
apartments). This urban density neighborhood is located 2 miles northeast of Castroville
adjacent to the campus of North Monterey County High School. County approval of the
subdivision permit in 1994 included a requirement for a funding mechanism to provide
maintenance for a 3.4 acre park in the subdivision. The District formed a Mello-Roos
Community Facilities District as that funding mechanism to provide additional taxes for the
Recreation and Park District. This allows the assessment of a special tax to pay directly for
park maintenance needs within the Community Facilities District in addition to the normal
property taxes received by the District. Mello-Roos funds provide about $70,000/year to the
District. Mello-Roos funding can also be used, in part, for the future construction of joint-
use athletic fields and associated facilities at the high school but will require a 2/3 voter
approval by the tax payers in the District. The creation of the Mello-Roos District has
provided a source of funds that is not always available to public agencies. Without these
funds, the athletic field deficit would be greater than it is today.

Fees for participation in scheduled classes and organized sport team play is also an
important source of funds. Over $86,000 was collected by these service fees during the
fiscal year. This issue is further discussed below.
According to District staff, a substantial amount of tax revenues are not being received by
the District due to the County’s unwillingness to allow annexations with a corresponding
tax base transfer. Investigation of this issue is beyond the scope of this report.
4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The District charges fees for most of its recreational programs. Several classes and programs
are offered free of charge, especially those for youth and senior citizens. Fees vary
depending upon the type of activity. For example, the day camp for teens is
$150/person/week and youth basketball league is $40/person/season. Non-District residents
are charged a higher fee for fee classes and programs. The amount of the additional charge
also varies. There is no standard percentage set for increases in fees that out-of-District
residents pay. Fees are listed in the Recreation Program Guide, a twice/year publication of
the District. The District has purposely not charged for certain programs (e.g. yoga, youth
drop-in recreation) and kept fees low for other programs to make recreational programs
available to everyone in the District; many of whom are from lower-income families or are
lower fixed-income seniors. Increasing the fees charged for these events could be an
additional source of income, but could also result in some people not participating in
classes and sports leagues. The District could also choose to keep fees stable for District
residents but increase them slightly for out-of-District residents. The issue of balancing costs
with resident participation is an on-going concern of District staff.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 135
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
There is also a charge to reserve District facilities on an hourly basis. Available facilities
range from meeting rooms to ball fields. Fee for these facilities vary depending upon the
type of facility being reserved. For example the in-District resident fee for a meeting room is
$32/hour. ($37/hour for non-residents). The fee for a ball field with lights is $29/hour.
($33/hour for non-residents).
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
As discussed in section 1 above, the District has a joint-use agreement with the North
Monterey County Unified School District to share facilities. This agreement is very
beneficial to both parties. It provides additional facilities (e.g. Gambetta School gym and
Castroville School ball fields) that would not otherwise be available to the District.
Recreational programs are provided at school sites that would not otherwise occur at these
sites. The joint-use agreement has recently been expanded to allow the construction of the
Community/Nature/Recreation Project at the vacant area on the high school campus and an
adjoining 75 acres which are the remaining parcels form the Moro-Cojo subdivision that the
District has now acquired. This project, when completed, will provide a greater amount of
sports fields than exist at any of the other District parks, as well as provide needed
additional fields at the high school.
As discussed above, other organizations in need of recreational programs are contracting
with the District to provide certain programs outside of the District in facilities owned and
operated by another entity. During the past two fiscal years the non-profit group “Together
in Pajaro” contracted with the District to provide a summer recreation program for Pajaro
and La Lomas residents. Community Bridges contracted with the District to provide a free
lunch program in Pajaro. Another organization has contracted with the District to provide a
similar senior program in Castroville, Prunedale and Pajaro. These contracts for services are
based on the contracting party providing the facility where the program will take place.
The District believes that the planning and permitting of new large subdivisions does not
include utilizing existing facilities for shared uses, such as using schools for after-school
recreation programs. While most people agree that utilizing existing facilities for recreation
programs is more economical than constructing new facilities, a comprehensive
investigation of this matter to fully understand this issue is beyond the scope of this report.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by the 5 member Board of Directors who are appointed by the
County Board of Supervisors. The governing Board meets monthly in Castroville. The Board
does not utilize a planning document to guide the selection of future park sites, types of
parks or recreational programs.
7. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The mission statement of the District is as follows:
The North County Recreation and Park District Board of Directors
and staff are dedicated to serving the needs of people of all ages in
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 136
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
the district, through local control, with quality parks and recreational
programs.
The District employs 7 staff year-around staff members, some of which are part-time.
Additional summer staff persons are hired to conduct recreational programs during the
summer months. These programs are primarily directed towards school age children. The
calculation for the complete staffing is 9 full-time equivalent persons, which include both
part-time year-around and part-time summer employees. Management staff is housed in the
North County Recreation Center.
All year-around staff receive monthly safety training. Summer staff also receives safety
training at the commencement of their three month employment period. Additional training
is provided for year-around staff on various topics relating to their jobs on an as-needed
basis. Office technology includes a computer system that allows residents to register on-line
for recreational programs. Staff believes their office technology is adequate to meet the
currently communication and budgeting needs of the District.
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
The District publishes a recreational program guide once or twice/year (depending on the
year) that is mailed to each household within the District and many households beyond the
District. It is also distributed through area schools and at the North County Recreation
Center. The program guide also summarizes news about District activities, such as the
construction of new facilities. Registration for recreational programs can be done by mail,
phone, on-line via the internet or in person at the District Office/Recreation Center.
Residents can also participate in policy decisions by attending the monthly Board meetings.
District staff states that meeting notices are submitted to local newspapers but these
meetings notices are not regularly publicized in area newspapers.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 137
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The District maintains 5 park facilities and operates recreational programs. It is the only
service provider in North County to provide recreational programs. As a result, some
agencies outside of the District contract with the District so some recreational programs
to occur in these other North County areas.
2. The District covers a 46 square mile area; however, all park sites are within or very near
Castroville.
3. A joint-use agreement with the North Monterey County Unified School District has
maximized recreational facilities for District residents. The expansion of this joint-use
agreement to construct a new park at the high school campus will provide the largest
park facility in the District when it is completed.
4. Based on a District population of 15,000 there is currently a deficit of 11 soccer fields
and 10 ball fields. The completion of the new park at the high school campus will
provide 3 new soccer fields and 2 new ball fields. This will reduce the deficit but not
eliminate it.
5. Population forecasts place the population of the District at 20,000 people in 2010 and
at 28,000 in 2020. Even if these populations are not reached, there will be an even
greater need for additional park and recreational facilities in the near future than at
present.
6. Contract services provide the leading revenue source for the District. However, these
funds pay for only those programs which the District provides on a contractual basis
with another agency or organization. Such contract services are primarily to serve areas
beyond the District.
7. The District benefits from two innovative funding sources for land acquisition and
capital improvements. The establishment of a Mello-Roos Community Facilities District
provides funds to provide maintenance for the Moro Cojo Park. The Community
Facilities District (CFD) could be revised to allow for land acquisition and capital
improvements; however, any new taxes must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the
homeowners in the CFD. The Redevelopment Agency is providing funding for the
development of the new Japanese School Park in Castroville.
8. Many recreational programs and classes are financed, entirely or in part, by fees
charged to participants. But the District Board has made a decision to keep fees low and
in some cases to not charge any fees to make recreation programs accessible to
everyone in the District.
9. The District’s Recreation Program Guide is the major outreach publication. It is
published once or twice/year and mailed to each household in the District and many
households in Pajaro, Las Lomas, Aromas and Prunedale. Registering to participate in
programs is facilitated by the various methods that registration can occur, including by
telephone and on-line registration via the internet.

CASTROVILLE CEMETERY DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Castroville Cemetery District provides cemetery and burial services for the Castroville,
Moss Landing, Prunedale, Oak Hills and Elkhorn areas. To be buried in the District’s single
cemetery, a decedent must have been a resident or taxpayer within the District or
purchased a burial plot before leaving the District. Family members eligible for burial are
limited to spouses, parents, grandparents, children and siblings of District residents and
taxpayers. The District was formed in 1952. In the 1950’s the District purchased two
adjoining private cemeteries in Moss Landing, one affiliated with the Catholic Church and
the other affiliated with Protestant churches. Upon purchase, the two cemeteries were
joined into a single public cemetery which continues to the serve the District. The Marina
area was originally included within the District, but that area was detached from the District
in 1978. The District’s cemetery in Moss Landing is the only public cemetery within the
North County area.

MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
The single cemetery in the District is located on Moss Landing Road in Moss Landing. It
covers 4.5 acres of developed burial area and another 7 acres which is undeveloped and
will be used for the cemetery’s future expansion area. The cemetery grounds include a
1,656 square foot office/chapel building and a 400 square foot maintenance shed. The
maintenance shed has been burglarized on several occasions in the past year resulting in
equipment theft. The first infrastructure priority of the District is to replace this building with
a new secure shop/storage facility on the cemetery grounds. The second priority is to add a
cremains (cremation remains) niche to the existing office/chapel. These new improvements
are anticipated to meet the needs of the District in the near future. However, the District has
not identified a source of funds for these improvements.
2. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
The 2002-03 fiscal year budget is $127,000. This is an increase of $35,600 over the 2001-
02 FY budget which was $91,400. This increase is primary due a larger than normal sale of
cemetery plots. Figures were not provided for the 2000-01 FY. The sales of cemetery plots
and vaults provide the greatest source of revenue for the District. Fifty percent of District
revenues ($63,495) came from these sales in FY 2002-03. Property taxes provide the next
greatest revenue source, providing 36% of revenues ($46,000). Other revenues are shown
in the pie chart below.

$63,495
State Funds
$505 $17,000 Sales of Plots &
Vaults
Salaries and benefits for District staff is the largest expenditure item accounting for 67% of
all District expenditures ($85,000). Other major expenditures are utilities charges, including
domestic water for irrigation, and supplies and equipment. Water is provided by the Alco
Water Company, a private company which is the domestic water provider for Moss
Landing. Twenty-two percent ($28,550) of the District’s budget was spent in the first
category in FY 2002-03. Costs to repair and replace supplies and equipment to maintain
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 143
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
the cemetery required 9% of all expenditures ($11,500). The budget does not include
capital improvements or a reserve fund to finance future major capital construction or land
acquisitions costs. As a result, there is no accrued savings towards funding the new
buildings that are discussed in section 1 above.

3. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The District provides various rates for burial prices and services at the cemetery. Rates vary
according to such factors as single burial, second burial in a double plot and cremation
rather than traditional burial. The District also offers pre-payment options that allow persons
to pre-pay for certain burial costs prior to their death, but these options equal the normal
burial costs when they are totaled over the long-term. A traditional burial costs $2,034.
Cremated remains service totals a cost of $446. A typical single burial includes the charges
shown in the table below. The District will also provide services at the cemetery on
Saturday for a fee of $600. The cost of these services is reduced to $350 for infants and to
$300 for cremations. The reduced charges for cremations shows an effort by the District to
conserve land in the cemetery. The reduced charges for infant services show a greater
sensitivity towards this type of service.
The District limits costs to pay for outside services to an auditing firm that conducts and
annual audit and a tree service business to remove dead or diseased trees when necessary.

4. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
The District does not coordinate facility planning or services with another district or agency.
There are no shared facilities with another service provider. There is only one other public
cemetery district within the North County area—the Pajaro Valley Cemetery District; and
the facilities if this district are all located within Santa Cruz County.
5. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
The District is governed by a five member governing board whose members are elected at-
large to serve 4 year terms. The Board meets once/month in the District office at the
Castroville cemetery. Meeting notices are posted at the District office, but are not published
in a newspaper of regular circulation.
6. EVALUATION OF MANGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
The District employee three staff members who all work at the cemetery. They include the
general manager, who has a 0.75 FTE position and two full-time maintenance
workers/groundskeepers. Staff is provided with occasional training programs in safety
procedures for the application of chemical fertilizers.
The District office has conventional office technology resources that include a computer, a
fax machine and a copy machine. The general manger states that these resources meet the
needs of the District.
7. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
Board meetings are conducted on a monthly basis and are open to the public. However, the
lack of public notice limits the amount of public participation that could occur at these
meetings. Other public concerns can be communicated to the general manager, who is
accessible at the District office, which is located at the cemetery on Moss Landing Road in
Moss Landing.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 145
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. The District owns and operates the single public cemetery within the North County
area. The cemetery includes a seven acre expansion area. This vacant portion of the
cemetery is 50% larger than the developed area at the site.
2. Burglaries are a problem at the cemetery’s equipment/storage building. There is no
identified source of funds to replace the existing building with a new more secure
storage building.
3. The District does not keep population statistics of District residents, but does keep
records on the number of annual interments. An average of 45–50 internments occur
each year.
4. While property taxes are an important source of revenue, sales of cemetery plots and
burial vaults provide 132% as much revenue as received by taxes.
5. The District does not share facilities or facility planning with any other public agency.
The only other cemetery district within North County is the Pajaro Valley Cemetery
District, but all facilities of this district are located within Santa Cruz County.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 146
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
PAJARO VALLEY PUBLIC CEMETERY DISTRICT
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
The Pajaro Valley Public Cemetery District covers the Pajaro, Los Lomas and Aromas areas
in Monterey County and the southern part of Santa Cruz County extending as far north as
the Aptos area. The boundaries of the District are shown on Figure 39. The present
boundaries of the District are the same as when the District was originally formed. The
majority of the District’s geographic area is within Santa Cruz County. An MSR inventory
for the District will be included in MSR being prepared by the County of Santa Cruz
LAFCO. A summary description for the District is provided in this report. To obtain a
complete MSR discussion for the Pajaro Valley Cemetery District, readers are directed to
contact the County of Santa Cruz LAFCO by telephoning (831) 454-2055.
The District was formed in 1955 to purchase and manage a poorly maintained private
cemetery in the Watsonville area. In 1961 and 1962 the District took over ownership and
management of two former Catholic cemeteries at the request of the Monterey Diocese of
the Catholic Church. Presently, the District owns and manages five cemeteries covering a
combined area of 39 acres all within Santa Cruz County. These cemeteries are the Pioneer
Cemetery and Watsonville Catholic Cemetery both located on Freedom Blvd. in
Watsonville; the Valley Catholic Cemetery and Valley Public Cemetery both located on
Hecker Pass Road east of Watsonville and the Day Valley Cemetery located on Day Valley
Road in the rural Aptos area. In 1976 the District purchased additional land for the
expansion of the Valley Catholic Cemetery. The District is interested in purchasing
additional land for a 6th cemetery site, but has not begun a formal site selection search.
The District office is located at the Pioneer Cemetery in Watsonville. The office is relatively
new with a floor area of 1,350 square feet. The District is governed by a five member Board
who are each appointed to 4 year terms by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors.
Daily operation of the District is carried out by a general manager, a secretary and 4
groundskeepers. Irrigation water for the two cemeteries located on Hecker Pass Road is
provided by an on-site well owned by the District. The City of Watsonville provides
domestic water to the two cemeteries located within Watsonville for irrigation use. The
Central Water District provides domestic water for the smaller Day Valley Cemetery. This is
a historic cemetery where internments are limited to deceased relatives of those now buried
there.
The District does not know the population within the area it serves. Past LAFCO inventories
of local agencies list the total population at 65,000 persons, but does not specify how much
of this total is within Monterey County. The District keeps statistics on the number of
internments which occur in each cemetery each year, but does not keep records on how
many of these interments are deceased residents from Monterey County or other counties.
Similar to the Castroville Cemetery District, to be eligible for burial the deceased must be a
resident of the District, a former resident of the District or a family member of a current or
former resident.

COMMUNITY SERVICE AREAS (CSAs) OF NORTH COUNTY
SERVICES PROVIDED AND SERVICE AREA
There are 13 Community Service Areas (CSAs) within the North County area. These CSAs
were formed at various times beginning in 1962 to provide limited municipal services
primarily for small residential enclaves with urban or suburban densities in otherwise rural
areas of North County. Many of the CSAs were formed as a condition of approval of the
subdivision permit that created the residential enclave that is served by the CSA. One CSA
contains the geographic area more representative of a service district. This is CSA #14
Castroville, which includes the unincorporated town of Castroville and the nearby Moro
Cojo area. The other 12 CSAs cover relatively small areas and provide sanitation, storm
sewer, open space maintenance or street lighting services for single-family residential areas.
Several of the CSAs cover two or more non-contiguous areas, as shown on the map
provided by Figure 1. Summary descriptions of the areas served and the services provided
by each CSA are discussed below.
CSA #14—Castroville
This CSA was formed in 1962 to provide storm sewer, sanitation sewers, street maintenance
and recreational services for the town of Castroville and a 415 acre area located 0.5 mile
northeast of Castroville, which includes the Moro Cojo subdivision and North Monterey
County High School. Recreational services are provided by contract with the North County
Recreation and Park District. All other services are provided by the staff of the County
Public Works Department. The Castroville portion of the CSA covers almost the same area
as the Castroville Water District and provides municipal services for commercial and
industrial uses. The discontiguous area to the northeast covers an area that is 90% the land
area of Castroville but has a lower residential density. This portion is in residential use, high
school campus or is vacant land. The relatively large size of CSA #14, the multiple services
it provides and the diverse customer base, that includes commercial and industrial uses,
makes this CSA unique among the North County CSAs. As a result, this CSA is more similar
to a service district than a typical CSA.
CSA #26—New Moss Landing Heights
This CSA was formed in 1964 to provide street lighting for the New Moss Landing
subdivision. Lighting is provided through a contractual agreement with Pacific Gas and
Electric Company who owns and maintains all the street lighting facilities. This 62 lot
subdivision is located off Potrero Road at the southern edge of Moss Landing.
CSA #31—Aromas Hills Subdivision
This CSA was formed in 1964 to maintain storm drainage facilities for two non-contiguous
subdivisions within the village of Aromas. One subdivision consists of 22 single-family
residential parcels on a cul-de-sac that extends from Carpenteria Road. The other
subdivision contains 10 single-family residential lots on Blohm Avenue and a large
remainder lot that may be subdivided in the future if the County’s development moratorium
is rescinded.

CSA #32—Green Valley Acres and Moon Subdivisions
This CSA was formed in 1964 to provide street lighting and maintenance of storm drainage
facilities for three non-contiguous subdivisions in the Prunedale area. Street lighting is
provided through a contractual agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company who
owns and maintains all the street lighting facilities. Storm sewers and their associated
facilities are maintained by the County Public Works Department.
CSA #35—Rancho Borromeo and Paradise Park
This CSA was formed in 1965 to provide street lighting and maintenance of storm drainage
facilities for two non-contiguous subdivisions in the Prunedale area. Street lighting is
provided through a contractual agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company who
owns and maintains all the street lighting facilities. Storm sewers and their associated
facilities are maintained by the County Public Works Department. Rancho Borromeo is a
relatively large subdivision located on the east side of Highway 101 at 1.5 miles south of
the Highway 156 interchange. Paradise Park is a 37 lot subdivision located on west side of
Highway 101 just 0.6 mile south of the Highway 156 interchange.
CSA #37—Colonial Oaks Estates
This CSA was formed in 1965 to provide the residents within the Colonial Oaks Estates
subdivision with storm drainage maintenance. The 44 lot subdivision is located off Tustin
Road in the Prundale area.
CSA #38—Paradise Lake Estates
This CSA was formed in 1965 to provide storm drainage maintenance for the 64 parcels
within the Paradise Lake Estates subdivision. The subdivision is located off Paradise Road in
the Prunedale area.
CSA #45—Oak Hills Subdivision
This CSA was formed in 1966 to provide street lighting, storm drainage maintenance and
management of common open space for the Oak Hills subdivision. Street lighting is
provided through a contractual agreement with Pacific Gas and Electric Company who
owns and maintains the 87 street light facilities in the area. Storm sewers, their associated
facilities are maintained by the County Public Works Department. Until the 2004-05 fiscal
year, the common open space is was maintained by the County Park and Recreation
Department through an agreement with Public Works. This responsibility is now carried out
directly by County Public Works. This CSA serves is a relatively large medium- density
residential subdivision located off Highway 156 about 1 mile northeast of the town of
Castroville.
CSA #54—Manzanita and Sarsi Subdivisions
This CSA was formed in 1969 to maintain storm drainage facilities for two adjoining
subdivisions located off Sill Road in the community of Las Lomas. There are 18 residential
lots served by the CSA.
CSA #66—Las Lomas and Monterra Ranch
This CSA was formed in 1966 provide storm drainage maintenance services for a small area
of Las Lomas and the Monterra Ranch subdivision, which is located near the Monterey
Airport (not in North County). The residents within the Las Lomas portion of the CSA have
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 154
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
voted to cease maintenance of storm drainage needs on their own and have terminated
assessing themselves through the CSA. As a result, there are currently no services provided
to the Las Lomas portion of the CSA.
CSA #68—Vierra Canyon Knolls
This CSA was formed in 1978 to provide storm sewer facilities and maintenance for the 3
non-contiguous subdivisions in the Prunedale area. These include a 22 lot subdivision off
the western segment of Vierra Canyon Road, a 12 lot subdivision on a cul-de-sac extending
from the eastern segment of Vierra Canyon Road and a 44 lot subdivision off Berta Canyon
Road.
CSA #69—Ralph Lane and Monterra Ranch
This CSA was formed in 1982 as a back-up funding source to provide domestic water for
the Monterra Ranch area (not in North County) and the 23 residential lots on Ralph Lane in
Prunedale. The water system was sold in 2002 to the California American Water Company,
which now operates the water system. The County will therefore not continue active
participation in the CSA unless funding or management problems occur. Public Works is
now in the process of dissolving this CSA, although the final decision in this matter will up
to LAFCO.
CSA #100—Consolidated Sewer Service for 5 Subdivisions
This CSA was formed to provide a back-up funding in case the privately operated package
treatment plants that provide sanitation service for these 5 non-contiguous subdivisions
seriously malfunction. Two of these subdivisions are located within the North County area.
They are the Oak Hills subdivision, near Castroville and Monterey Dunes Colony, located
along the coast west of Molera Road. Currently, the County has no active participation in
this CSA as all the package treatment plants are operating adequately.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 155
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FACTORS
1. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS AND DEFICIENCES
Except for CSA #14, all of the CSAs listed above have very limited infrastructure which
primarily consists of storm sewers and detention basins. CSA #14 owns and manages 17.4
miles of sanitation sewer lines and 4 lift stations. Wastewater is collected in the sewers and
transported to the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency’s treatment plant
where it is treated and disposed. The CSA #14 Improvement Plan includes various
construction projects for new or replacement infrastructure, including new concrete curb,
gutter and sidewalk on various streets in Castroville and a new storm drainage line.
2. GROWTH AND POPULATION
None of the CSAs keep population statistics. An inventory prepared by LAFCO in 1998 lists
the populations shown on the following table for the areas served by each CSA. As can be
surmised by the table, all but two CSAs have populations in the range of 54 – 245 persons.
The remaining two CSAs cover the town of Castroville and nearby Oak Hills subdivision.
CSA #14, which provides multiple services for Castroville and the Moro Cojo subdivision
area, has an estimated population of 7,347. CSA # 45, which is limited to street lighting,
storm drainage and open space maintenance in Oak Hills, has approximately 1,364
persons.

CSA #69—Ralph Lane and Monterra Ranch 89
CSA #100—Consolidated Sewer Service for 5 Not available
Subdivisions
3. FINANCING OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS
Each of the CSAs has their own independent budget, which is managed by the County
Public Works Department. Revenues include service fees, property taxes, interest on pooled
investments and subvention payments from the State. Service fees are charged to each
customer or property owner within the CSA for the services provided by the CSA. Most
CSAs also have revenues from property taxes that are assessed to each property owner
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 156
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
within the CSA. A portion of these revenues are invested by the County Auditor into
conservative stock and bond funds that accrue interest on the amount invested. Annual
interest payments provide a fluctuating revenue source for most of the CSA budgets. The
final revenue category is the payment of subvention funds by the State to compensate for
revenue that would otherwise be lost as a result of State law. One example, is the payment
to compensate for the homeowners’ deduction on property tax payments to the County.
Revenues for each CSA are shown in the tables below. Interest on investments and
subvention payments are included in the revenue category labeled “Interest/Other”.
Expenditures vary from year to year depending upon the needs of the CSA and the
availability of Public Works staff to carryout the activities required for the expenditure.
Expenditures are usually for routine maintenance, payments for utility service to power
pump stations and similar facilities and capital improvements. According to Public Works
staff, expenditures will typically not equal revenues on an annual basis, but rather the
budgets are managed to equalize revenues and expenditures over the longer term of 5–10
year periods. This type of budget management is especially important for the smaller CSAs
that collect relatively small amounts of annual revenues. By limiting major expenditures to
once during a over 3–6 year period, enough revenue can be collected and placed in reserve
to allow adequate funds for major expenditures when they are needed for capital outlays
and similar projects. Public Works staff states that budgets of the various CSAs are never
commingled. Each budget is audited annually during the County’s regular end of fiscal year
audit. A detailed audit of each CSA’s budget to verify this type of budget management has
not resulted in some CSAs subsidizing other CSAs by transferring funds between budgets is
beyond the scope of this report. It is assumed that this is one of the many items evaluated
during the County’s annual audit.
The tables below provide the revenue and expenditure amounts for each CSA during the
last three fiscal years. The tables have been updated to reflect more recent information
provided by the Public Works Department. CSA #14 has the largest budget of the North
County CSAs. The table showing its budget is more detailed than the tables for the other
CSA budgets.

4. COST AVOIDANCE AND RATE RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITIES
The Board of Supervisors establishes service rates for the CSAs based on recommendations
of the County Public Works Department. Rates are established according to the geographic
zone they are located in and the type of services provided by the CSA. Service rates were
last updated in January 2001.
5. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SHARED FACILITIES
All CSAs rely on the staff and the resources of the County Public Works Department for
management and maintenance services. The Public Works Department provides various
resources in the areas of trained staff, office technology and maintenance equipment that
most of the CSAs would not be able to have individually due to their relatively small size.
CSA #14 (Castroville) utilizes the services of the Monterey Regional Wastewater Treatment
Plant in Marina to treat and dispose of the wastewater collected by the CSA. In addition,
CSA #14 contracts with Pacific Gas and Electric to provide all street lighting services and
contracts with the North County Recreation and Park District to provide all recreation
services. PG and E also provides street lighting services under contract for CSA #26 (New
Moss Landing Heights), CSA #32 (Green Valley and Moon subdivision), CSA #35 (Rancho
Borromeo and Paradise Park) and CSA #45 (Oak Hills). The maintenance of common open
space areas in CSA #45 is provided by the County Parks Department because this
department is better equipped to perform landscape maintenance than the Public Works
Department. A portion of CSA #45 funds are transferred to the Parks Department budget to
pay for this service.
6. GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE OPTIONS
All CSAs are governed by the County Board of Supervisors. CSAs act as an extension of
County government to provide services that would not normally be provided without the
establishment of a CSA. The Board adopts policies and establishes rates for the CSAs on an
as-needed basis during the regular Board of Supervisors meetings. As an extension of
County government, the Board of Supervisors is the appropriate decision-making authority.
County Public Works is interested in divesting itself from sanitation services. If this position
is adopted by the Board of Supervisors, CSA #14 would be reorganized into its own service
district or consolidated with an existing service district. Alternatively, the functions of CSA
#14 could be privatized if the County approves purchase and operation of CSA facilities by
a private company. Regarding reorganization to another public entity, the most likely
service district to take over management of the CSA would be the Castroville Water District
by consolidating with it. This consolidation could take two forms. One scenario would be
that only the Castroville portion of the CSA is consolidated with the Water District as these
boundaries are nearly equal. The new district would be a Community Services District. The
discontiguous Moro Cojo subdivision portion of the CSA could be reorganized and
consolidated with CSA #45 (Oak Hills). The other scenario would be to consolidate both
portions of CSA with the Water District. This would require expansion of the Water
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 161
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
District’s boundaries to include the Moro Cojo area and reorganization of the area into a
Community Services District.
7. EVALUATION OF MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCIES
All of the CSAs are managed by the County of Monterey Public Works Department.
Management activities include preparation and oversight of each CSA budget, management
of the operations within each CSA, planning for future needs, communications with
residents by the each CSA and routine maintenance activities. Major construction projects,
when they occur, are performed through contracts with appropriate design and construction
firms. Public Works does not assign staff specifically to each CSA, but rather utilizes its
general staff in the Operations Division to provide management and maintenance services
as needed. Staff utilizes a modern computer technology system that is integrated with the
overall County computer system. Maintenance operations are carried out using the
equipment and vehicles assigned to the Public Works Department for County service
purposes.
Training sessions are provided for Public Works staff in the Operations Division, but not on
a regularly scheduled basis. Training occurs occasionally in the areas of contract
management, drainage maintenance and wastewater collection services.
Each CSA budget is audited annually as part of the general County government audit. Public
Works is presently investigating alternative management strategies for CSA #14 and has
contracted with Bartle-Wells to prepare a business plan that will be analyzing alternative
management options for that CSA. As discussed in section 6 above, one idea being
considered is terminating Public Works staffing for CSAs that provide sanitation services. In
North County this would only affect CSA #14 (Castroville).
8. LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND GOVERNANCE
Primarily due to its size and multiple functions, CSA #14 (Castroville) has an advisory
committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors that meets on an irregular basis to discuss
CSA issues with Public Works staff. CSA #45 (Oak Hills), which is the second largest CSA
in North County, also has an advisory committee. It was not staffed by the Public Works
Department for several years due to fiscal constraints. However, staffing support for the
advisory committee recommenced during the summer of 2003. Other CSAs do not have a
formal communication interface with Public Works. Concerns and issues are communicated
to Public Works by contacting the staff by phone in the same manner as is done by the
general public. Residents can also contact members of the County Board of Supervisors
regarding their concerns; however, Board members typically only become involved with
major service issues that are of interest to a large number of residents. Public participation is
typically less frequent than would occur in a service district.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 162
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
SUMMARY AND DETERMINATIONS
1. There are 13 CSAs in North County all of which were formed beginning in 1962. All
but one CSA provide limited municipal services to residential areas and most of these
residential enclaves are surrounded by rural land. CSA #14 (Castroville) is the
exception. It provides four types of services for an urban area that contains commercial
and industrial uses, as well as a nearby 415 acre area that include the Moro Cojo
subdivision and North Monterey County High School. CSA #14 is also unique in that an
advisory committee has been appointed by the Board of Supervisors to discuss service
issues with County staff. As a result, this CSA has qualities similar to a service district.
2. The estimated populations served by 11 of the CSAs are 54–245 persons. The other two
CSAs serve the town of Castroville, the Moro Cojo area and the nearby Oak Hills
subdivision. CSA #14 serves Castroville and the Moro Cojo area and has an estimated
population of 7,347 persons. CSA #45 serves Oak Hills and has an estimated
population of 1,364 persons.
3. All management and maintenance services for all the CSAs are provided by staff of the
County Public Works Department, Operations Division with the following exceptions:
a. Wastewater treatment and disposal for CSA #14 is provided by the Monterey
Regional Water Pollution Control Agency at the regional treatment plant located
near Marina.
b. Recreational services for CSA #14 are provided by contracting with the North
County Recreation and Park District. The Recreation District owns several parks and
a recreation center in Castroville. CSA #14 does not own any recreational facilities.
c. Open space maintenance services for CSA #45 are provided by the County Parks
Department.
d. Street lighting services for the four CSAs that include this service is provided through
contracting with Pacific Gas ands Electric Company. All lighting facilities are owned
by PG and E.
4. Most CSAs were formed to provide limited services. One CSA was formed solely for the
purpose of providing street lighting—CSA #26 (New Moss Landing Heights). Three
other CSAs also provide street lighting along with one or two other services. They are
CSA #32 (Green Valley and Moon subdivision), CSA #35 (Rancho Borromeo and
Paradise Park), and CSA # 45 (Oak Hills). Five CSAs provide only storm drainage
maintenance. They are CSA #21 (Aromas Hill subdivision), CSA # 37 (Colonial Oaks
Estates), CSA# 38 (Paradise Park Estates), CSA # 54 (Manzanita and Sarsi subdivisions)
and CSA #68 (Vierra Canyon Knolls)
5. The geographic areas of several CSAs are not contiguous but can serve 2 or 3 areas that
are not physically connected.
6. The Las Lomas portion of the CSA #66 does not provide any services nor does it collect
revenues or have a budget.
LAFCO of Monterey County Page 163
North Monterey County MSR February 2006
7. Public Works budgetary management for these CSAs includes collecting revenues for
multiple years before making any substantial expenditures. According to Public Works
staff, this is necessary because many of the CSAs do not provide enough annual revenue
to fund sizable improvements without relying on revenues saved from past years. An
audit comparing revenues with expenditures over a multiple year period would be
necessary to verify if this technique is providing each CSA with expenditures that are
commensurate with their revenues. However, it is assumed that this issue is evaluated
during the County’s annual end of fiscal year audit process.
8. Public Works is currently investigating management options for some of its CSAs. This
includes divesting itself from all sanitation services. If this occurs, it would affect CSA
#14, which is the only North County CSA that provides wastewater collection services.
If Public Works relinquishes management of the sanitation services it now provides, this
will require that CSA #14 be reorganized into a service district or that its sanitation
services become privatized or that be managed by another public agency. The Public
Works Department is recommending that the Monterey Regional Water Pollution
Control Agency assumes management of CSA #14.

APPENDIX
PRIVATE WATER SYSTEMS
Since release of the Draft MSR for North County, the LAFCO Commission requested new
information that inventories the private water systems operating in North County for
inclusion in the Revised Draft document. This Appendix of the Revised Draft MSR provides
that information. This information was obtained from the County of Monterey Health
Department, Division of Environmental Health.
The table on the following pages provides basic information for each private water system.
The table columns show the name of the water system, number of connections, contact
person, the phone number of the contact person and the contact person’s address. Many of
the contact persons are people who live in the small neighborhood being served by the
water system. As can be surmised by this information, small private water systems provide
a significant source of water for North County residents.
The private water systems range in size from 2–134 connections. The largest of the private
systems are listed below.
• Monterey Dunes Colony Water System (WS) – 134 connections with the Monterey
Dunes beach community on the coast
