A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, MAINTAINING COUNTY SERVICE AREA 152 AND
AUTHORIZING THE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT UNIT RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR
2026-27 FOR THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE TO FUND THE CITY'S
NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES)
PERMIT PROGRAM
Whereas, the County of Riverside established a Community Service Area (CSA) 152 for
the purpose of collecting parcel charges for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
("NPDES") services within its boundaries; and
Whereas, the County of Riverside annexed the City of Lake Elsinore into CSA 152 in
1994, thereby providing the City a funding source for its NPDES program activities; and
Whereas, the City has determined that the proposed CSA 152 parcel charge is a benefit
assessment; and
Whereas, the existing parcel charge is $13.88 per Benefit Assessment Unit; and
Whereas, the City desires to keep the 2026-27 parcel charge rate at $13.88 per Benefit
Assessment Unit to continue to fund the activities mandated by the Environmental Protection
Agency and State Water Resources Control Board through the NPDES Permits; and
Whereas, Section 5(a) of Article XIIID of the California Constitution states that existing
assessments on the effective date of Article XIIID imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs
or maintenance and operation expenses of flood control and drainage systems are exempt from
the provisions of Article XIIID; and
Whereas, Section 5(a) of Article XIIID of the California Constitution also states that future
increases to an exempt assessment are subject to the provisions of Article XIIID; and
Whereas, the proposed changes to the annual assessment do not exceed the maximum
assessment established in 1994 and do not constitute an increase in assessment for purposes
of Article XIIID.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct.
Section 2. That the City of Lake Elsinore continues participation in CSA 152.
Section 3. That the City of Lake Elsinore requests that the County of Riverside levy
for 2026-27 a parcel charge in the amount of $13.88 per Benefit Assessment Unit.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
