BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) purchased property across Ellis Avenue from the existing Plant No. 1 facilities. These formerly commercial properties will be demolished to make room for a new Administration Building for the Sanitation District. This change in land use reduces the revenue that would have gone to the City of Fountain Valley. The City of Fountain Valley will provide services to the Sanitation District such as police and fire services.
The City of Fountain Valley wishes to discuss a payment in lieu of property taxes with the Sanitation District for these parcels used for the Administration Building. The City Manager, Rob Houston, will address the Headquarters Complex Ad Hoc Committee to request consideration in this matter. A Memorandum from the City of Fountain Valley is attached.
The Sanitation District and City of Fountain Valley staff have discussed the issue and have differing views. The City of Fountain Valley’s views are summarized in the attached Memorandum and will be presented at the meeting.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities
• Make it easy for people to understand OCSD’s roles and value to the community
