Summary

The County Service Area Law authorizes the county board of supervisors, acting as the governing authority of a county service area, to provide for the collection and enforcement of property-related fees and charges in the same manner that the county collects and enforces property-related fees and charges for the property-related services that the county provides. Existing law authorizes the dissolution of a county service area and allows the board to change the boundaries of a zone, or dissolve the zone, by following specified procedures. This bill would require the board, upon dissolution of a county service area or a specified zone, to post signs indicating which services and facilities are no longer provided within the zone and require the board to provide adequate maintenance to the signs. Existing law allows the board to raise revenues, as specified, whenever the amount of revenue available to the county service area is inadequate to meet the costs of operating and maintaining the services and facilities that the county service area provides. This bill would provide that the board may raise revenues, as specified, whenever the amount of revenue available to the county service area is inadequate to meet the costs of operating and maintaining the services and facilities for public streets that the county service area provides. The bill would prohibit the county and the dissolved zone from being held liable for death or injury resulting from the termination of services or facilities once the signs are posted. This bill would also provide that the county, county service area, and zones would not be responsible for a loss or injury resulting from the failure to provide maintenance of services or facilities for public streets if the board was unable to raise revenues. This bill would require the board to mail notice to an owner of property within the county service area, or zones that would no longer be able to maintain the services or facilities.
