Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCCs) Notice of Public Hearing

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT, pursuant to Government Code Section 66013, the Board of Directors of Delta Diablo (District) proposes, by Ordinance, to adjust Sewer Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCCs) to accurately reflect the proportionate cost associated with providing the necessary wastewater collection, conveyance, and treatment system infrastructure and services to support growth in the District’s service area. The District’s 2024 CFCC Study establishes the relationship between CFCCs and the nature of the use of the District’s facilities burdened by development projects. It sets forth the basis for recommended CFCC adjustments, which include assessing the same CFCC ($4,886 per equivalent residential unit [ERU]) for Wastewater Conveyance and Treatment for Bay Point, Pittsburg, and Antioch, and an additional CFCC component ($585 per ERU) for Bay Point only for Wastewater Collection costs. The City of Pittsburg and City of Antioch own and maintain their respective wastewater collection systems and assess a separate capacity charge for wastewater collection services. If approved by the Board of Directors, the adjusted CFCCs will be effective 60 days after adoption of the Ordinance and will be indexed to the Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index (CCI) for the San Francisco area to provide for annual adjustments to reflect market costs. The 2024 CFCC Study, dated November 8, 2024, is available for review by the public at the District’s office located at 2500 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, Antioch, California 94509, or on the District’s website at www.deltadiablo.org.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN THAT on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at 5:30 p.m., in the Board Room at 2500 Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, Antioch, California 94509, at the Board of Directors Meeting, said Board of Directors will hold a Public Hearing to consider approval of the proposed CFCC adjustments. After the close of the Public Hearing and consideration of all public comments, the Board of Directors will be asked to take action to adopt the Ordinance.

Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCC) Update Workshop

The Delta Diablo (District) will host workshops on the dates listed below to provide information regarding proposed adjustment to the District’s Capital Facility Capacity Charges (CFCC) which provide essential revenue to fund capital improvement associated with growth in the service area.

In addition to the workshops, the Delta Diablo Board of Directors will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, (contingent upon Board approval on November 6, 2024) to formally consider the proposed adjustments to the CFCCs.

Delta Diablo (District) periodically prepares reports containing financial information. The following financial reports are available.

Audited Financials

In the years that a ACFR (Annual Comprehensive Financial Report) was not produced, a set of Audited Basic Financial Statements would be published instead.  Audited Basic Financial Statements are comprised of several components: (1) Fund Financial Statements; (2) Notes to the Financial Statements; (3) an independent Auditor’s Report; and, (4) Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The Report also contains required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements. The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) combines the Audited Basic Financial Statements with unaudited introductory and statistical sections.

Capital Facilities Capacity Charges

Delta Diablo (District) collects Capital Facilities Capacity Charges (CFCCs) for new connections to its wastewater system. In 1987, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600), adding Section 66000, et seq., to the California Government Code (GC), collectively known as the Mitigation Fee Act. GC Section 66013 guides fees imposed for sewer connections to a public sewer system or capacity charges. In compliance with GC Section 66013(c), the District accounts for all CFCCs in a separate fund to avoid blending with other District funds.  To view the report, click here:  FY23/24 Capital Facilities Capacity Charges

Government Compensation (AB2040)

California Assembly Bill 2040 (AB2040) requires salary and compensation information on elected officials, officers and employees of Delta Diablo be provided annually to California’s State Controller Office. The Controller shall then compile, publish and make publicly available on their website. To view the latest District information, click here for the Controller’s website and then click on the Special Districts link which will allow you to access our agency’s data in their search table.  

Capital Improvement Program

The FY24/25-FY28/29 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document outlines the capital projects planned for the District over a five-year period starting in FY24/25. The five-year CIP presents the project needs and financial funding requirements for the District in the areas of Wastewater Expansion, Wastewater Capital Asset, and Wastewater Capital Asset Replacement, Recycled Water Expansion, and Recycled Water Capital Asset and Recycled Water Capital Asset Replacement Facilities. 

Proposition 218 Notice

In November 1996, California voters approved the Right to Vote on Taxes Act, also known as Proposition 218. This constitutional amendment limits the methods by which local governments, including special districts such as Delta Diablo, can create or increase taxes, fees and charges without taxpayer consent. Any assessment to be imposed on property parcels within our service area, must be based on the entirety of the cost of the improvement and/or services.

State Controller’s Office – Financial Transactions Report

Government Code (GC) section 53891 requires the financial transactions of each local agency to be submitted to the State Controller’s Office (SCO) within seven months after the close of the fiscal year. The report must contain underlying data from audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, if this data is available.  To view the latest District reports, click here for the Controller’s website.
