MAKE ACQUISITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS
ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 1982°1
(SOUTH TAHOE "Y" WATER IMPROVEMENTS)
RESOLVED, by the Board of Directors of the South Tahoe Public Utility
District, County of E1 Dorado, California, that the public interest, convenience
and necessity require, and that it intends to order the making of the acquisitions
and improvements described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof.
1. Except as herein otherwise provided for the issuance of bonds, all of
said work shall be done as provided in the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913.
2. All of said work and improvements are to be constructed at the places
and in the particular locations, of the forms, sizes, dimensions and materials, and
at the lines, grades and elevations, as shown and delineated upon the plans,
;profiles and specifications to be made therefor, as hereinafter provided. There is
to be excepted from the work above described any of such work already done to line
and grade and marked excepted or shown not to be done on said plans, profiles and
specifications. Whenever any public way is herein referred to as running between
two public ways, or from or to any public way, the intersections of the public ways
referred to are included to the extent that work is shown on said plans to be done
therein. Said streets and highways are or will be more particularly shown in the
records in the office of the County Recorder of the County of E1 Dorado, State of
California, and shall be shown upon said plans.
3. Notice is hereby given of the fact that in many cases said work and
improvements will bring the finished work to a grade different from that formerly
existing, and that to said extent said grades are hereby changed and that said work
will be done to said changed grades.
4. In cases where there is any disparity in level or size between the
improvements proposed to be made herein and private property and where it is more
economical to eliminate such disparity by work on said private property than by
adjustment of the work on public property, it is hereby determined that it is in the
public interest and more economical to do such work on private property to
eliminate such disparity. In such cases, said work on private property shall, with
the written consent of the owner of said property, be done and the actual cost
thereof may be added to the proposed assessment of the lot on which said work is to
be done.
5. This Board does hereby adopt and establish as the official grades for
said work the grades and elevations to be shown upon said plans, profiles and
specifications. All such grades and elevations are to be in feet and decimals
thereof with reference to the datum plane of this District.
6. The descriptions of the acquisitions and improvements and the termini
of the work contained in this Resolution are general in nature. All items of work
do not necessarily extend for the full length of the description thereof. The
plans and profiles of the work and maps and descriptions as contained in the
Engineer's Report, hereinafter directed to be made and filed, shall be controlling
as to the correct and detailed description thereof.
7. Said contemplated acquisitions and improvements, in the opinion of
this Board, are of more than local or ordinary public benefit, and the costs and
expenses thereof are made chargeable upon an assessment district, the exterior
boundaries of which are shown on a map thereof on file in the office of the
Secretary of the Board of Directors, to which reference is hereby made for further
2
particulars. Said map indicates by a boundary line the extent of the territory
y.. included in the proposed district and shall govern for all details as to the extent
of the assessment district.
8. This Board declares that all public streets, highways, lanes and alleys
within said assessment district in use in the performance of a public function, and
all lands owned by any public entity, including the United States and the State of
California, or any departments thereof, shall be omitted from the assessment
hereafter to be made to cover the costs and expenses of said acquisitions and
improvements.
9. Said acquisitions and improvements are hereby referred to William F.

by this District for the purpose hereof, and said Engineer of Work is hereby

district in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by such
subdivisions, respectively, from said acquisitions and improvements. Said
assessment shall refer to said subdivisions by their respective numbers as assigned
pursuant to subparagraph (d) of this paragraph.
When any portion or percentage of the costs and expenses of said
acquisitions and improvements is to be paid from sources other than assessments,
the amount of such portion or percentage shall first be deducted from the total
estimated cost and expenses of said acquisitions and improvements, and said
assessment shall include only the remainder of the estimated cost and expenses,
10.' If any excess shall be realized from the assessment it shall be used,
in such amounts as this Board may determine, in accordance with the provisions of
law, for one or more of the following purposes:
(a) Transfer to the general fund of this District, provided that the
amount of any such transfer shalt not exceed the lesser of $1,000 or 5% of the total
