The following fees are charged by the County and are subject to change:
- The County Department of Public Works will charge for specific work requested by the CSA, including managing bids, field consultations, engineering estimates, and any requested research. These charges will be for actual time worked at the current hourly rate of the staff involved.
- The Auditor/Controller charges one-half of one percent of the gross revenue received by the CSA with a minimum charge of $125 and a maximum of $500 annually.
- Auditor/Controller charges 1 percent of benefit assessment revenue collected to cover collection efforts.
- Public Works currently charges 12 percent of the amount actually spent by the CSA to cover departmental overhead. These rates are set annually due to current costs. Please contact Program Administration to confirm current costs.
- In addition, a division overhead rate is charged when services such as Engineering, Survey or Road Maintenance crews are provided directly by Public Works. The current Division overhead rates range from 9 to 41 percent. If the work is contracted to a private company, this overhead charge does not apply. These rates are set annually due to current costs. Please contact Program Administration to confirm currrent costs.
- Annually, each service area will be charged their prorated share of costs involved in updating and maintaining the computerized service charge system.
