IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 19 AND ANNEXATION TO IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 22 AND
THE RESULTING IMPACT ON FEES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN the Otay Water District (the “District”) will hold a Public Hearing on September 4, 2013
at 3:30 p.m. in the Board of Directors Meeting Room, 2554 Sweetwater Springs Blvd., Spring Valley, CA 91978, to
consider the exclusion of territory from Improvement District 19 (ID‐19) and annexation to Improvement District 22
(ID‐22), and the resulting impact of fees.
Fees for the two improvement districts are identical and are show below. Annexing ID‐19 to ID‐22 would improve
the efficiency of accounting and administration currently required by the two districts. The exclusion of territory
from ID‐19 and annexation to ID‐22 will not affect water rates or fees.
As the record owner or customer of record of a property identified to be subject to the exclusion of territory from
ID‐19 and annexation to ID‐22, you may submit a written protest against the proposed action. Provided, however, if
the identified property has more than one record owner and/or customer of record, only one written protest will be
counted. Each protest must be in writing; state that the specific action (exclusion of territory from ID‐19 and
annexation to ID‐22) for which the protest is being submitted in opposition; provide the location of the identified
property (by assessor’s parcel number or street address); and include the original signature of the record owner or
customer of record submitting the protest. Protests submitted by e‐mail, facsimile, or other electronic means will
not be accepted. Written protests may be submitted by mail to the Board Secretary, Otay Water District, at 2554
Sweetwater Springs Blvd., Spring Valley, CA 91978, or in person at the public hearing, so long as they are received
prior to the conclusion of the public hearing.
Please identify on the front of the envelope for any protest, whether mailed or submitted in person to the Board
Secretary, that the enclosed letter is for the Public Hearing on the Exclusion of Territory from of Improvement
District 19 and annexation to Improvement District 22.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board of Directors will consider adopting the proposed exclusion and
annexation. If adopted, the property annexed to ID‐22 shall be subject to a fee as shown in the table above, identical
to the fee previously charged for ID‐19. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless
accompanied by a written protest. If, at the close of the public hearing, written protests against the proposed
exclusion and annexation are not presented by a majority of the record owners or customers of record of the
identified properties affected by the proposed action, the Board of Directors will be authorized to adopt the
proposed exclusion and annexation.
This notice is being provided to you by the District pursuant to the California Constitution Article XIIID (collectively
know as “Proposition 218”). Under terms of Proposition 218, the District is required to notify the record owner or
customer of record of proposed changes to property‐related services. This letter serves as a 45‐day notice that the
District will hold a public hearing to consider exclusion of territory from ID‐19 and annexation to ID‐22.
