SUMMARY: <br /> <br />A Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) is a property assessment <br />district that is used to pay for any landslide repairs and related geologic <br />and storm drainage maintenance and repair work within the district. The <br />City has formed four GHADs: Oak Tree Farm, Moller Ranch, Laurel <br />Creek Estates (The Preserve, Oak Hill Estates and Kolb Ranch Estates) <br />and Lemoine Ranch Estates. All are located on the west side of Foothill <br />Road and are in areas that require annual monitoring and maintenance of <br />geologic features. <br /> <br />The action tonight has the City Council (sitting as the Board of Directors <br />of the GHADs) ordering that the cost and expenses of maintaining and <br />operating the GHAD improvements for Oak Tree Farm, Moller Ranch, <br />Laurel Creek Estates (The Preserve, Oak Hill Estates and Kolb Ranch <br />Estates) and Lemoine Ranch Estates be assessed against the individual <br />properties within the Districts for the fiscal year 2005-2006. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />At the meeting of May 17, 2005, the City Council approved the Engineer's Report relating to <br />each respective assessment district and scheduled a public hearing per the requirements of the <br />Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD). <br /> <br />GHAD - Purposes and Description <br /> <br />Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs) are districts formed specifically to address <br />geologic concerns. A GHAD may be formed for the purpose of prevention, mitigation, <br />abatement or control of a geologic hazard; also for mitigation or abatement of structural <br />hazards that are partly or wholly caused by geologic hazards. A "geologic hazard" is broadly <br />defined as an actual or threatened landslide, land subsidence, soil erosion, or any other natural <br />or unnatural movement of land or earth. However, damage that is the result of an earthquake <br />or fault movement is specifically exempted from coverage by the GHAD, in part because the <br />assessments to include protection from land movement due to earthquake would be <br />prohibitively high. Accordingly, residents should not consider the existence of a GHAD as a <br />substitute for earthquake insurance. <br /> <br />To the extent open space, including City-owned open space, is included in GHAD boundaries, <br />the GHAD would only respond to geologic hazards in the open space that are threatening <br />improvements benefiting the private property owners paying the assessments. Therefore, the <br />GHAD would not respond to a landslide in the middle of an open space area that is not a <br />SR:05:171 <br />Page 2 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
