<br />also accept fmancial or other assistance from any public or private source and may borrow <br />funds from a local agency, and the state and federal governments. <br /> <br />A GHAD may assess landowners for operation and maintenance of improvements acquired or <br />constructed under the GHAD law. These assessments, which attach as liens on property, may <br />be collected at the same time and in the same manner as general taxes on real property. <br /> <br />Advantages of Forming a GHAD <br /> <br />GHADs are public agencies that operate locally for the sole and specific purpose of addressing <br />geologic concerns. As such, they offer several distinct advantages. <br /> <br />1. Focus on Prevention. <br /> <br />Through the development and implementation of a Plan of Control, a GHAD <br />acts to prevent damage resulting from earth movement by identifying and <br />monitoring potential geologic hazards and undertaking improvements as <br />appropriate. <br /> <br />2. Ability to Respond to Unforeseen Events. <br /> <br />When unforeseen hazards arise, GHADs, as existing agencies, are in place with <br />the technical and organizational resources and funding capability needed to <br />respond quickly and effectively. <br /> <br />3. Improved Method of Collecting Assessments. <br /> <br />GHADs are authorized to collect assessments along with the general property <br />tax. This avoids requiring separate collection by a private entity, such as a <br />homeowners' association. <br /> <br />4. Concerns Over Liability Less Likely to Discourage Needed Actions. <br /> <br />In addition, under state law (Government code sections 865 et seq.), GHADs are <br />given a degree of innnunity from liability for actions they undertake. The State <br />Legislature intended that this provision encourage local public entities to take <br />remedial action to abate earth movement. <br /> <br />SR 06:136 <br />Page 3 of32 <br />
