Memorandum
Date: August 12, 2025
To: The Honorable Eddie Crandell, Chair, Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Robin Borre, Special Districts Administrator
Subject: (Sitting as the Lake County Sanitation District, Board of Directors) Adopt Resolution revising the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget of the County of Lake by appropriating unanticipated revenue for Fund 251 in the amount of $38,000 to Budget Unit 8351, Object Code 783.23-80 to pay for prior year sewer treatment costs.
Executive Summary: (include fiscal and staffing impact narrative):
LACOSAN Lands End/ South Lakeport Sewer sends its sewer flows to the City of Lakeport Wastewater treatment plant and the City of Lakeport charges LACOSAN Lands End/ South Lakeport Sewer a proportion cost of their treatment and disposal cost quarterly.
Invoices from the City of Lakeport pertaining to sewer use in 2024 by the County (Special Districts) have exceeded the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget and additional funds are needed. The FY 24/25 estimated total revenue for Fund 251 LACOSAN Lands End/ South Lakeport Sewer was $195,327 and actual received was $233,522.61. Attached for your review is a Resolution requesting to appropriate unanticipated revenue in the amount of $38,000 to account 251-8351-783-23-80, Professional & Specialized Services to pay the final invoice for the fiscal year 2024-2025.
The current revenues are not keeping pace with the amounts billed by the City. We will be adding this district to the upcoming rate studies. We have been using reserves to make up the shortfall for at least the last five years. Since the bills from the City are based on flows they fluctuate from year to year.
Additionally, our contract with the City expires in 2026 and we will be negotiating a new contract for these flows to go to Lakeport and for some of their flows to go to Northwest.
