E-10
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ROBERT DELGADILLO, P.E., DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER
DATE: FEBRUARY 22, 2022
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ANNEXATION TO THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES CONSOLIDATED SEWER MAINTENANCE DISTRICT (LACSMD) THE
PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 483-495 S CITRUS AVE FOR SEWER
MAINTENANCE PURPOSE ONLY.
BACKGROUND:
The property located at 483-495 S Citrus Ave is a commercial property composed of seven individual
retail spaces. All sewage from the retail spaces is collected in a private sewer system that connects to a
public sewer main on Citrus Ave. The property manager stated that due to the shallow slope of the
existing private sewer, they have experienced sewage backups and clogging problems over the past
several years. The property owner has been advised by his civil engineer that one way to mitigate the
clogging problems is to rebuild the private sewer with a steeper slope. Furthermore, the property owner
was advised that the slope of the private sewer can be improved by shortening its length. Consequently,
the property manager reached out to the Engineering Division to seek permission to rebuild the existing
private sewer and connect to an adjacent sewer main on Gladstone Street. The proposed design would
shorten the length of the private sewer and improve its slope; however, the sewer main on Gladstone
Street is owned and maintained by Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD). The LACSD
requires permission from the City of Azusa prior to allowing the property owner to connect to their
facility.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1) Approve Resolution No. 2022-C13 granting consent and jurisdiction to the County of Los
Angeles for the inclusion of the properties located at 483-495 S Citrus Ave for sewer
maintenance purposes only.
ANALYSIS:
APPROVED

Authorization to Annex Property to LA County CSMD
February 22, 2022
Page 2
The location of the subject property is unique because the properties immediately to the north and to the
west are not within the City limits, they are within the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. The
agency in charge of the maintenance of all sewer mains within Los Angeles County is the Los Angeles
County Sanitation District (LACSD). The subject property is currently served by an 8-inch sewer main
on Citrus Ave. This sewer main is owned and maintained by the City of Azusa. The LACSD owns and
maintains an 8-inch sewer main on Gladstone Street. The property owner would like to construct a new
sewer lateral and connect to the sewer main on Gladstone Street.
The City of Azusa collects sewer fees for this property. However, the annexation of the subject property
to the LACSD will not have a perceivable impact on the revenues generated by the sewer charges. In
addition, the unique location of the subject property makes this annexation a single occurrence with a
minimal chance for other properties owners to duplicate.
The LACSD has indicated that the City of Azusa must adopt the attached resolution before the County
of Los Angeles can proceed with the proposed annexation for the purpose of sewer maintenance
purposes only.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Funds and property tax. Annexation of the subject
property to the LACSD will not result in an exchange of property tax revenue pursuant to Section 99 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code. Staff anticipates there will be a minor reduction of sewer funds.
