NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Directors of the Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District (“District”) adopted Resolution No. 2026-09 at its meeting on May 6, 2026, to initiate proceedings to fix, adjust, levy and collect a water standby charge in accordance with Section 61124(a) of the California Government Code and the applicable provisions of the Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act, California Government Code Section 54984 et seq. (“the Act”).  The Resolution is on file and available for inspection and copying at the District office located at 4176 Warbler Road, Phelan, California, and online at https://www.pphcsd.org.

The standby charge proposed to be adopted by the Board of Directors is based upon the report of a qualified engineer, IB Consulting, Inc., which is also on file and available for inspection and copying at the District's office located at the above address.  No change in the amount of the standby charge, or the methodology used to calculate said charge, that was levied by the District in 2025/2026 is being proposed for 2026/2027.

Before taking final action on the proposed standby charge, the Board of Directors will hold a public hearing at a meeting of the District’s Board of Directors scheduled for July 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.  The District will hold this meeting of its Board both in-person at the Phelan Community Center located at 4128 Warbler Road, Phelan, California, and via teleconference or video conference through the remote instructions located on the District’s website. Members of the public are encouraged to visit the District’s website at http://www.pphcsd.org or call the District office at (760) 868-1212 to access the meeting link, and for updates regarding the manner in which this hearing will be conducted.

Any landowner desiring to protest the proposed standby charge as described in Resolution No. 2026-09 may file a written protest with the District.  Each protest must contain a description of the land owned (this can be done by including the Assessor Parcel Number) and be signed by the owner of the property as shown on the last equalized tax roll of the County of San Bernardino.  All protests must be received by the District no later than the close of the public hearing on July 29, 2026. At the public hearing, the Board of Directors will hear public testimony and protests and consider taking final action on whether or not to adopt the standby charge.

Protests may be made by sending them to the District Clerk, Phelan Piñon Hills Community Services District, at 4176 Warbler Road, Phelan, California 92371 or P.O. Box 294049, Phelan, California 92329-4049.  Mailed protests must be received by the District prior to the close of the public hearing on July 29, 2026.  The Board may be precluded from adopting the standby charge as proposed if the number of written protests received by the District prior to the close of the public hearing represents the designated proportion of parcels subject to the proposed assessment set forth under applicable law.

If you have any questions regarding the proposed standby charge or would like additional information, please contact District staff at (760) 868-1212 during regular business hours.
