Executive Summary:

The Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water), in conjunction with the Auditor-Controller Treasurer-Tax Collector (ACTTC), is requesting approval of the Sonoma Water capital asset impairment for FY 2024-25 per ACTTC Financial Policy FA-1: Accounting for Capital Assets.

 

Discussion:

Per the requirements of Policy FA-1: Accounting for Capital Assets set forth in the Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Fiscal Policy Manual, each County Department is required to inform the Board of Directors of any losses incurred related to the impairment of a capital asset over $100,000. Sonoma Water is requesting approval to impair the following capital improvement project initiated in FY 2018/19 due to the decommissioning of the Pall System in the Airport-Larkfield-Wikiup Sanitation Zone.  As of June 2024, the Town of Windsor is responsible for collecting and treating this wastewater on a contractual basis, and the Pall System no longer needs to be operated.
