BILL NUMBER:  AB 2182
  VETOED	DATE: 09/30/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 2182 without my signature.

This bill would authorize public agency officials and property owners
to enter into voluntary contractual assessments to finance
installation and replacement of onsite sewer and septic improvements
on private property. These improvements may consist of converting an
existing property from a septic system to a public sewer collection
system, replacement of sewer lateral lines, or replacement or upgrade
of septic tanks.

Under current law, voluntary contractual assessments provide property
owners with a cost-effective and easily accessible financing option
in which to increase their property's water and energy efficiency.

While parts of this bill have merit, I do not support expanding
contractual assessment programs to these types of property
improvements.

For this reason I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
