• The Water District asks the engineer to supply them with proof that a certain person has legal authority to sign for the legal owner, usually called 'vesting documents', articles of incorporation and such. The reason for this is because the Water District will be writing up what amounts to a contract between the Water District and the Owner, called the 'Agreement' that is to be notarized. This is not the Developer. The Developer does not normally have the authority to sign for the Owner who will be responsible for paying the water bills in the future.

  • “Prior to formal submittal of civil improvement plans, contact the Land Development Coordinator to schedule a pre-submittal meeting. A project leader will be assigned to your project and will be the point of contact for the civil plans to aid the developer/engineer in a successful review and timely approval of the civil design of the site. Please note that both the developer and the stamping engineer for the project must attend the pre-submittal meeting. The redlined plan sets generated at this meeting are required to be included in the submittal packet for the civil improvement plans.”
