assessments are not higher than the previous year's assessments, and that the GHADs <br /> were formed by consent of all original property owners (the developers), the current <br /> proposed assessments are not subject to a Prop. 218 vote of present property owners. <br /> Publicly Owned Parcels <br /> All benefited parcels, including the City -owned parcels (i.e., the sanitary sewer pump <br /> station parcel within Oak Tree Farms, the water reservoir parcel within Moller Ranch, <br /> and two water reservoir parcels within Laurel Creek), are considered assessable <br /> parcels, as required under Proposition 218. There are also a number of publicly owned <br /> parcels within the GHAD's that will not be assessed; since there are no improvements <br /> on these parcels, there is no derived benefit. These include the open space parcels or <br /> parking staging area (City of Pleasanton and East Bay Regional Park District). <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Declaration of Intention <br /> At the May 18, 2010, Board of Directors meeting, the Board adopted a resolution <br /> declaring an intention to order the cost of maintenance be assessed against the <br /> property owners within each of the Districts for fiscal year 2010 -11. As required by <br /> Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts, the Board of Directors must levy an annual <br /> assessment on all parcels (including the City's parcel) benefited by the GHAD. <br /> At the assessment hearing, the Board shall hear and consider all protests, and make <br /> modifications, if determined to be necessary, to the proposed assessments. After the <br /> close of the public hearing, the Board shall confirm the assessments as submitted by <br /> the General Manager, and order that the amount of each assessment be levied against <br /> each parcel within the GHAD. <br /> If the assessments are ordered, the City Clerk will record the notice of assessments <br /> with the Alameda County Tax Collector as provided in Streets and Highways Code <br /> §3114. <br /> Subsequent annual Engineer's Reports will also contain a statement of the yearly <br /> estimated budget for the maintenance and construction of improvements. This report <br /> will be submitted to the Board for review and approval, at which time, the Board will <br /> conduct a public hearing and the assessments will be levied based upon the <br /> recommendations of the report and the action taken at the public hearing. <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
