Proposition 218 Compliance As noted above, the proposed assessments fund geologic monitoring and related maintenance services that provide a special benefit to the properties within the GHADs, but do not benefit the public at large. In addition, the GHADs were formed by consent of all original property owners (the developers). Since these criteria have been satisfied, the GHAD assessments can be increased by an amount not to exceed the ENR index without being subject to a Proposition 218 vote of property owners. DISCUSSION At the May 19, 2020, Board of Directors meeting, the Board adopted a resolution declaring an intention to order the cost of maintenance be assessed against the property owners within each of the GHADs for FY 2020/21. As required by each GHAD. the Board of Directors must levy an annual assessment on all parcels (including any City's parcels) benefited by the GHAD. At the assessment hearing, the Board shall hear and consider all protests and make modifications, if determined necessary, to the proposed assessments. After the close of the public hearing, the Board shall confirm the assessments as submitted by the General Manager or otherwise determined, and order that the amount of each assessment be levied against all parcels within each GHAD. If the assessments are ordered, the City Clerk will record the Notice of Assessments with the Alameda County Tax Collector as provided in California Streets and Highways Code §3114.
