charge property owners special assessments against their property for services that are offered there. In this situation with the Oak Tree Farm subdivision, when it was established the original developer agreed to the establishment of the GHAD. As a result, on an annual basis the Council approves an assessment that is charged against each of the properties that pays for the annual monitoring of the storm drains to make sure the storm water is appropriately treated and in the event of a slide, it is taken care of. Under Proposition 218 there is the right of the property owners, if they chose to act as a majority, to request that the Council rescind the assessments that take place against the property. However, in this situation, most of the property owners understand why the GHAD is present and because of the size of the homes and the number of subdivisions, it certainly makes sense fi.om an administrative standpoint to have the City work to administer the maintenance of these various facilities, rather than have that burden placed on individual property owners. In addition, because there is some open space and open space corridors here, as well as City owned lot where the pump station is located, we also contribute to the GHAD as our fair share. Technically there is the legal right for these property owners to take an action to rescind the assessment, which is probably an unlikely situation. Proposition 218 has been in effect for several years and the City has heard of no interest from any property owners to have that kind of action taken. It was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to (1) adopt Resolution No. 01:090 Certifying the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for Oak Tree Farm - Phase 3 (Including Adoption of New Regulations Regarding Geotechulcai Setback Line); and (2) adopt Resolution No. 01:091 Approving the Repeal of the Existing Prohibitions Regarding the Geotechulcal Setback Line at Oak Tree Farm and the Adoption of New Regulations Regarding Mitigation for the Area. Mayor Pict stated that he was abstaining because he has just returned fi.om a trade mission to China, and has not had the opportunity to review the extensive technical information.
