BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
services that is provided in the unincorporated area of Walnut Creek.
Adoption of a resolution of intent to form a new tax district (Resolution No. 2015/123) is required by Government
Code Section 25217, subdivision (b), as the first step in forming the proposed zone, which will serve as the vehicle
to collect special taxes within the proposed zone if the tax measure is approved by the voters at the July 14, 2015,
ballot. The resolution includes information regarding the name and boundaries of the zone, the different level of
services to be provided, and the method by which the increased level of service is to be funded. The resolution
also directs the Clerk of the Board to publish and mail notice of a public hearing regarding the proposed zone
formation. It is recommended that the Board set this hearing for 9:00 a.m. on May 12, 2015.
If at the conclusion of that public hearing the Board determines that more than 50% of the total number of voters
residing within the proposed zone have filed written objections to the formation, Government Code Section
25217.1, subdivision (b)(1), would require the Board to determine that a majority protest exists and to terminate
the proceedings. The proposed police service district currently consist of a single 1.23-acre property owned by
Margaret Sluus, William and Joyce Ashurst, and Sarah Lombardo, who per the conditions of approval for the
subdivision are required to establish the police service district prior to recording the final map.
If there is no majority protest and the Board elects to proceed with the formation of the zone, a second public
hearing would be required to consider the approval of Ordinance No. 2015-07, pertaining to the proposed levy of a
special tax on the subject parcel within Zone1514 for police protection services and submission of the measure to
the voters, pursuant to Government Code Section 50077, subdivision (a). It is recommended that this hearing be
set at 9:00 a.m. on May 12, 2015, immediately following the hearing on the zone formation. If the Board
thereafter adopts Ordinance No. 2015-07, then the tax measure would be submitted for placement on the July 14,
2015, ballot.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve this item, Ordinance No. 2015-07 will not be adopted and formation of Special Tax
Zone 1514 will not occur, and the Special Tax District will not be established at the May 12, 2015, hearing.

Not applicable.
