RESOLUTION NO. 98! 378
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE ENGINEER'S REPORT AND FIXING A PUBLIC HEARING
TO CONSIDER LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT FOR ADDITIONAL PARCELS TO BE
ANNEXED TO COUNTYWIDE L-100 LIGHTING DISTRICT
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County FINDS THAT:
1. The County is currently processing Subdivision 7387 (the "Development") consisting of one 28
parcels, more specifically described in Exhibit A.
2. On June 17, 1998 the applicant for the Development submitted a request to the Department of
Public Works for inclusion of the Development into County Service Area L-100 (CSA L-1003). The
County intends to initiate proceedings to annex the Development into CSA L-100 pursuant to that
request.
3. Once the Development is annexed into CSA L-100, the parcels within it will receive a special benefit
over and above that received by the general public in the form of lighting services. This service is a
"miscellaneous extended service" (the "Extended Service") as defined in Article 1012-2.406 of the
Contra Costa County Code.
4. In order to fund the Extended Service that will be provided to the parcels within the Development,
it will be necessary to levy a service charge (the "Assessment"). The service charge meets the
requirements of an "assessment" under Article XIIID of the California Constitution because it is
conferred to provide the special benefit, defined above, on the parcels within the development.
5. A copy of the "Addendum to the Final Engineer's Report to the Board of Supervisors for
Establishing A Street Light Service Charge for Fiscal Year 1997/98 (the "Engineer's Report") is
attached as Exhibit B. The Engineer's Report meets the requirements of a tentative report under
Article 1012-2.602 of the Contra Costa County Code. The Engineer's Report includes: a description
of each parcel of real property receiving the Extended Service, the Assessment Diagram, the total
Assessment chargeable to the entire service area; the estimated Assessment chargeable to each
parcel, the calculations supporting the Assessment, and the duration of the Assessment.
6. The Board has adopted the Engineer's Report for the Countywide Street Light Program on July 15,
1997. Based on its review of the Engineer's Report, the Board finds that:
(a)The Extended Service financed by the Assessment will directly benefit the parcels within the development
(b)The cost of the Assessment on each parcel within the Development is proportional to the benefits that the
Extended Service will confer on each parcel.

Now, Therefore The Board Of Supervisors ORDERS AND RESOLVES As Follows:
1. The board will conduct a public hearing (the "Hearing") on September 1, 1998 at 11:40 a.m. in
Room 107 of the Board of Supervisors' Chambers, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, California 94553.
2. The Board directs the Clerk of the Board to immediately provide the Public Works Director of Contra
Costa County with a copy of this resolution. The Board directs the Public Works Director to mail the
written notice of the Hearing (the "Ballot Notice") attached as Exhibit C to the record owners of each
parcel within the development. The ballot attached as Exhibit D shall be attached to the Ballot Notice.
A copy of the Engineer's Report is on File with the Public Works Department.
3. Immediately before the Hearing the Public Works Department shall tabulate the Ballots. At the
Hearing, the Board shall consider any objections or protests to the Assessment and certify the
tabulation of the Ballots. The Board shall not impose the Assessment if there is a majority protest.
A majority protests exists if, upon conclusion of the Hearing, Ballots submitted in opposition to the
Assessment exceed the Ballots submitted in favor of the Assessment. In tabulating the Ballots, the
Ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property.
4. If there is no Majority Protest, the Board may adopt a resolution which: confirms the Engineer's
Report; levies the Assessment in the Engineer's Report; finds that the Director of the Contra Costa
County Public Works Department, acting as the designated director, has concluded that the Engineer's
Report conforms to the official assessment roll for the year in which the assessment will be collected
and, therefore, constitutes the Final Report for the Assessment; confirms the Final Report; and levies
the Assessment for the Fiscal year referred to in the Engineer's Report.
