The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County FINDS THAT: 1. The County is currently processing SUB 8002 (the "Development") consisting of 1 parcel(s), more specifically described in Exhibit A. 2. On February 4, 2000 the applicant for the Development submitted a request to the Department of Public Works for inclusion of the Development into Countywide Landscaping District(LL-2)Zone 68. The County intends to initiate proceedings to annex the Development into Countywide Landscaping District(LL-2)Zone 68 pursuant to that request. 3. Once the Development is annexed into Countywide Landscaping District(LL-2)Zone 68,the parcels within it will receive a Special Benefit over and above that received by the general public in the form of landscape improvements as defined in Section 22503 of the Streets and Highways Code and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. 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") on each such parcel. 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 amended Engineer's Report to the Board of Supervisors for Establishing Countywide Landscaping District(LL-2)Zone 68 for Fiscal Year 1999/2000 is attached as Exhibit B. The Engineer's Report meets the requirements of a report under Article 4-Sections 22565 through 22573. The Engineer's Report includes: a description of each parcel of real property receiving the special benefit, the estimated Assessment chargeable to each parcel,the total Assessment chargeable to Zone 68 from the parcels within the Development; the methodology supporting the assessment, and the duration of the Assessment. 6. Based upon its review of the Engineer's Report,The Board finds that: (a) The Special Benefit 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 Special Benefit will confer on each parcel. Resolution No. 2000/276 Now, therefore the Board Of Supervisors ORDERS AND RESOLVES as follows: 1. The board will conduct a public hearing(the"Hearing")on July 11, 2000 at 9:00 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. The Board directs the Public Works Director to make immediately available for viewing to the public at the office of the Public Works Department, 255 Glacier Drive, Martinez, California, a copy of the Engineer's Report. 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. 1 hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
