The County is currently processing LP012061 (the"Development") consisting of 3 parcels,more specifically described in Exhibit A. The ultimate number of parcels to be created from this development will be 3 parcels. 2. On November 4, 2002 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-100). 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 2002/2003 (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. I hereby certify that this is a true and comet copy of an action taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on the date shown.

The Board has adopted the Engineer's Report for the Countywide Street Light Program on July 9, 2002. 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 February 11, 2003 at 9:30 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 protest 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.

On July 9, 2002, as an attachment to Resolution 02/425, the Board of Supervisors adopted the"Final Engineer's Report to the Board of Supervisors for establishing a Street Lighting Service Charge for Fiscal Year 2002,/2003". That report recommends levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the County Service Area Laws; Government Code sections 25210.1, and following and in accordance with Ordinance No. 79-42, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 27, 1979. This addendum supplements that report by providing support for levying such an assessment on the parcels described in Exhibit A after they are annexed into County Service Area L-100 ("CSA L-100"). Toted Assessment/ Charge On CSA L-100 In thy;event that the proposed assessment is levied, the total amount chargeable to CSA L-100 will be $74.70 per parcel. Asse>isment on Each Parcel Each parcel described by Exhibit A shall be assessed$74.70 in Fiscal Year 2004/05. Meth odolou for Calculating Street Lighting Assessments The 'benefit received" is based on a sliding scale of i basic unit charge for a single family dwelling unit to as much as 8 basic unit charges for a large apartment complex. The service charge for each County Service Area is bred upon several factors such as (1) cost required to pay the Pacific Gas & Electric Company's current monthly electrical bill, (2) the number and types of parcels within each Service Area; (3) a reserve fund for Adrnhistrative and Accounting services provided by the County and; (4)unforeseen expenses such as electrical rate iicreases. The assessment revenue is used to pay for the total costs of operating the street light system and those costs are apportioned among the various parcels in the County Service Area(CSA)L-100 Lighting District.

Financial Impact: There will be no financial impact to the County General Fund. All costs will be covered with revenue from the Countywide Street Light District, CSA L-100. III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: The developer is required by Condition of Approval to install street lighting fixtures and annex to the County's street light program, CSA L-100, for continued maintenance and operation of those fixtures. Proposition 218 provides that any new assessment may not be approved if it is opposed by a majority of the property owners voting on the proposed assessment. The Board Order and Resolution complies with the requirements for new assessments under Proposition 218. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: This project will not be in compliance with the Conditions of Approval for LPO 12061, and an alternative means to finance public right of way street lighting would have to be found.
