When your development was approved, there was a requirement (condition of approval) to-annex the parcel(s) into the County Service Area (CSA) L-100 Lighting District and for an annual assessment to be imposed on every parcel in your development to pay for the cost of maintaining the street lighting within the public right of way. The passage of Proposition 218 requires a.vote on all new assessments and this is why you received this Ballot. How Much is the Assessment? The parcels are assessed a Factor of 1, derived from the Land Use Cade, based on base rate of$14.94 per Factor Unit. The total amount levied by the assessment, with regards to this development is approximately$14.94 per year(1 factor units x $14.94) Why should you Vote?` Your vote will decide if the assessment will be imposed. Only returned ballots will be counted. Will this Assessment Increase in the.Future? The Benefit Zone does not 'intend to increasethe assessment, and it cannot' be increased without another election. What does the Assessment Fund Allow? The.;assessment allows the Benefit Zone to provide and maintain street lighting within the public right of way. How was my Assessment Calculated? The total cost to provide and maintain street lighting improvements is allocated to each 'property based on estimated special benefit received. Essentially,'each single family home in the development is allocated the same assessment. An Engineer's Report detailing the method of assessment, budgets and assessments for each parcel is available for review at the Contra Costa County Department of Public Works, 255 Glacier Drive, CA, 94553-4897. Method of Voting Only returned ballots or written letters which identify the property and specify the property owners' support or opposition is counted. Mail your ballot in the self addressed postage paid envelope'or deliver it in person to the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, 255 Glacier Drive,Martinez, CA 94553'prior to March 24, 2005 or you may hand` carry your ballot to the Public Hearing on'April 26, 2005. Ballots received after the close of the Public Hearing cannot be counted. Ballots are weighted by the amount of assessment that would be paid. If a'majority of ballots returned, weighted by their assessment, is opposed' to the assessment, the assessment will not be imposed. Ballot Procedures This ballot is for the sols use of the property owner(s) of the parcel identified herein,which is located within the CSA L-100 Lighting District. The ballot maybe used to express either support for or opposition to the proposed CSA L-100 Lighting District within this development.` In order to be counted, this ballot must be signed and dated in the space provided by an owner or, if the owner is;a partnership or a corporation, by an authorized representative of the owner. 'Those'executing this ballot on behalf of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity must also indicate title or office below the identification of the property owner (e.g.,trustee, President, General Partner, etc.) If the property is awned jointly(e.g., common,joint'tenants)one or both property owners may sign the ballot. There is only one ballot for each property even though the property may have more than one owner.' If bath owners of the property vote the same, the ballet counts as one vete. If both owners vote differently,'one in support and one opposed, then the votes ;cancel' each'other out and the ballot will have a' "zero"vote. Public Hearing The hearing will be held on April 26, 2005 at 9:30 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors Chambers, County Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez,; CA 94553. Results of the 'returned ballots will be announced after the close of the public testimony portion of this meeting. At this hearing, the Board will take>> final public testimony and take action on whether or not to levy the assessments based upon the testimony and. ballots received. On July 13, 2004, as an attachment to Resolution No. 04/356, 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 2004/2005". That report recommends levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the CSA' Law,' Government Code sections 25210.1, and fallowing 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 CSA L-100. Total Assessment/Charge On CSA L-100 In the event that the proposed assessment is levied,the total amount`chargeable to CSA L-100 will be $14.94 multiplied by the number of Factor Units for that parcel. Assessment on Each Parcel Each parcel described by Exhibit A shall be assessed $14.94 per Factor Unit in Fiscal Year 2005/2006. Methodology for Calculatine Street Lighting Assessments The "benefit received" is based on a sliding scale of 1 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 CSA is based 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 Administrative and Accounting services provided'by the County and; (4)unforeseen expenses such as electrical rate increases. 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 CSA L-100 Lighting District: EXHIBIT D County Service Area L-100 Lighting DistrictAnnexation Ballot Assessor's Parcel Nos.: 166-341-019 Annexation Of: MS O4-0009 Record Owner: Sharon Zeff 17 Benthill Court Lafayette, CA 94549 Yes, I approve of the proposed'annual assessment of$14.94 on the parcel identified in this ballot.
