SUBJECT: Town of Danville Assessment District Ballot
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Authorize the County Administrator or his Designee to execute the
Property Owner Ballot in favor of the Town of Danville Street Lighting and
Landscaping Assessment District No. 1983-1 for the County as the owner of
the Danville Veteran's Memorial Building.
2. Delegate to the County Administrator the authority to review and execute
ballots received in the future for voting on assessments for County-owned
property as a result of the new requirements of Proposition 218.
BACKGROUND:
The County, as owner of the Danville Veteran's Memorial Building has received a
ballot for voting on the Town of Danville Street Lighting and Landscaping
Assessment District No. 1983-1 as result of the requirements of Proposition 218.
The ballot requires a signature certifying as to the ownership of the property
and/or authorization to execute the ballot for the property owner. Approval of
the recommended action will allow the County Administrator to execute the ballot.
It is anticipated that there will be a number of ballots received in the future for
other assessment district elections from cities, districts and from the County. A
delegation of authority to the County Administrator for review and execution of
these up-coming ballots would expedite the process. Unlike the original
assessment program requirements, Proposition 218 requires that assessments be
levied on government owned properties unless exempted by the levying
authority. The election must be held to determine approval of the assessment
before exemptions can be considered. In order to avoid taking each ballot to the
Board for approval it is recommended that the County administrator be given a
general authorization for these special elections.
