2 -IL FinancialImpact:
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.
IIL Reasons for Recommendations and Back rg ound:
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 SUB 8163, and an alternative
means to finance public right of way street lighting would have to be found.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Adopted this Resolution on January 25, 2600, by the following vote:
AYES: SUPERVISORS GIOIA, UILKEMA, DESAUINIER, CANCIAMILLA, AND GERBER
NOES: NONE
ABSENT: NONE
ABSTAIN: NONE
RESOLUTION NO.2000/38
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 SUB 8163(the "Development") consisting of one parcel, more
specifically described in Exhibit A. The ultimate number of parcels to be created from this
development will be six parcels.
2. On December 6, 1999 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. Cance 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 10122.406 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 1999/00 (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 13,
1999. 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 March 14, 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.
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.
I 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.

RESOLUTION NO. 2000138
On July 13, 1999, as an attachment to Resolution 991323, 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 1999/00". That report recommends levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the
County Service Area Law, 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").
Total Assessment/ Ch-arae tan CSA L-100
In the event that the proposed assessment is levied, the total amount chargeable to CSA L-100 will be
$14.94 per parcel
Assessment on Each Parcel
Each parcel described by Exhibit A shall be assessed $14.94 in Fiscal Year 2000/2001.
Methodology for Calculating 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 County
Service Area 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) unforseen
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
County Service Area (CSA) L-100 Lighting District.
RESOLUTION NO. 2000/38
EXHIBIT G
BALLOT NOTICE
Why did you receive this Ballot?
When your development was approved,there was a requirement(condition of approval)to annex the parcel(s)into the County
Service Area 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?
For single family homes,the assessment will be$14.94 per year. The total amount levied by the assessment,with regards
to this development is approximately$89.64 per year.
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 increase the 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
are counted.

Department,255 Glacier Drive,Martinez,CA 94553 prior to February 28,2000 or you may hand carry your ballot to the
Public Hearing on March 14, 2000. 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,
are opposed to the assessment,the assessment will not be imposed.
`allot Procedures
This ballot is for the sole use of the property owner(s) of the parcel identified herein which is located within the County
Service Area L-100 Lighting District. The ballot may be used to express either support for or opposition to the proposed
County Service Area L-100 Lighting District within this development. In order to be counted,this ballot must be signed and

or office below the identification of the property owner (e.g., trustee, President, General Partner, etc.) If the property is
owned 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 both owners of the property vote the same,the ballot
counts as one vote. 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 Tuesday, March 14, 2000 at 9:00 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
