Fiscal Impact:
There is no impact to the County General Fund. All costs will be covered with revenue from CSA M-31
(100%).
i
Reasons for Recommendations and Backs l ound:
I
The developer is required by a Condition of Approval to annex Subdivision 05-8950 into CSA M-31 to ensure
continued reduction in vehicular trips within Ithe Pleasant Hill BART area. In order to levy a new assessment on.
the parcels located within Subdivision 05-8950, Proposition 218 requires majority approval from the affected
property owners. This Board Order and Resolution comply with the requirements for levying new assessments
under Proposition 218. j
i
I
Consequences of Negative Action:
This project will not.be in compliance with the Conditions of Approval for Subdivision 05-8950 and an
alternative means to finance transportation demand management services would have to be found.

The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County FINDS THAT:
i
1. The County is currently processing!Subdivision 05-8950 (the "Development") consisting of six (6)
parcels that encompasses approximately 20 acres and will be divided into nine (9) lots.
2. On August 23, 2007, the applicant for the Development submitted a request to the Department of Public
Works for inclusion of the Development into County Service Area (CSA) M-31. The County intends to
initiate proceedings to annex the Development into CSA M-31 pursuant to that request.
i
3. Once the Development is annexed into CSA M-31, the parce](s) within it will receive a special benefit
over and above that received by the jgeneral public in the form of Transportation Demand Management
(TDM) services. This service is a miscellaneous extended service (the "Extended Service") as defined in
Section 1012-2.406 of the Contra Costa County Code.
4. In order to fund the Extended Service that will be provided to the parcel(s) within the Development, it
will be necessary to levy an "Assessment". The charge meets the requirements of an "Assessment" under
Article XHID of the California Constitution because it provides a special benefit, defined above, on the
parcel(s)within the Development. I
I
5. A copy of the CSA M-31 Annexation Engineer's Report to the Board of Supervisors for the TDM
assessment for Fiscal Year 2007/200.8 (the"Engineer's Report") is attached as Exhibit A. The Engineer's
Report meets the requirements of a tentative report under Section 1012-2.602 of the Contra Costa County
Code. The Annexation 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 adopted the original Engineer's Report for the TDM services on June 11, 2002. Based on its
review of the Engineer's Report, the Board found that:
I
I
(a) The Extended Service financed by the Assessment will directly benefit the parcel(s) within the
Development.
(b) The cost of the Assessment ori each parcel within the Development is proportional to the benefits
that the Extended Service willi confer on each parcel.
i
i
NOW, THEREFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS-ORDERS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
I
1. The Board will conduct a public hearing (the "Hearing") on June 3, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. in Room 107 of the
Board of Supervisors' Chambers, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, California 94553.
I
I
2. The Board directs the Clerk of the Board to immediately provide the Public Works Department of Contra
Costa County with a copy of this resolution. The Board directs the Public Works Director, or designee
mail the written notice of the Hearing (the "Ballot Notice") attached as Exhibit B to the record owners of
each parcel within the Development! The ballot attached as Exhibit C shall be attached to the Ballot
Notice. A copy of the Annexation Erigineer's Report is on file with the Public Works Department.
i
I
3. At the Hearing, the Board shall consider any objections or protests to the annexation and levy of
Assessment. Immediately after the Hearing, the Public Works Department shall tabulate the ballots and
certify the tabulation of the ballots. 'The Board shall not annex the territory into CSA M-31 nor impose
the Assessment if there is a majority iprotest. 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 Annexation
Engineer's Report; authorizes the levy of assessment in the Annexation Engineer's Report; finds that the
Director of the Contra Costa County Public Works Department, acting as the designated director, has
concluded that the Annexation Engineer's Report conforms to the official assessment roll for the year in
which the assessment will be collected and, therefore, constitutes the Annexation Report for the
Assessment; confirms the Annexation Report; and levies the Assessment for the Fiscal Year referred to in
the Annexation Engineer's Report.

CSA M-31 TDMAnnexation Report
Fiscal Year 2007-08 BACKGROUND
I
I
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On April 23, 2002, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution Nos. 2002/256 and 2002/257
which recommended to the Local Agency Formation Commission of Contra Costa County
(LAFCO) the formation of County Service Area (CSA)M-31, Pleasant Hill BART Station Area.
The property located within CSA M-31 receives a special and distinct benefit over and above the
general benefits received by the public at-large in the form of extended transportation demand
management services. These extended transportation services consist of the implementation of
Transportation Demand Management programs as discussed in this report and in the. Plan for
Providing Services for CSA M-31 which is on file with LAFCO. Resolution 2002/256 further
stated that CSA M-31 services should be supported by a benefit assessment or special tax levy
on parcels that receive this special and distinct benefit from the CSA M-31 services.
I
On June 11, 2002 the Board of Supervisors conducted a public hearing and subsequently
approved Resolution 2002/362 which authorized the annual levy of assessments on the parcels
located within CSA M-31 to fund Transportation Demand Management programs.
i
I
On July 10, 2002, LAFCO conducted a public hearing and subsequently approved Resolution
02-19 which formed CSA M-31.
I
I '
Each year since Fiscal Year 2002-03 assessments have been levied within CSA M-31.
i
The Pleasant Hill BART Station Area is a transit village in which residents and employees have
a variety of travel mode options. A core element of the travel mode options for residents and
employees, and a key traffic mitigation measure in the CEQA documents certified at the time of
adoption and amendment of the Pleasant Hill BART Specific Plan was the establishment of
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs. TDM programs include carpooling,
vanpooling, ridesharing; flex time, staggered work hours, guaranteed ride home, telecommuting,
etc. The property owners within CSA M-31 collectively had a mandate to achieve at least 30%
TDM performance (i.e. 30% or more of the area employees arrive at work via something other
than a single occupied car). !
i
The Contra Costa Centre Association is the collective mechanism by which the
'developer/property owner's obligation for TDM programs is undertaken. The Contra Costa
Centre Association is a private non-profit corporation whose membership consists of the
property owners in the area. The!Contra Costa Centre Association has been in existence since
the mid 1980s.
I
I
The following is a list of programs and services that have been proposed to be funded in FY
2007-08 by CSA M-31:
I
I
1) Transit Subsidy Program: Purchase a $48 value BART ticket for $45 and receive one
BART ticket free. The purchaser must pledge to take BART to work a minimum of
three days per week.
a) Transit Subsidy Program No. 1: 110 participants for six months
b) Transit Subsidy Program No. 2: 100 participants for four months

promotional handouts and hosts events and transportation fairs to ensure Centre area
workers are informed of the various commute alternatives, subsidies and incentives
available to them through the Contra Costa Centre Transportation Demand
Management Program.

These TDM services may be amended annually, including the addition or deletion of the services
as required to meet the 30% TDM performance goal as determined by the Contra Costa County
in consultation with the Contra Costa Centre Association or its successor.

CSA M-31 TDM Anne-ration Report
Fiscal Year 2007-08 BACKGROUND
c) Fix a time, date, and place, of hearing on the proposed annexation and levying of a
benefit assessment, which shall be not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days after
the date of adoption of the resolution initiating proceedings; and
d) State that any interested:person desiring to make written protest against such
annexation and/or levy of assessment shall do so by written communication,
containing the signature : of the protestant and street address or some other
identification of the property owned by the protestant, filed with the clerk not later
than the hour set for hearing.
The Clerk shall give notice of the proposed CSA M-31 annexation hearing by mailing a notice to
each property owner within the territory proposed to be annexed, and by publishing a notice in a
newspaper of general circulation at least once, not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to the
hearing. At the hearing, all interested persons shall be given the opportunity to present evidence
and testimony for or against the proposed annexation into CSA M-31. Any person who has tiled
a written protest may withdraw the;written protest at any time prior to the conclusion of the
hearing. A majority protest for the; proposed annexation into CSA M-31 shall be deemed to
exist, and the proposed annexation shall be abandoned, if the Board finds that written protests
filed and not withdrawn prior to the,conclusion of the hearing represent more than 50 percent of
the assessed value of the land therein.
If a majority protest has not been filed, the Board, not later than 30 days after the conclusion of
the hearing, shall adopt a resolution making one of the following determinations:
1) Disapproving the proposed annexation;
2) Approving the proposed annexation; or
3) Approving the annexation, but excluding any lands which the Board finds will not
be benefited from the TDM services.
In conformance with the annexation of territory into the assessment district, County staff will
mail a notice and ballot to each affected property owner located within the boundaries of the
territory to be annexed. This ballot will ask each property owner if they support the annexation
into the assessment district and authorize the levy of an annual benefit assessment to fund TDM
services. All ballots received prior to the close of the public input portion of the public hearing
will then be opened and tabulated. 'If it is determined that there is majority support to annexation
into the assessment district and levy the benefit assessment the Board may adopt a resolution
confirming the annexation and levy of assessment. Majority support is obtained if there are
more ballots received voting "YES" weighted by assessment amount than there are ballots
received voting"NO"weighted by;assessment amount.
This Annexation Report; 1) sets; forth the exterior boundaries of the territory proposed for
annexation, 2) demonstrates the annexation territory will receive a special and direct benefit
from the TDM services, and 3) provides the justification for the calculation and levy of benefit
assessments. The Report was prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the
State of California. This Annekation Report complies with the requirements of California
Constitution Article XIIIC and XIIID ("Proposition 218"); Government Code section 25210.77a;
and Contra Costa County Code Article 1012-2.6.

PART A
I
I
METHOD OF ASSESSMENT & ASSESSMENT LIST
I
I
Special and General Benefit
Proposition 218 provides that "only special benefits are assessable" and defines a special benefit
as a particular and distinct benefit conferred on real property and not a general benefit received
by the public at large. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) services provided
within CSA M-31 are deemed a special benefit and only serve the commercial and residential
parcels located within the boundaries of the District. No TDM services will be provided to the .
general public. Therefore no general benefit subsidy is required, however, the County has, and
may continue, to subsidize various TDM programs.
i
I
I
Property Classification
Developed Residential Property: i Developed Residential Property consists of property which
has had a residential building permit issued prior to April 30 and is classified by the County
Assessor's office as single-family residential, multi-family residential, apartment, condominium,
townhome, townhouse, co-op, cluster home or any other type of property which has been
developed for residential use for which occupants live and occupy for extended periods of time.
Developed Residential Property doers not include hotel and motel use.
I
Developed Commercial Property:i Developed. Commercial Property consists of property
which has had a commercial building permit issued prior to April 30 and is.classified by the
County Assessor's office as commercial property. Developed Commercial Property includes,
but is not limited to, retail stores land shopping centers, office buildings, conference centers,
hotels and motels, or any other type of property which has been developed for commercial use.
Exempt Property: Exempt pro, pcriYconsists of property Ynot classified as Developed
Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property. However, Exempt Property does
include property that had been previously classified as Developed Residential Property or
Developed Commercial Property which has subsequently had the building structure located on
the parcel demolished prior to April 30. This parcel would then remain as an Exempt Property
until such time another building permit is issued prior to April 30 to reclassify the parcel as
Developed Residential Property 'or Developed Commercial Property. Exempt Property also
includes: parking lots, parking garages, roadways, open space and undeveloped property for
which a building permit has not been issued prior to April 30.
I
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Residential Proverty
It is anticipated that not all of the TDM programs will be provided to the•Developed Residential
Property owners. The most viable programs to reduce the number of single occupied vehicular
trips are the Shuttle Program in conjunction with the Marketing Program. The cost to provide
these programs to the Developed..Residential Property owners at build-out is estimated to be
$28,386.36 per year (in FY 2007-108 dollars). Since each residential unit will be similar in size
and will receive the same degree of benefit from the residential TDM programs, each residential
unit will be charged an equal share of the Residential TDM program costs. It is anticipated that
there will be 522 residential units at build-out within the proposed annexation area. Therefore,

CSA M-31 TDM Annexation Report PART A
Fiscal Year 2007-08 METHODOLOGY & ASSESSMENT LIST
i
the maximum annual assessment that can be levied is $54.38 per residential unit ($28,386.36
units) in FY 2007-08 dollars. This maximum assessment may be adjusted annually to reflect the
prior year's change in the Consumers price index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay
Arca: San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is
June 2007 (216.123). Any change in the assessment rate per residential unit, which is the result
of the change in the CPl shall not ibe deemed an increase in the assessment subject to the
requirements of Proposition 218.
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Commercial Property
It is anticipated that all TDM programs will be provided to the Developed Commercial Property
owners. The cost to provide these TDM services to Developed Commercial Property owners at
build-out is estimated to be $238,121.84 per year (in FY 2007-08 dollars). For Developed
Commercial Property the amount of building floor area directly correlates to the number of
potential employees located on each parcel. These total floor area numbers are used to calculate
the proportional special benefit received by each Developed Commercial Parcel within the
District. Building floor area is defined by the gross square footage of the buildings exclusive of
parking. The building floor numbers are shown on the FY 2007-08 Assessment List on the
following page and will serve as thejbasis for calculation of the annual assessment for Developed
Commercial Property. It is anticipated that there will be 2,487,190 sq. ft. of commercial
development at build-out within theiproposed District. Therefore, the maximum assessment rate
per sq. ft. that can be levied is approximately $0.0957 per sq. ft. ($238,121.84/2,487,190 sq. ft.)
in FY 2007-08 dollars. This maximum assessment may be adjusted annually to.reflect the prior
year's change in the Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area:
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June
2007 (216.123).. Any change in the assessment rate per square foot of Building Floor Area,
which is the result of the change in the CPI shall not be deemed an increase in the assessment
subject to the requirements of Proposition 218.
New Development within the CSA
If, prior to April 30 of each year, a new building permit is issued for any residential or
commercial parcel within CSA M-31 it shall be classified as a Developed Residential Property or
Developed Commercial Property respectively and assessed the ensuing fiscal year. All exempt
properties will not be assessed.

BACKGROUND OF CSA M-31
On July 10, 2002, LAFCO conducted a public hearing and subsequently formed County Service Area M-31
(Pleasant Hill Bart Station Area) (CSA M-311). Properties located within the Pleasant Hill BART Station Area
CSA M-31 are assessed annually to fund extended transportation demand management(TDM) programs. These
programs include carpooling, vanpooling, ridesharing; flex time, staggered work hours, guaranteed ride home,
telecommuting, etc. The property owners within CSA M-31 collectively have a mandate to achieve at least 30%
TDM performance (i.e. 30% or more of thel area employees arrive at work via something other than a single
occupied car).
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The following is a list of programs and seryices that have been proposed to be funded in FY 2007-08 by CSA
M-31:

minimum of 12 times per month, and receive one free $48 value BART ticket.
5) Vanpool Program: All fuel for yanpools commuting to Contra Costa Centre is paid by the TDM
Program. Additionally, TDM program pays $50 per month towards vehicle insurance due to
$5,000,000 liability requirement by Contra Costa County. Van # 2 runs from Davis Street, Vacaville,
to Oak Road, Walnut Creek, from 6:00 — 7:30 am. and from 3:30 — 4:30 pm. Van # 3 runs from

7) Intrago Light EV Rental System: The Contra Costa Centre partners with Intrago LLC to provide
employees with access to local vehicles (segways, electric bicycles, bicycles, electric scooters and
NEV vehicles) to use through the Transit Village during the workday. Employees are able to check
out vehicles electronically from a kiosk located at the Urban West and Pacific Plaza buildings.
8) Marketing Plan: The marketing plan develops newsletters, posters, brochures and promotional
handouts and hosts events and transportation fairs to ensure Centre area workers are informed of the
various commute alternatives, subsidies and incentives available to them through the Contra Costa
Centre Transportation Demand Management Program.
i
i
These TDM services may be amended annually, including the addition or deletion of the services as required to
meet the 30% TDM performance goal as determined by the Contra Costa County in consultation with the
Contra Costa Centre Association or its successor.
i
BASIS FOR CALCULATING ASSESSMENT
i
Property Classification
Developed Residential Property: Developed Residential Property consists of property which has had a
residential building permit issued prior to April 30 and is classified by the County Assessor's office as single-
family residential, multi-family residential, apartment, condominium, townhome, townhouse, co-op, cluster
home or any other type of property which has been developed for residential use for which occupants live and
occupy for extended periods of time. Developed Residential Property does not include hotel and motel use.
i
Developed Commercial Property: Developed Commercial Property consists of property which has had a
commercial building permit issued prior to April 30 and is classified by the County Assessor's office as
commercial property. Developed Commercial Property includes, but is not limited to, retail stores and shopping
centers, office buildings, conference centers; hotels and motels, or any other type of property which has been
developed for commercial use.
I
Exempt Property: Exempt property consists of property not classified as Developed Residential Property or
Developed Commercial Property. However, Exempt Property does include property that had been previously
classified as Developed Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property which has subsequently had
the building structure located on the parcel demolished prior to April 30. This parcel would then remain as an
Exempt Property until such time another building permit is issued prior to April 30 to reclassify the parcel as
Developed Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property. Exempt Property also includes: parking
lots, parking garages, roadways, open space and undeveloped property for which a building permit has not been
issued prior to April 30..
i
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Residential Property
It is anticipated that not all of the TDM programs will be provided to the Developed Residential Property
owners. The most viable programs to reduce the number of single occupied vehicular trips are the Shuttle
Program in conjunction with the Marketing Program. The cost to provide these programs to the Developed
Residential Property owners at build-out isiestimated to be $28,386.36 per year (in FY 2007-08 dollars). Since
each residential unit will be similar in size and will receive the same degree of benefit from the residential TDM
programs, each residential unit will be charged an equal share of the Residential TDM program costs. It is
anticipated that there will be 522 residential units at build-out within the proposed annexation area. Therefore,
the maximum annual assessment that can b.e levied is $54.38 per residential unit ($28,386.36 units) in FY 2007-

08 dollars. This maximum assessment may be adjusted annually to reflect the prior year's change in the
Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area: San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The
base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007 (216.123). Any change in the assessment rate per
residential unit, which is the result of the change in the CPI shall not be deemed an increase in the assessment
subject to the requirements of Proposition 218.
i
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Commercial Property
It is anticipated that all TDM programs will be provided to the Developed Commercial Property owners. The
cost to provide these TDM services to Developed Commercial Property owners at build-out is estimated to be
$238,121.84 per year (in FY 2007-08 dollars). For Developed Commercial Property the amount of building
floor area directly correlates to the number of potential employees located on each parcel. These total floor area
numbers are used to calculate the proportional special benefit received by each Developed Commercial Parcel
within the District. Building floor area is defined by the gross square footage of the buildings exclusive of
parking. The building floor numbers are shown on the FY 2007-08 Assessment List on the following page and
will serve as the basis for calculation of the annual assessment for Developed Commercial Property. It is
anticipated that there will be 2,487,190 sq. A. of commercial development at build-out within the proposed
District. Therefore, the maximum assessment rate per sq. ft. that can be levied is approximately$0.0957 per sq.
ft. ($238,121.84/2,487,190 sq. ft.) in FY 2007-08 dollars. This maximum assessment may be adjusted annually
to reflect the prior year's change in-the Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area:
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007 (216.123).
Any change in the assessment rate per square foot of Building Floor Area, which is the result of the change in
the CPI shall not be deemed an increase in the assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218.
New Development within the CSA
If, prior to April 30 of each year, a new building permit is issued for any residential or commercial parcel within
CSA M-31 it shall be classified as a Developed Residential Property or Developed Conunercial Property
respectively and assessed the ensuing fiscal year. All exempt properties will not be assessed.
I
An Annexation 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, Martinez,
CA, 94553-4897.
I
I
DURATION OF ASSESSMENT
In order to fund extended transportation demand management (TDM) programs within the CSA M-31, the
County plans to levy assessments each fiscal year in perpetuity.
i
AMOUNT OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT
A. Total CSA M-31 Assessment

The maximum assessment that could be levied in FY 2007-08 for parcels located within CSA M-31 is $54.38
per developed residential unit and $0.0957 per building sq. ft. for each developed commercial parcel. Each
fiscal year their after the maximum assessment may be increased annually to reflect the prior year's change in
the Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area: San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose.
The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007.(216.123).
I
i
Based on the proposed development of 522 residential units and 325,590 sq. ft. of commercial retail space your
Maximum FY 2007-08 assessment would have been $28,386.36 for the residential units and $31,171.76 for the
commercial retail space if building permits had been issued prior to April 30, 2007.

CSA M-31 are assessed annually to fund extended transportation demand management (TDM)programs. These
programs include carpooling, vanpooling, ridesharing; flex time, staggered work hours, guaranteed ride home,
telecommuting, etc. The property owners within CSA M-31 collectively have a mandate to achieve at least 30%
TDM performance (i.e. 30% or more of the area employees arrive at work via something other than a single
occupied car). j

employees with access to local vehicles (segways, electric bicycles, bicycles, electric scooters and
NEV vehicles) to use through the Transit Village.during the workday. Employees are able to check
out vehicles electronically from a kiosk located at the Urban West and Pacific Plaza buildings.

meet the 30% TDM performance goal as determined by the Contra Costa County in consultation with.the

BASIS FOR CALCULATING ASSESSMENT
Property Classification
Developed Residential Property: Developed Residential Property consists of property which has -had a
residential building permit issued prior to lApril 30 and is classified by the County Assessor's office as single-
family residential, multi-family residential, apartment, condominium, townhome, townhouse, co-op, cluster
home or any other type of property whichihas been developed for residential use for which occupants live and
occupy for extended periods of time. Developed Residential Property does not include hotel and motel use.
Developed Commercial Property: Developed Commercial Property consists of property which has had a
commercial building permit issued prior to April 30 and is classified by the County Assessor's office as
commercial property. Developed Commercial Property includes, but is not limited to, retail stores and shopping
centers, office buildings, conference centers, hotels and motels, or any other type of property which has been
developed for commercial use.
Exempt Property: Exempt property consists of property not classified as Developed Residential Property or
Developed Commercial Property. However, Exempt Property does include property that had been previously
classified as Developed Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property which has subsequently had
the building structure located on the parcel demolished prior to April 30. This parcel would then remain as an
Exempt Property until such time another building permit is issued prior to April 30 to reclassify the parcel as
Developed Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property, Exempt Property also includes: parking
lots, parking garages, roadways, open space and undeveloped property for which a building permit has not been
issued prior to April 30.
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Residential Property
It is anticipated that not all of the TDM programs will be provided to the Developed Residential Property
owners. The most viable programs to reduce the number of single occupied vehicular trips are the Shuttle
Program in conjunction with the Marketing Program. The cost to provide these programs to the Developed
Residential Property owners at build-out is estimated to be $28,386.36 per year (in FY 2007-08 dollars). Since
each residential unit will be similar in size and will receive the same degree of benefit from the residential TDM
programs, each residential unit will be charged an equal share of the Residential TDM program costs. It is
anticipated that there will be 522 residential units at build-out within the proposed annexation area. Therefore,
the maximum annual assessment that canbe levied is $54.38 per residential unit ($28,386.36 units) in FY 2007-

08 dollars. This maximum assessment niay be adjusted annually to reflect the prior year's change in the
Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area: San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The
base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007 (216.123). Any change in the assessment rate per
residential unit, which is the result of the change in the CPI shall not be deemed an increase in the assessment
subject to the requirements of Proposition 218.
Benefit Assessment Methodology for Developed Commercial Property
It is anticipated that all TDM programs will be provided to the Developed Commercial Property owners. The
cost to provide these TDM services to Developed Commercial Property owners at build-out is estimated to be
$238,121.84 per year (in FY 2007-08 dollars). For Developed Commercial Property the amount of building
floor area directly correlates to the number lof potential employees located on each parcel. These total floor area
numbers are used to calculate the proportional special benefit received by each Developed Commercial Parcel
within the District. Building floor area is defined by the gross square footage of the buildings exclusive of
parking. The building floor numbers are shown on the FY 2007-08 Assessment List on the following page and
will serve as the.basis for calculation of the annual assessment for Developed Commercial Property. It is
anticipated that there will be 2,487,190 sq. ft. of commercial development at build-out within the proposed
District. Therefore, the maximum assessment rate per sq. ft. that can be levied is approximately$0.0957 per sq.
ft. ($238,121.84/2,487,190 sq. ft.) in FY 2007-08 dollars. This maximum assessment may be adjusted annually
to reflect the prior year's change in the Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area:
San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose. The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007 (216.123).
Any change in the assessment rate per square foot of Building Floor Area, which is the result of the change in
the CPI shall not be deemed an increase in the assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218.
New Development within the CSA
If, prior to April 30 of each year, a new building permit is issued for any residential or commercial parcel within
CSA M-31 it shall be classified as a Developed Residential Property or Developed Commercial Property
respectively and assessed the ensuing fiscal year. All exempt properties will not be assessed.
An Annexation 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, Martinez,
CA, 94553-4897.
DURATION OF ASSESSMENT
In order to fund extended transportation Idemand management (TDM) programs within the CSA M-31, the
County plans to levy assessments each fiscal year in perpetuity.
AMOUNT OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT
A. Total CSA M-31 Assessment
The total Fiscal Year 2007/2008 annual chiarge for CSA M-31 is $202,362.96.
B. Individual Assessment
The total Fiscal Year 2007/2008 annual assessment for your parcel(s) is $0.00.
C. Maximum Assessment Rate

CSA M-31 ANNEXATION SAMPLE NOTICE
The maximum assessment that could be levied in FY 2007-08 for parcels located within CSA M-31 is $54.38
per developed residential unit.and $0.0957 per building sq. ft. for each developed commercial parcel. Each
fiscal year their after the maximum assessment may be increased annually to reflect the prior year's change in
the Consumer price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for the Bay Area: San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose.
The base CPI index to be used for future calculations is June 2007 (216.123).
Based on the proposed development of 522 residential units and 325,590 sq. ft. of commercial retail space your
Maximum FY 2007-08 assessment would have been $28,386.36 for the residential units and $31,171.76 for the
commercial retail space if building permits had been issued prior to April 30, 2007.
