RESOLUTION NO. 971479
On July 15, 1997, as an attachment to Resolution 978374, 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 1997198". 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 17, 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/Chame On CSA L-100
In the event that the proposed assessment is levied, the total amount chargeable to CSA L-100 will be
$74.40 per parcel.
Assessment on Each Parcel
Each parcel described by Exhibit A shall be assessed $74.40 in Fiscal Year 1997898.
Methodolony 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.

" BALLOT NOTICE
Why did you receive this.Ballot?

the County Service Area.1-100 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 $149.40 per year.
Why should you Yate?
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 fighting 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.
