that the Extended Service will confer on each parcel.

ballots. The Board shall not impose the Assessment if there is a majority protest. A majority protest

levies the assessment in the Engineer's Report; finds that the Director of the Contra Costa County Public
Works Department, acting as thedesignated 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,

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 (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 parcel(s) are assessed a Factor of 1, derived from the Land Use Code, 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 i e 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,
Martinez, 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 21, 2006 or you may hand
carry your ballot to the Public Hearing on May 2, 2006. 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 sole 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 propertylis 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 May 2, 2006 t .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 testi mdny 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 26, 2005, as an attachment to Resolution No. 2005/471, the Board of Supervisors adopted the "Final
Engineer's Report establishing a Street Lighting Service Charge for Fiscal Year 2005/2006". That report
recommends levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the CSA 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 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(s).
Assessment on Each Parcel I
Each parcel described by Exhibit A shall be assessed $14.94 per Factor Unit in Fiscal Year 2006/2007.
Methodology for Calculating Street U_2 ing 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 lwithin 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 payfor the total costs of operating the street light system and those costs are
apportioned among the various parcels ml the CSA L-100 Lighting District.
