3 <br /> would be submitted to the County Auditor/Controller for inclusion on the property tax <br /> rolls for Fiscal Year 2021-22. <br /> Legal Requirements <br /> Proposition 218 <br /> The City of Pleasanton's five Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts were <br /> formed prior to the passage of Proposition 218, "The Right to Vote on Taxes Act," which <br /> was approved by the voters of California on November 6, 1996 and is now Article XIIIC <br /> and XIIID of the California Constitution. (Proposition 218 provides for benefit <br /> assessments to be levied to fund the cost of providing services, improvements, as well <br /> as maintenance and operation expenses to a public improvement which benefits the <br /> assessed property). Although these assessments are consistent with Proposition 218, <br /> the California judiciary has generally referred to pre-Proposition 218 assessments as <br /> "grandfathered assessments" and held them to a lower standard than post Proposition <br /> 218 assessments. <br /> The existing Assessment Districts will be re-assessed consistent with the procedures <br /> and requirements imposed by Proposition 218, which describes several important <br /> requirements, including property-owner balloting and approval for the imposition of new <br /> or increased assessments. <br /> This Engineer's Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of <br /> the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined, <br /> the Improvements are directly available to and directly benefit property in the <br /> Maintenance District, and the Improvements provide a direct advantage to property in <br /> the Maintenance District that would not be received in absence of the assessments. <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-2, Bonde Ranch Engineer's Report, Fiscal Year 2021-22 <br />
