5 City of Pleasanton Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, Moller Ranch Engineer’s Report, Fiscal Year 2025-26 benefits the assessed property). Although these assessments are consistent with Proposition 218, the California judiciary has generally referred to pre-Proposition 218 assessments as “grandfathered assessments” and held them to a lower standard than post Proposition 218 assessments. The existing Assessment Districts will be re-assessed consistent with the procedures and requirements imposed by Proposition 218, which provide several important requirements, including property-owner balloting and approval for the imposition of new or increased assessments if greater than the formation level assessments. No vote is required this year because the proposed increase to the assessments is less than the maximum assessment amounts approved at formation of the LMD and no change to the assessment calculation is proposed. This Engineer’s Report is consistent with the requirements of Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution because the Improvements to be funded are clearly defined, the Improvements are directly available to and directly benefit property in the Maintenance District, and the Improvements provide a direct advantage to property in the Maintenance District that would not be received in absence of the assessments.
