Page 3 of 4 <br />The table below lists (A) the number of parcels within each GHAD that are subject to <br />assessment, (B) the proposed assessment amount for the coming year, (C) the projected total <br />revenue, (D) the anticipated operational expenses, (E) the excess revenue to be deposited to <br />reserve accounts, and (F) the total current fund reserve. <br /> <br />Although the reserve accounts will continue to have positive balances, needed upgrades to <br />drainage infrastructure will eventually deplete the reserves such that supplemental funding <br />may be needed in the future to respond to a significant geologic event. To address this, staff <br />will develop a plan intended to replenish the reserve funds, which will likely include an <br />increase in the proposed annual assessment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />At its May 20, 2025, meeting, the City Council, acting as Board of Directors for the GHADs, <br />adopted a resolution declaring its intention to order assessments from property owners within <br />each GHAD for FY 2025/26. Property owners have a right to protest the assessments or to <br />ask for modifications or adjustments at a public hearing. The Board shall hear and consider all <br />protests. After the close of the public hearing, the Board shall confirm the assessments and <br />order that the amount of each assessment be levied. If the assessments are ordered, the City <br />Clerk will record the Notice of Assessments with the Alameda County Tax Collector as <br />provided in California Streets and Highways Code §3114. <br /> <br />CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) <br />Maintenance work within each GHAD is categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines <br />Section 15302, “Replacement or Reconstruction.” <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Not applicable, as this item is a routine matter of City business. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />Notices were sent by the City Clerk to owners of real property within each GHAD informing <br />them of the date and time of the public hearing for the Board to hear any protests concerning <br />the proposed assessments. <br />Page 16 of 29
