specify the grounds for alleging the proposed assessment does not comply with Proposition 218 or other applicable law, identifying the substantive requirement alleged to be violated and the factual basis for the claim. A written objection that does not specify such grounds is not legally sufficient. C. City Council Consideration and Written Response. Before or during the public hearing, the City Council shall consider, and the City shall respond in writing to, any timely written objections received. The City’s written response shall explain the substantive basis for retaining or altering the proposed assessment in response to the written objections, including any reasons to reject requested amendments. The City Council may adjourn the hearing to another date if necessary to respond to comments received after the agenda is posted. Following consideration of timely written objections and the City’s written responses, the City Council shall exercise its legislative discretion and determine whether: (1) the written objections and the City’s response warrant clarifications to the proposed assessment; (2) to reduce the proposed assessment; (3) further review of the proposed assessment is needed before determining whether clarification or reduction is warranted; or (4) to proceed with, continue, or abandon the proposed assessment. Following these determinations, the City Council shall determine whether to proceed with tabulating assessment ballots. D. Bar to Legal Proceedings. In accordance with Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 1.04.120(C), no person may bring a judicial action or proceeding alleging noncompliance with the California Constitution or other applicable law for the proposed assessment unless that person submitted to the City Clerk a timely written objection specifying the grounds for alleging noncompliance. The issues raised in any such action shall be limited to those raised in such a written objection, unless a court finds the issue could not have been raised in such an objection by those exercising reasonable diligence. E. Public Record. Any submitted written objection shall be a public record subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 7920.000 et seq.).
