Maintenance work within <br />each LMD is categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15302, <br />“Replacement or Reconstruction.” Moreover, under CEQA Guidelines Section <br />15378(b)(4), this action is not a project because it involves a government funding <br />mechanism that does not commit the City to a specific project that may result in a <br />potentially significant physical impact on the environment. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />The Proposition 218 ballot process, should the vote be approved, would improve the long-term <br />sustainability of the landscape maintenance for the Ponderosa-Del Prado and Bonde Ranch <br />Landscape Maintenance Districts, increase protection against wildfire, and provide more <br />funding for better care of the landscapes for each district. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />The City conducted three neighborhood meetings for each proposed district. The first and <br />second meetings informed property owners about the proposed process, the financial <br />challenges facing each district, and the maintenance level options. The third meeting, held on <br />April 6, 2026, for Bonde Ranch, and on April 7, 2026, for Ponderosa-Del Prado, at the <br />Pleasanton Senior Center, presented survey results, the proposed ballot option, and an <br />explanation of the Proposition 218 ballot process. <br /> <br />Dedicated informational websites for each district have been active since early 2026 and are <br />available to property owners at any time. The websites include informal survey results, meeting <br />summaries, presentations, meeting recordings, and other background materials. <br /> <br />Ponderosa-Del Prado Website <br />https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a65e86d56f924ccbbc9d55c3afb6c7ed <br />Bonde Ranch Website <br />https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/a1bd9b1b6e074033b350934a8e211fa1 <br /> <br />Informational flyers summarizing the ballot process were mailed to all district property owners <br />in April 2026. <br /> <br />Following the City Council’s action on this item, formal Proposition 218 ballot packages will be <br />Page 47 of 248
