Page 5 This Engineer's Report ("Report") was prepared to establish the budget for the improvements and services ("Improvements") that will be funded by the proposed assessments, to determine the general and special benefits received from the Improvements by property within the Assessment District, and to establish the method of assessment apportionment to lots and parcels. This Report and the assessments have been made pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (the "Act") and Article XIIID of the California Constitution (the "Article"). The boundaries of the Assessment District are the same as the boundaries of the existing District No. 1984-1 and include all parcels within the Ponderosa subdivision as shown on the Assessment Diagram incorporated in this Report. Community Outreach Prior to initiating Proposition 218 proceedings, the City of Pleasanton conducted an extensive community outreach process to inform property owners of the District's financial condition, solicit input on proposed maintenance levels, and explain the Proposition 218 ballot process. Prior to each community meeting, the City mailed and emailed informational flyers to all district property owners summarizing the meeting date, location, and topics to be covered. On November 17, 2025,the City held its first informational community meeting virtually. City staff and SCI Consulting Group presented information about the District's formation and history, the current state of the landscape and infrastructure, the funding shortfall resulting from decades of unchanged assessments, and the Proposition 218 process required to increase the assessment. Property owners were invited to submit written feedback to the City and notified that the City would be holding another meeting in response to the input received and to present more detailed cost information. On February 19, 2026, the City held its second community meeting at the Pleasanton Senior Center, available both in person and virtually.The City presented updated budget options, the zone of benefit structure, the Proposition 218 ballot process and timeline, and an overview of the survey to date. The informal survey was distributed via mail to all district property owners and email for all property owners that had provided the City with their email addresses. The survey sought input on preferred maintenance levels, priorities for improvements,and attitudes toward the proposed assessment.
