Page 7 If the Council approves such Resolution and calls for the mailing of notices and ballots, a notice of assessment and assessment ballot will be mailed to property owners at least 45 days prior to the date of the Public Hearing set by the Council. Such notice would include a description of the assessments as well as an explanation of the method of voting on the assessments. Each notice would include a ballot on which the property owner could mark his or her approval or disapproval of the assessments and a ballot return envelope. After the ballots are mailed to property owners, a minimum 45-day time period must be provided for the return of the assessment ballots. Following this 45-day time period, a public hearing must be held for the purpose of allowing public testimony regarding the proposed assessments and services. At this hearing, the public would have the opportunity to provide input on this issue and would have a final opportunity to submit ballots. After the conclusion of the public input portion of the hearing, the hearing may be continued to a later time to allow time for the tabulation of ballots. With the passage of Proposition 218 on November 6, 1996, The Right to Vote on Taxes Act, now Article XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution,the proposed assessments can be levied for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and future years, only if the ballots submitted in favor of the assessments are greater than the ballots submitted in opposition to the assessments. Each ballot is weighted by the amount of proposed assessment for the property that it represents. If it is determined, when the tabulation results are announced, that the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessments do not exceed the assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessments (weighted by the proportional financial obligation of the property for which ballots are submitted)the Council may take action, by resolution,to approve the levy of the assessments for Fiscal Year 2026-27 and future fiscal years. If the assessments are confirmed and approved,the levies,as outlined in this Engineer's Report, will be submitted to the Alameda County Auditor for inclusion on the property tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2026-27. If the assessment ballots submitted in opposition to the proposed assessments do exceed assessment ballots submitted in favor of the assessments, the assessment rates will be consistent with the previous year's assessment rates as indicated in a separate Engineer's Report to be submitted at a future date.
