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. 1993-2 and include all parcels within the Bonde Ranch subdivision as shown on the Assessment Diagram incorporated in this Report. Community Outreach The City of Pleasanton engaged SCI Consulting Group in 2019 to begin the analysis necessary to pursue Proposition 218 compliant assessment increase for the Bonde Ranch LMD. That process was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2022,City staff resumed the process of potentially increasing assessments for the District through a Proposition 218 compliant assessment ballot preceding. A neighborhood outreach meeting was held in February 2022. Property owners who attended or communicated with staff by phone or email expressed strong opposition to increasing the assessment. Staff placed the pursuit of a sustainable assessment on hold at that time. 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 20, 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. 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.
