Page 32 Government Code Section 53759.1 authorizes public agencies to implement an exhaustion of administrative remedies requirement in connection with a proposed Proposition 218 property-related fee or assessment.Where a local agency complies with the requirements of that section, property owners are required to submit a written objection during the ratemaking process by a specified deadline, no less than 45 days after mailing of the Proposition 218 notice, and are prohibited from challenging the fee or assessment in litigation if they did not submit a timely written objection.The agency is required to prepare written responses to timely submitted objections and present them to the governing body, which must make certain specified determinations prior to the close of the Proposition 218 protest hearing. This process runs concurrently with the Proposition 218 timeline and does not affect a property owner's right to submit a protest pursuant to Proposition 218. Government Code Section 53759.2 specifies the scope of judicial review of the administrative record of the underlying ratemaking proceeding where the local agency complied with Section 53759.1 in adopting the fee or assessment being challenged. The City of Pleasanton has implemented the requirements of Government Code Section 53759.1 through Ordinance No. 2292, codified at Pleasanton Municipal Code Section 1.04.120. The City intends to comply fully with Government Code Section 53759.1 with respect to the proposed Assessment. Property owners will be informed of the deadline and process to submit a written objection, and all other dates and requirements related to the City's compliance with this provision, in the ballot notice mailed pursuant to Proposition 218.
