| Recommended Action |

| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The County Service Area (CSA) levies fees to provide a source of funding for services in North Davis Meadows that the CSA would not otherwise be able to fund, and which are calculated in order to appropriately spread applicable costs among users according to the cost of providing the services to that user. When a change in a fee or a new fee is warranted, Proposition 218 proceedings are conducted. Proposition 218 proceedings for property-related fees not related to water, sewer and refuse collection require a two-step process:
- Protest proceedings and, if successful (no more than 50% of property owners protest a given fee), then
- Majority vote by mail election
Proposition 218 proceedings for new landscaping, street lighting and stormwater proceedings were initiated on May 21, 2019. Public notification (attached to resolutions) was mailed on May 24, 2019. On July 9, 2019, protest proceedings concluded, resulting in four written protests received which do not constitute a majority of the 95 subject parcels. At that time, the Board of Supervisors called for a Mail Ballot Election in Connection to Proposed New Property-Related Fees for Landscaping, Street Lighting and Stormwater Service in the North Davis Meadows County Service Area. Official ballots were mailed on July 18, 2019 (Attachment A).
This action is to initiate the tabulation of ballots and if the number of votes cast in favor of the new fees exceed the number of votes cast in opposition, adopt resolutions approving new property-related fees for landscaping, street lighting and stormwater services for future years for the North Davis Meadows County Service Area. |
