BACKGROUND On June 22, 1999, Resolution No. 99-107 was adopted initiating proceedings for the Santa Clarita Storm Drainage Fee for the North Valencia II Annexation, setting the time and place for the required public hearings. On August 24, 1999, the public hearing for the majority protest was opened and continued to September 14, 1999 to provide for the allotted public hearing notice procedures required under Proposition 218. The public notices were mailed to all property owners of record, and accurate stormwater fee information was included in these notices. Since no majority protests were received, staff was authorized to mail ballots to property owners and set the stormwater election for November 9, 1999. Proposition 218 requires that if a new fee is imposed on a property, as a result of an annexation application, a majority protest hearing shall be held not less than 45 days after the mailing of the public notice. If no majority protest occurs, the city shall mail a public notice of the proposed fee with a ballot to all property owners and hold a public hearing not less than 45 days after the mailing of the public notice and ballot. If after the closing of the public hearing, property owners elect to impose a fee, the City Council may adopt a resolution canvassing ballots and imposing storm drainage utility fees. TRO WED ALTERNATIVE ACTION No alternative action is identified by staff. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact will result from this action.

IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN THE CITY HALL, 23920 VALENCIA BOULEVARD, SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA CLARITA WILL CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AT WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL WILL CANVASS THE BALLOTS CAST BY THE QUALIFIED VOTERS. Land owned by you, or in which you have an interest, is within the lands proposed to be assessed to pay the Stormwater Drainage Services Fee as described in this notice. Therefore, the City Council of the City of Santa Clarita (the "City Council") has called a Ballot Proceeding for the imposition of the Stormwater Drainage Services Fee. This is an all -mailed or personal delivery ballot proceeding, and the ballots are being mailed or personally delivered to the persons or entities listed on the Los Angeles County Assessor's latest equalized assessment roll, as updated by information known to the City of Santa Clarita (the "City") and the County of Los Angeles. The ballots are being distributed based on the names and addresses designated on the assessment roll or as otherwise updated. Any parcels with a common name and address were combined for voting purposes. Every holder of title to land situated within the area wherein the Stormwater Drainage Services Fee is proposed to be levied as of January 4, 1999, or his or her legal representative is entitled to cast a ballot. Each qualified property owner has been issued one ballot which entitles that property owner to vote his or her total number of parcels. Each ballot is allotted a specified number of votes depending on the proposed fee. Reason for the Fee The City is required to undertake an extensive program to improve the water quality of its runoff under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting process. All properties in the City benefit from the existence of the city's storm drainage system because these properties contribute storm and surface water runoff to the City's storm drainage system as a result of impervious and semi -impervious nature of the property. Existing City funds and funding sources are insufficient to fund the identified needs for operation and maintenance of the storm drainage system. Municipalities are authorized under the California Government Code Section 54300 (the State Revenue Bond Law of 1941) to establish fees and changes for funding storm drainage improvements and the operation and maintenance thereof. Fees for storm drainage maintenance and improvements are also authorized under the California Health and Safety Code, Section 5471. Feasibility studies indicated that a need exists for additional funding for the Stormwater Management Plan of the City and that the establishment of a storm drainage utility enterprise with user fees and charges is the most equitable method of providing this funding. Cost of Maintenance The total estimated cost for Fiscal Year 1999-00 for the Stormwater Program is $2,170,000. The proposed assessment on your parcel(s) is set forth on, the included ballot. See your ballot for the specified amount assessed against your property. Basis of Fee Calculation The annual storm drainage system charge to be billed to each parcel shall. be based on the following formula: 1. Annual charge per DRU shall not exceed $24 2. Annual user charge fiscal year 99/00 shall be: Annual charge = $21 x number of DRUI for parcel (Parcel Area in Square Feet) x (Parcel Runoff Factor) = DRU .0637 Ballot Procedure At any time prior to the time set for the public hearing, any property owner liable to be assessed under the proposed fee may submit a written ballot in favor of or against the proposed fee. Ballots must contain a description of the property in which the property owner is interested sufficient to identify the property, and, if the signers are not shown on the last equalized assessment roll as the owners of the property, the ballot must also contain, or be accompanied by, written evidence that the signers are the owners of the property. If more than one-half (1/2) of the ballots are submitted against the proposed fee, the City Council shall not impose the fee. Proceeding Inquiries For additional information relating to the annexation you may contact Jeanne Geno at (661) 286-4133,, or the City of Santa Clarita, Environmental Services Division, 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, California 91355.
