Resolution No. 00-46 set the time and place for the required public hearings to adopt stormwater fees for the balance of the project area. On June 13, 2000, the public hearing for the majority protest was opened 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 August, 2000. 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. Mopted.
