Field Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the Hart -Pony Auto Center Site
Specific Storm Drainage Pollution Abatement Fee, and set a Public Hearing for May 25, 2004.
BACKGROUND
In November 1996, California voters passed Proposition 218 — The Right to Vote on Taxes Act.
As a result, the City must conduct a majority protest hearing and a ballot election before
imposing a Site Specific Storm Drainage Pollution Abatement Fee on the associated parcel(s).
Pursuant to Proposition 218, the property owner, Newhall Land and Farming Company, has
submitted a written waiver requesting that the time requirements for initiating proceedings and
conducting the protest and election public hearings be compressed to shorten the process.
Typically, Proposition 218 requires that if a new fee is imposed on a property, 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 the site specific storm drainage
pollution abatement fee. At the request of the property owner, and pursuant to Proposition 218,
the time requirements have been compressed into a single public hearing.

inflation adjustment in accordance with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Los Angeles, Long

revenues in the Stormwater Utility Fund (Fund 456) in the amount of $6,000 to cover the costs of
the additional maintenance. The annual levy of $1,500 per parcel is subject to bi-annual review
and adjustment based on actual expenditures.
