CityCouncil | 2010-10-05 | 3 | Councilmember Matarrese stated direction is to negotiate a contract; public hearings would then occur; the contract could be altered. The Interim City Manager stated the contract has basically been finished; some tweaking might need to be done; appropriation would require Council action; that she could come back with a critical path. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether or not the contract would be brought back at the next meeting. The Interim City Manager responded the contract would not come back at the next meeting; stated that she is not sure of the critical path for annexation; information is missing. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the LAFCO processes would inform future financial encumbrances of the contract. The Interim City Manager responded that she assumes Council wants to move forward [with the contract] based on expectation that the City would annex into the EMS District, barring any Proposition 218 glitches and that the contract costs would go on the property tax roles; stated the assessment for a single family residential property would be $26.43 per year; a two to five unit residential assessment would be $63.92 per year; a supermarket or restaurant assessment would be $105 per year; a larger shopping center assessment would be $184; the highest assessment would be $392 per year for more than five units; the average assessment would be $42 per year. Vice Mayor deHaan stated staff would come back with an outline of how the process would work; more background is needed regarding how the fee would be established. The Interim City Manager stated an Attorney General opinion noted that a vote would not be needed; the issue needs to be researched. Councilmember Tam stated the Hospital Board went through the LAFCO process to form the Alameda Health Care District; Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft can help provide information on boundaries. Councilmember Matarrese stated the public needs to know how a tax can be assessed without a vote; the issue needs to be tested against the Proposition 218 measuring stick. The Interim City Manager stated the issue is very important because the City would be assessing and putting on a parcel tax. Vice Mayor deHaan stated escalation would be part of the equation.
