Based on the weighted ballot tabulation results, if the “No” votes exceed the “Yes” votes then there is a majority protest of the proposed assessments, and the City Council will abandon any further proceedings at this time to annex this Annexation Territory to the District or to levy the annual assessments. If majority protest does not exist, it is requested that the City Council adopt the second resolution which formally annexes Tract 20401 to the District, confirms the Assessment Diagram and assessments outlined in the Engineer’s Report, and orders the levy and collection of the assessments for the Annexation Territory to be collected on the County tax rolls for Fiscal Year 2023/2024 as identified in the Engineer’s Report.
