NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO ANNEX TERRITORY TO
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 5
CITY OF BRENTWOOD,
COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Annexation #15
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on February 9, 2024 the City of Brentwood (the "City") duly adopted Resolution No. 2024-19 (the "Resolution of Intention") wherein it declared its intention to Annex Territory to Community Facilities District No. 5, and the City Council determined, under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the "Community Facilities Act of 1982," being Chapter 2.5, Part 1, Division 2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California (the "Act"), that the public convenience and necessity require that it commence proceedings to annex certain territory (the "Territory") to Community Facilities District No. 5, City of Brentwood, County of Contra Costa, State of California ("CFD No. 5") constituting certain parcels of land, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers further listed below.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that Tuesday, the 9th day of April 2024, at the hour of 7:00 P.M. or as soon thereafter as the City Council may reach the matter, at the regular meeting of the City Council, has been fixed by the City Council as the time for a public hearing to be held by the City Council to consider the proposed annexation of the Territory to CFD No. 5 and the levying of special taxes of CFD No. 5 within the Territory and all other matters set forth in the Resolution of Intention. The hearing will be held virtually, using Zoom, and the public is invited to participate.
Those wishing to solely view (and not participate in) this meeting in real time or after the meeting has ended may do so through the City Council Agendas’ link on the City webpage: www.brentwoodca.gov.
During such public hearing any persons interested, including all taxpayers, property owners and registered voters within CFD No. 5 and within the Territory, may be heard, and the testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the proposed annexation of the Territory to CFD No. 5 or the levying of special taxes of CFD No. 5 within the Territory or on any other matters set forth in the Resolution of Intention will be heard and considered. Any protests to the foregoing may be made orally or in writing by any such interested persons or taxpayers, except that any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of such proceedings shall be in writing and shall clearly set forth the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made; and the City Council may waive any irregularities in the form or content of any written protest and at such public hearing may correct minor defects in such proceedings. All written protests shall be filed with the City Clerk on or before the time fixed for such public hearing, or personally submitted during the hearing, and any written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of such public hearing. Interested persons may submit or withdraw written protests by appearing at the City Council Chambers during the course of the hearing of this agenda item. Since there are less than 12 registered voters in CFD No. 5 or in the Territory, the Act provides that if the owners of one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land within CFD No. 5, or the owners of one-half (1/2) or more of the area of land within the Territory, file written protests against the proposed annexation of the Territory to CFD No. 5, and such protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the value of the protests to less than a majority, then no further proceedings to annex the Territory to CFD No. 5 as proposed in the Resolution of Intention shall be taken for a period of one (1) year from the date of the decision by the City Council on the issues discussed at such public hearing. At the conclusion of such public hearing, the City Council may abandon the proceedings to annex the Territory to CFD No. 5 or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed to call an election to submit to the qualified electors of the Territory the question of annexing the Territory to CFD No. 5 and authorizing the levy of special taxes of CFD No. 5 within the Territory; and if the City Council determines at the conclusion of such public hearing to call such an election, the voting procedure at such election shall be by landowners in the Territory voting in accordance with the Act.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that such public hearing may be continued from time to time, but shall be completed within thirty (30) days.
NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that a copy of the Resolution of Intention and a copy of Annexation #15 Boundary Map showing the boundaries of the Territory are on file with the City Clerk at 150 City Park Way, Brentwood, California 94513, and are available for review there during business hours by any interested persons.
