Analysis
Progress in Meeting Regional Housing Needs
The regional council of governments (the Association of Bay Area Governments, or “ABAG”) is charged by the State with the responsibility for determining the number of new housing units needed in a community for the upcoming planning period. The State of California provides population estimates to each regional council of governments, and this agency then allocates the estimated housing units needed by income category among its member communities. The estimated number of housing units needed in Pleasant Hill, as determined and approved by ABAG, is set forth in Table 1. This table reflects the planning period (i.e., “6th RHNA Cycle”) from January 31, 2023, to January 31, 2031.
TABLE 1
HOUSING NEED BY INCOME CATEGORY (2023-2031)
Income Category Eight Year Need
Housing Units (% of Total)
Extremely Low (<30% median income) 283 (15.7%)
Very Low Income (<50% median income) 283 (15.7%)
Low Income (<80% median income) 326 (18.1%)
Moderate Income (<120% median income) 254 (14.1%)
Above Moderate (>120% median income) 657 (36.4%)
TOTAL 1,803 (100%)
Source: Based on Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) figures.
Generally, Very Low Income households have incomes that do not exceed 50% of the area median income (AMI); Low Income households have incomes between 50% and 80% of AMI; Moderate Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 21 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 Income Households have incomes up to 120% of AMI; and Above Moderate Income households have incomes greater than 120% of AMI (see Title 25 Cal. Code of Regs. §6910 et. seq.).
As of 2025, the City has permitted 307 units towards the 1,803-unit goal (17% of the total) and has a remaining target of 1,496 units (83%).
The City issued building permits for 12 affordable units in 2025 (in the form of accessory dwelling units), and seven market rate units (in the form of accessory dwelling units and new single family homes on vacant lots), which added to the City’s cumulative unit count for this Housing Element period for a total of 307 units, to which there is still an unmet need of 1,496 units.
The City’s RHNA allocation is further divided into various income categories for the reporting period. The City’s progress towards each, and the remaining amount is summarized below:

Additionally, the City approved entitlements for 30 new units in 2025, including 25 ADUs and five new single-family homes; building permits for Harb Townhomes (nine units) and Kamali Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 22 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 Single-Family subdivision (eight units) are currently under review. Staff expects many of these units will receive building permits in 2026, furthering the City’s progress. Below is a table of all 2025 housing activity, broken down by affordability:

Additionally, the City has a total of approximately $5,800,000 in dedicated housing funds received as in-lieu fees paid pursuant to the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance (Fund 34) and from housing successor agency assets (Fund 78). These funds are available to assist with the production of very low-income units when the opportunity arises.
The City previously committed $2.5 million in Housing Successor funds to SAHA to assist with the previously approved (2022) 82-unit affordable housing development. The City also previously (2022) sold two former redevelopment agency properties to Habitat for Humanity for the development of 11 affordable ownership housing units. The City committed $285,000 in Housing Successor funds to develop four units at one site, and $400,000 of in-lieu fee funds to develop seven units at the second site. Development applications for both sites were submitted in 2024 and are currently under review. The City also continues to make an annual contribution of $235,000 to Grayson Creek Apartments.

*For years prior to 2025, data on deed-restricted vs. non-deed restricted Extremely Low-Income units is approximated from whether the projects reported any deed-restricted Very Low-Income Units. If you wish to edit this historical data for accuracy or have any questions about the data, you may login to HCD's online APR system, or contact HCD staff at [email protected].
Total Units
*For jurisdictions that received RHNA determinations for the current cycle prior to the passage of AB 3093 (September 19, 2024):
- You were not allocated Acutely Low-Income and Extremely Low-Income RHNA targets, therefore the allocations in Field 1 are listed as "0" - If you wish to set your own targets in these income categories for informational purposes, contact HCD staff at [email protected]. - All Acutely Low-Income and Extremely Low-Income units reported during the cycle are counted towards Very-Low Income RHNA progress 196

Lyone -
Please include the content of this email & the attached Histogram as Public Comment for BOTH the City Council 2/23 meeting Agenda Item # 7 and the Planning Commission 2/24 meeting Agenda Item # 4. THANKS !
Mayor, Council Members & Commissioners -
Please review the Histogram for RHNA Housing Requirements - 6th Cycle revised 2/20/2026 that is attached to this email. This document has been updated to reflect the actual numbers being used for Permits (19) & Occupancy Certificates (205) for Year 3 of 8 of the current RHNA Cycle. As you will see in graphic form on the left side of the spreadsheet, the City is just below 50% compliance with meeting a proportional Goal for new dwelling units (du).
And we are there only because the large apartment building at 85 Cleaveland (189 du) fell into this Cycle; the City Approval process started over seven years ago. On the right side of this spreadsheet you can see where we would be without that project - you need several more projects of similar total scope in the next few years to even make 50% of Item 9.4
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 79 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 the 1803 du Goal.
I have previously submitted a number of recommendations regarding the much needed revisions to the General Plan (GP) & the corresponding Zoning Maps. They should all be recorded in the Public Comment section for the various GP meetings.
In addition, the City also needs to relax its overly restrictive Ordinances for new buildings. These are my personal Top Three:
1- Height Limits - need to go up another 10' to allow 4 stories of housing at most locations.
2- Mixed Use Ratios - 25% of the gross building area is too much; consider the two exit stairs, an elevator shaft & lobby & the mailbox area needed for the housing above. 3- Major Street Facing - no longer needed in the age of web searches & on-line maps.
Other Residents, Homeowners, Developers, Architects & Builders may have other concerns with the Ordinances as well.
In order to make some new housing truly Affordable, we should also seek changes to the State Building Regulations. Here are a few thoughts along those lines:
1- eliminate the ADA elevator requirements for buildings of less than four stories. 2- allow balconies to be used in lieu of a second fire stair for buildings under four stories if they are fully sprinklered.
The focus here is on Affordability rather than Access for All Everywhere.
It is my belief that the Council did NOT intend to reopen discussions regarding the nine developed Sites & the two vacant properties that were rezoned over two years ago as part of the Housing Element Approval for the development of Affordable Housing.
Others feel that everything including MT & PN are on the table. An immediate clarification would be helpful . . . . .
In my November 21st email to Mayor Shess, I recommended that the City Staff hold a series of meetings for Discussions WITH the Public regarding the Zoning Maps & related City Ordinances - one focused on each Election District ! I am herewith repeating that request.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 2, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.____-26 APPROVING CONTINUED
PARTICIPATION IN THE STORMWATER POLLUTION
MANAGEMENT UTILITY DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZING THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO ADOPT THE FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027
STORMWATER UTILITY AREA FEE FOR THE CITY OF PLEASANT
HILL
SYNOPSIS
The City of Pleasant Hill participates in the Contra Costa Clean Water Program (CCCWP), which was formed to enable jurisdictions to perform local and countywide clean water activities costeffectively. The Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District) collects a stormwater utility fee through the property tax roll on behalf of the City to fund these activities. In order for the Flood Control District to collect these fees, the City is required to set the Stormwater Utility Assessment (SUA) rate by May of each year.
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which renews the SUA rate for Fiscal Year 2026/27.
DISCUSSION
Background
In 1993, the City Council authorized the Flood Control District to create a Stormwater Pollution Management Utility District to collect fees on the City’s behalf under Contra Costa County’s SUA Drainage Ordinance No. 93-47. The fees are collected through the property tax roll and are used to fund clean water activities (including, but not limited to, regulating new development, inspections, public education, and water quality monitoring). The San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, mandates these activities through a countywide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. The permit is issued to the CCCWP, of which the City is a co-permittee (with all Contra Costa cities, the unincorporated County, and the Flood Control District).
Item 9.5
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 83 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 Pursuant to the Stormwater Utility Area Agreement executed with the Flood Control District in 2003, the City must set the SUA rate by May of each year. The SUA rate is based on the Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU), which is the amount of runoff generated from a typical single-family home.
Other land uses are assessed a fee based on their typical impervious surface area as a multiple of the ERU. Based on Flood Control District projections, there are approximately 16,400 ERUs in the City.
Analysis
Since 2001, the rate set by the City Council has been $30 per ERU, which is the maximum authorized by the Stormwater Pollution Management Utility District when it was formed in 1993.
Based on the estimated 16,400 ERUs in the City, approximately $291,669 in revenue, net of Clean Water Program group expenses, will be generated. The revenue generated (Fund 19) provides funding for the ongoing implementation of local and countywide NPDES permit requirements and local storm drain and creek maintenance programs. The Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), adopted in 2009, imposed enhanced requirements (i.e., more outreach, watershed monitoring, illicit discharge control, installation and maintenance of trash capture devices, and development of a long-term zero trash plan).
MRP 3.0 was re-issued by the RWQCB on May 11, 2022, with additional requirements that went into effect on July 1, 2022, and included lowered thresholds for regulated projects, which became effective July 1, 2023. These requirements included, among others:
• The next trash reduction goal is 100%.
• City Staff is currently pursuing an update to our Municipal Code that could require property owners within designated medium- and high-trash-generation areas to install full trash capture devices within private property to help the City meet the 100% reduction goal. • Implementation of enhanced construction site C.6 inspections with PCB inspections during demolition.
• The developing of a Cost Reporting Program for Stormwater Program costs for annual reporting and developing an Asset Management Plan for Stormwater program infrastructure improvements related to NPDES Permit implementation. These are commencing, and permittee volunteers are being asked to be work group members.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed action provides approximately $291,669 in revenue to fund the ongoing implementation of local and countywide NPDES permit requirements.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
Item 9.5
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 84 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Adopt the resolution, approving the continued participation in the Stormwater Pollution Management Utility District and authorizing the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to adopt the Fiscal Year 2026/27 Stormwater Utility Area Fee for the City of Pleasant Hill.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
Should the Stormwater Utility Area Rate not be renewed for FY 2026/27, there would be a loss of $291,669 in revenues to fund and implement local and countywide NPDES permit requirements. The City would need to fund these activities to comply with other funding sources or potentially be subject to fines.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. __ AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SCI
CONSULTING GROUP TO PROVIDE ASSESSMENT ENGINEERING
SERVICES FOR A PROPOSED ASSESSMENT RATE INCREASE
WITHIN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 20
SYNOPSIS
The purpose of this item is to authorize a Professional Services Agreement with SCI Consulting Group, to provide Assessment Engineering Services for proposed assessment rate increases within Assessment District 20.
The usage fee rate has not increased since 1999, and it is necessary to increase rates to address increases in operating costs and to fund needed maintenance along certain commercial streets within the district.
DISCUSSION
Background
Assessment District 20 (AD20), Zones 1 – 6, is governed by the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972. AD20 Zone (1- 5) was formed in 1988 and funds the maintenance of lighting, landscaping and sidewalks at an enhanced level along certain commercial streets. AD 20 was amended in 1999 to create a new zone (Zone 6) that includes the Downtown area.
These landscape and lighting improvements are considered to be of direct benefit to the properties within the AD 20 boundaries. The maintenance activities include weekly mowing and edging of turf; maintenance and repair of irrigation systems; pruning, weeding, and debris removal; graffiti removal; streetlight repair; and utility charges for water and electricity. The funding for the maintenance and services is provided through annual assessments paid by benefiting property owners within the Assessment District. Over the past several years the annual maintenance and servicing costs have increased while the assessment rates for AD20 have remained relatively unchanged.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 88 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 The annual reports prepared by the Engineer of Record for FY2023/24 determined that several zones with AD20 were either in a funding deficit or trending in that direction, and without additional assessment revenue, the City would need to reduce the level of services provided to each zone. The City Council, at the June 5, 2023, City Council meeting, directed staff to pursue a Proposition 218 vote for AD20. The purpose of the Proposition 218 vote was to establish an increased assessment rate for the under-funded zones and to incorporate an annual escalation factor to keep pace with inflation.
On February 26, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 20-24 authorizing the Engineer of Record (Harris and Associates) to perform Assessment Engineering Services for a Proposed Rate Increase for AD20. In June 2024, the City Council conducted a public hearing to review the proposed assessment rate increases to AD 20. The vote was conducted by majority protest and only Zone 4 and Zone 5B approved the assessment rate increase, leaving the remaining zones underfunded. As a result, annual maintenance and services have been decreased commensurate with the funding available for Zones 1, 2, 3, 5A and 6.
Annual utility and maintenance costs have continued to increase, and without the additional, needed funding, the services provided to the under-funded zones will continue to decrease, including irrigation, landscaping, tree trimming, and lighting repairs. To obtain additional funding, the City Council recommended staff pursue a second Proposition 218 vote. To that end, in December 2024, staff issued an RFP for a new Engineer of Work, with a focus on contracting with a consultant who demonstrated a proven track record for obtaining successful Proposition 218 results.
In February 2025, the City Council approved Resolution No. 4-25, designating SCI Consulting Group (SCI) as the City’s Engineer of Work, to provide Assessment Engineering and District Services to the City. These services included an initial and comprehensive Proposition 218 compliance, parcel and assessment levy audit.
SCI’s first order of work was to conduct the comprehensive Proposition 218 Compliance, Parcel and Levy audit during the first levy year for AD20. This audit, now complete, reviewed all parcels and levy data to ensure accuracy and compliance with Proposition 218 and the assessment methodology. Additionally, the audit identified discrepancies, validated assessment methodologies, and established a solid foundation for ongoing levy administration.
The annual reports prepared by SCI in June 2025 for FY2025/26 funding determined that several zones (Zone 1, 2, 3, 5A, and 6) within AD20 are still in a funding deficit, and without additional assessment revenue, the City will need to further reduce the level of services being provided to each zone. Additionally, the results of the audit indicated that not every parcel contained within the boundaries of AD 20 are being accurately assessed, and SCI is also recommending a new Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 89 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 Proposition 218 vote. The purpose of this vote is to ensure Proposition 218 compliance, establish an increased assessment rate for all the parcels within the under-funded zones, and to incorporate an annual escalation factor to keep pace with inflation.
Analysis
On December 9, 2025, SCI submitted a proposal for Assessment Engineering and Proposition 218 Balloting Services (see Exhibit A) for proposed new assessment rate measures. The scope of work includes preparation of new engineer’s reports, all required assessment engineering, and a clear, non-advocacy informational outreach program to support the City through each phase of the Proposition 218 process.
SCI’s cost proposal for the work is $81,892 and includes the following:
Discovery and Assessment Review – this task involves evaluating the 2024 ballot outcome, reviewing available materials and identifying concerns, informational gaps, and zonespecific issues Informed Outreach Preparation – this task involves developing a targeted, factual, and informational outreach strategy based on the findings from Task 1, including zone specific communication and dedicated outreach for key property-owner groups Initial Planning and Preliminary Assessment Engineering – this task involves early project planning and preliminary assessment engineering to establish the foundation for potential assessment measures
Assessment Engineering and Engineer’s Reports – this task involves developing the final assessment methodology, determining the proposed assessment for each parcel, preparing the Engineer’s reports, and finalizing the assessment measures and messaging plans Non-Advocacy Property Owner Informational Outreach Services – to ensure a successful outcome, SCI will advise and support staff with non-advocacy outreach before and during the ballot proceeding, providing the public with clear and accurate information about the proposed assessments
Proposition 218 Ballot Proceeding Services – SCI will assist and fully support staff with the Proposition 218 ballot proceedings, including resolutions, designing, mailing and tabulating official notices and assessment ballots, as well as conducting the public ballot tabulations.
The project will be based on the requirements of the 1972 Act and Proposition 218. SCI’s team understands the requirements of Proposition 218 and the importance of developing a strategy that will minimize the risk of a challenge. Based on SCI’s experience as the current Engineer of Work for AD20, and their familiarity with the City and staff, Engineering staff believes SCI is uniquely qualified to complete the work efficiently, and with minimal guidance. Their knowledge of the Proposition 218 process and AD20 will allow them to quickly answer questions from the City Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 90 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 Council, staff and the general public, while maintaining and protecting the best interests of the City, and to ensure a positive outcome.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of preparing all necessary reports required for the Assessment Engineering Services for the Proposed Assessment Rate Increases for AD20 will be borne by the property owners within AD20. The not-to-exceed amount for the engineering services specified in the Professional Services Agreement is $81,892, which will be paid by the Assessment District.

Dear Ms. James:
SCIConsultingGroup (“SCI”) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide Assessment Engineering, Proposition 218 Balloting Services, and Related Professional Consulting Services to the City of Pleasant Hill (“City”) for the proposed new assessment measures for Assessment District No. 20 (Commercial Area Landscape and Lighting) and Assessment District No. 22 (Landscape and Streetlighting Maintenance District). This scope includes preparation of new engineers’ reports, all required assessment engineering, and a clear, non-advocacy informational outreach program to support the City through each phase of the Proposition 218 process.
This proposal outlines a structured, evidence-based approach that integrates discovery, assessment engineering, and non-advocacy informational outreach. Our goal is to support the City with a legally defensible assessment structure and a transparent process that provides property owners with clear and accessible information.
Based on our preliminary discussions with the City, our proposal is organized into the six tasks outlined below. These tasks reflect SCI’s recommended approach to support the City from early evaluation through final Proposition 218 balloting.
Task 1: Discovery and Assessment Review. This task involves evaluating the 2024 ballot outcome, reviewing available materials, and identifying the concerns, informational gaps, and zone-specific issues that should guide the City’s next steps.
Task 2: Informed Outreach Preparation. This task involves developing a targeted, factual, informational outreach strategy based on the findings from Task 1, including zone-specific communication and dedicated outreach for key property-owner groups.
Task 3: Initial Planning and Preliminary Assessment Engineering. This task involves early project planning and preliminary assessment engineering to establish the framework and foundation for potential assessment measures.

WORK PLAN AND APPROACH
SCI proposes a phased, collaborative approach that moves from an early understanding of the 2024 outcome through assessment engineering to final Proposition 218 balloting. Each task builds on the prior task, ensuring a consistent progression that integrates discovery, technical analysis, and factual informational outreach. Our process is designed to reduce demands on City staff while providing legally defensible work products that meet all requirements of Proposition 218.
TASK 1: DISCOVERY AND ASSESSMENT REVIEW
Before moving toward a future Proposition 218 effort, the City will benefit from a clear and objective understanding of the factors that affected the 2024 ballot outcome and the current perspectives of property owners in AD No. 20 and AD No. 22. This diagnostic phase establishes the factual foundation needed to guide assessment structure development and future informational outreach.
SCI will analyze 2024 ballot return patterns and participation rates, including zone level voting results and turnout trends. Staff will also review protest letters, correspondence, meeting notes, and prior informational materials to identify the themes, concerns, and informational gaps that may have influenced the prior result. In addition, SCI will perform a preliminary review of past informational messaging to evaluate clarity, identify areas for refinement, and determine which topics may require enhanced explanation for property owners.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 96 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 City of Pleasant Hill
February 18, 2026
If the City proceeds with the formation of the assessment districts, SCI will develop multi-year revenue and expense projections based on City input. These projections will serve as the foundation for the budgets and cost estimates included in the Engineer’s Reports. Comprehensive assessment engineering work will involve defining the proportional assessment rate methodology and separating and quantifying both special and general benefits from the proposed improvements and services.
SCI will apply its industry-leading benefit assessment engineering expertise to develop a method that fully complies with the legal and procedural requirements for a new, post-Proposition 218 benefit assessment, including the court’s direction in Silicon Valley Taxpayers Association v. Santa Clara County Open Space Authority, Dahms v. City of Pomona, Greene v. Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Robert Beutz v. County of Riverside, and other Proposition 218 decisions.
In a review session, SCI will present these fiscal plans, our data review and analysis, and the proposed assessment methodology, levies, and budgets to the City. Issues uncovered by the review will be highlighted, and remedies suggested. After the City and the City’s legal counsel have reviewed the data and information, SCI will prepare Engineer’s Reports that fully meet the requirements of Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”), the Government Code, and other relevant code sections.
The Engineer’s Reports will be prepared by John Bliss, P.E., an assessment engineer with 24 years of extensive assessment engineering experience. The Engineer’s Reports will include a detailed description of the assessment plans for the improvements and services, future capital and facility improvement needs, a detailed cost estimate, an analysis of special and general benefits, the rationale used for the assessment apportionment, the method of assessment apportionment, calculation of the specific proposed assessment amount for each parcel, an assessment diagram, and other elements.
After the Engineer’s Reports have been prepared, they will be reviewed with City staff and, if necessary, shall be revised to reflect any relevant comments or issues identified. SCI shall also finalize the assessment levies, roll, diagram, and other information for preliminary City approval. SCI will also prepare draft resolutions, notices, and other materials and documents required or recommended for the proposed assessment. Such documents shall be finalized in conjunction with the City’s legal counsel. At the culmination of these services, SCI shall present the findings, proposed assessment levies, and the Engineer’s Reports to the City staff and the City Council (“Council”).

▪ Draft resolutions and associated agenda reports (MS Word) ▪ Presentation at City Council meeting (In-Person)
TASK 5: NON-ADVOCACY PROPERTY-OWNER INFORMATIONAL OUTREACH SERVICES Effective informational outreach is essential for a successful ballot outcome. Property owners need a clear understanding of the purpose, need, and structure of any proposed assessment measure before they can make an informed decision. When property owners receive straightforward, accessible information about what the measure would fund, why it is needed, and how it would Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 97 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 City of Pleasant Hill
February 18, 2026
affect them, they are far more likely to view the proposal with confidence. Conversely, limited information, unanswered questions, or general mistrust can lead to uncertainty and ultimately a no vote.
Under California law, the City may provide informational communications regarding City issues, including assessment measures, so long as those communications remain strictly factual and nonadvocacy. All materials must be objective and balanced, presenting the measure’s purpose, background, and impacts without attempting to influence the outcome.
Task 5 continues the outreach preparation completed in Task 2 and provides property owners with factual and accessible information about the proposed assessment measures during the Proposition 218 process. Task 5 services begin after completion of the preliminary Engineers Reports. SCI will work with the City to develop and implement an informational outreach program that provides property owners with clear and accessible information prior to initiating the Proposition 218 ballot proceedings and throughout the balloting period. This effort will include a nonadvocacy communication strategy tailored to City property owners, identification of informational needs and audiences, key messaging, and a coordinated outreach schedule. SCI will prepare factual materials, including presentations, handouts, brochures, FAQs, email content, and meeting notices, to explain the purpose, structure, and implications of the proposed assessment. The program may also include a digital feedback survey, informational social media posts, and followup emails to help ensure that property owners receive timely information and can request clarification before the ballot is issued.
SCI will use our Local Input platform to house much of this information on a dedicated project page, providing a single, easily accessible location where property owners can review materials, access updates, and submit general feedback.
Task Deliverables:
▪ Project meeting(s) (virtual)
▪ Informational outreach strategy and timeline (MS Word) ▪ FAQ, handouts, slide decks, and related informational materials (Word, PPT, PDF) ▪ Local Input project page
▪ One informational email campaign
▪ Mailers, upon City request and at additional expense
▪ City training on informational outreach versus advocacy (virtual) ▪ Public informational meetings (1 virtual, 1 in-person) ▪ Property owner inquiry support and responses
TASK 6: PROPOSITION 218 BALLOT PROCEEDING SERVICES
Under this task, SCI will manage the entire Proposition 218 mailed ballot proceeding, including the design, production, mailing, and administration of all official assessment notices and ballots to property owners within the proposed Assessment Districts. The official notice, ballot design, and accompanying informational materials are critical to a successful and legally compliant proceeding.
SCI will prepare materials that clearly and accurately explain the purpose and structure of the proposed assessment measures while meeting all constitutional and statutory requirements.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 98 of 177 - Monday, March 02, 2026 City of Pleasant Hill
February 18, 2026
Once the draft notice and ballot are prepared, they will be provided to the City and its legal counsel for review and comment. Following the incorporation of all feedback, SCI will oversee the printing, addressing, and mailing of the official notices and ballots. Throughout the balloting process, SCI will assist the City in managing all aspects of ballot administration and communication with property owners. SCI will respond to inquiries regarding ballot content, assessment amounts, and procedures; monitor and research undeliverable ballots; and coordinate with the County Assessor and Recorder’s offices to confirm updated ownership or mailing information. Replacement ballots will be prepared and issued as needed to ensure that every eligible property owner has the opportunity to participate in the proceeding. SCI will also maintain a detailed record of mailed, returned, and replacement ballots to support transparency and accountability.
Additionally, SCI will prepare all necessary resolutions, staff reports, and public hearing materials and will assist the City and its legal counsel in addressing property owner testimony during the hearing. The City Clerk will serve as the official tabulator in accordance with applicable legal procedures. Ballot tabulation will occur at the public hearing, with results announced at the City Council meeting, where the Council may consider levying the assessment if approved. SCI will provide tabulation software, ballot scanners, and established procedures to ensure a transparent and efficient process. SCI’s barcoded ballot identification system will be utilized to maintain the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of the results.
TASK DELIVERABLES:
▪ Project meeting(s) (Virtual)
▪ Official Proposition 218 notice, ballot, and envelopes ▪ Printing, mailing, addressing, and postage for Proposition 218 balloting ▪ City Council meetings (3 In-Person)
▪ Draft resolutions and supporting documents
▪ Balloting process support

IN-PERSON MEETINGS
The Work Plan includes up to six in-person meetings. All other meetings and presentations with staff, City Committees, City Council, or other related groups will be conducted virtually. If requested by the City, SCI is available to attend additional in-person meetings at our standard in-person meeting rates.
CITY RESOURCES
SCI will carry out all tasks specified in the Work Plan and any other related services, as appropriate.
The City would be responsible for the following:
▪ Periodically meet or participate in video or voice conference calls with SCI as needed. ▪ Provide information and documentation regarding the City’s Master Plan, if available, capital improvement plan, description of services and improvements to be funded by the assessment, the annual revenues needed, and additional data as requested. ▪ Designate a City point of contact with authority to act on its behalf regarding the Work Plan. ▪ Assist with the planning, review, and coordination of action items.

TENTATIVE TIMELINE
We understand that the City would like to complete the Proposition 218 ballot proceeding sometime in 2026 or early 2027. At this stage, the overall timeline will remain flexible, with a focus on building a strong foundation for community engagement and ensuring that residents have clear, accessible information throughout the Proposition 218 process.
The preliminary Engineer’s Reports, public outreach, and the ballot proceeding will all be sequenced to support a thoughtful and transparent process. Prior to the kickoff meeting, SCI will work with City staff to outline a proposed schedule, and the final project timeline will be developed collaboratively during that meeting to ensure it aligns with the City’s goals, community needs, and any required coordination steps.
Our approach emphasizes early and ongoing engagement, recognizing that project success depends not just on meeting procedural requirements but also on ensuring residents understand the proposed assessment and feel meaningfully included at every step. If additional time is needed for outreach or stakeholder communication, the ballot proceeding may occur later in 2026 or in early 2027.
ASSESSMENT SUPPORT AND VALIDATION
In the event of a challenge to the assessments, any claims by one or more property owners that they do not receive the special benefits indicated in the Engineer’s Reports, or other allegations challenging the validity of the Engineer’s Reports and its methodology in determining the assessments, SCI will provide any necessary professional assessment engineering assistance to support the assessments at no additional cost to the City.

Re: Proposal for Assessment Engineering, Proposition 218 Balloting Services, and Related Professional Consulting Services
Dear Ms. James:
SCIConsultingGroup (“SCI”) is pleased to submit this proposal to provide Assessment Engineering, Proposition 218 Balloting Services, and Related Professional Consulting Services to the City of Pleasant Hill (“City”) for the proposed new assessment measures for Assessment District No. 20 (Commercial Area Landscape and Lighting) and Assessment District No. 22 (Landscape and Streetlighting Maintenance District). This scope includes preparation of new engineers’ reports, all required assessment engineering, and a clear, non-advocacy informational outreach program to support the City through each phase of the Proposition 218 process.
This proposal outlines a structured, evidence-based approach that integrates discovery, assessment engineering, and non-advocacy informational outreach. Our goal is to support the City with a legally defensible assessment structure and a transparent process that provides property owners with clear and accessible information.
Based on our preliminary discussions with the City, our proposal is organized into the six tasks outlined below. These tasks reflect SCI’s recommended approach to support the City from early evaluation through final Proposition 218 balloting.
Task 1: Discovery and Assessment Review. This task involves evaluating the 2024 ballot outcome, reviewing available materials, and identifying the concerns, informational gaps, and zone-specific issues that should guide the City’s next steps.
Task 2: Informed Outreach Preparation. This task involves developing a targeted, factual, informational outreach strategy based on the findings from Task 1, including zone-specific communication and dedicated outreach for key property-owner groups.
Task 3: Initial Planning and Preliminary Assessment Engineering. This task involves early project planning and preliminary assessment engineering to establish the framework and foundation for potential assessment measures.
