To: All Property Owners within the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District Subject: Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Dissolution of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District
Dear Property Owner,
On October 6, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Hillside Drive Geologic Hazard Abatement District (“GHAD”) adopted Resolution 25-XXX initiating the GHAD dissolution procedures pursuant to California Public Resources Code division 17, sections 26500-26654. This correspondence is provided to you as notice of a Public Hearing to consider the dissolution of the GHAD in accordance with California Public Resources Code section 26580.
Purpose of the Hearing:
The purpose of this hearing is to receive public testimony regarding the proposed dissolution of the San Leandro Hillside GHAD. The GHAD was originally formed on November 8, 2000, to administer the repair of an existing landslide and perform ongoing maintenance and monitoring following the slope stabilization for 26 lots on Hillside Circle in the Bay-O-Vista area. The City as agent of the GHAD, subsequently managed a project for the design and construction of the landslide restoration project to completion in 2001. Remaining GHAD funds were used for continued maintenance. However, winter storms in 2022 required erosion control measures expending all remaining funds – the sole asset – of the GHAD. Without funding, the responsibilities of the GHAD cannot continue.
The GHAD Board of Directors is considering dissolution of the GHAD consistent with the position that all responsibility for current and future maintenance and erosion control measures now belong to the individual property owners in the absence of public funding.
Public Hearing:
Notice is hereby given that the GHAD Board of Directors will hold a public hearing to consider dissolution of the GHAD and receive all comments from property owners and stakeholders regarding the proposed dissolution as follows:
Hearing Date: November 17, 2025
