By signing the petition you show your support for the CBD and enable the process to move to the <br />balloting phase. Property owners representing 30% of the total assessment to be collected must sign a <br />petition in order to bring this issue to an official vote. The petition includes information regarding your <br />specific assessment – the amount and percentage of the total assessment. The petition must be signed <br />by the legal owner or an authorized representative. Your prompt return of the petition would be <br />appreciated. Please return no later than May 5, 2013. <br /> <br />Assuming the 30% petition threshold is reached, on Monday, May 20, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. the City Council <br />of San Leandro will consider adopting a “Resolution of Intent” to mail out the ballots to all affected <br />property owners. Ballots would be mailed to property owners the week of May 20th and due to be <br />returned by the public hearing tentatively scheduled for July 15, 2013. In order for the Downtown San <br />Leandro CBD to be implemented, 50% plus one of the weighted ballots cast must be in favor of the CBD. <br /> <br />Once established, the Downtown San Leandro CBD would become a line item on the Alameda County <br />property tax bill beginning December 2013. The assessments and programs they pay for would be <br />controlled by a non-profit organization made up of primarily of the property owners that pay into the <br />CBD, not the City of San Leandro. <br /> <br />This package includes a summary of the Downtown San Leandro Community Benefit District 2013 <br />Management District Plan (the full plan is available upon request), the petition and a return envelope. <br /> <br />You may return the petition by mail, scan and e-mail it or fax it into our offices at (619) 239-7105 or e- <br />mail to mail@newcityamerica.com. We have a chance to take Downtown to the next level and the <br />Steering Committee believes that the proposed CBD is the most effective long term mechanism for <br />doing just that. <br /> <br />For more information, or to get a copy of the full Management District Plan e-mailed or sent to you, <br />please call Monica at (888) 356-2726. Thank you for your cooperation in this important effort. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br />Marco LiMandri <br />On behalf of the Downtown San Leandro CBD Steering Committee <br />
