Task 3: Public Outreach To assist the public’s understanding of the need and cost-basis for the proposed Stormwater Fee, with the assistance of City staff (including the City Attorney’s Office), we will draft an 8 -12 question and answer FAQ to be posted on the City’s website. If the City has a community newsletter, we will assist the City in drafting a short summary of the stormwater funding needs and proposed stormwater fee to address the needs. We will prepare a presentation and attend up to two public meetings to educate the public on the stormwater program, funding needs, approval process, and timeline. These meetings will be held after the Proposition 218 notice is issued, and before the date of the public protest hearing. The presentation will include a survey of current/proposed Stormwater Fees of other jurisdictions around the Bay Area. Task 4: Draft Ordinance/Resolution We will prepare a draft ordinance or resolution, for review and comment by City, including City Attorney’s office and City Clerk’s office. Task 5: Attend Public Protest Hearing We will prepare a presentation and attend the protest hearing to answer questions from the public and/or City Council, at the date and time provided in the Proposition 218 notice. If there is not a majority protest (i.e., 50% + 1 of property owners), the City Council may approve continuing on the second phase of the implementation process, distributing ballots to affected property owners. If there is a successful majority protest, the process must stop here. Task 6: Draft and Mail Proposition 218 Ballot We will prepare a draft Notice of Public Hearing and Ballot, for review and comment by City, including City Attorney’s office and City Clerk’s office and manage the noticing process. We will coordinate printing and mailing services to mail individual notices to all property owners affected by the Stormwater Fee. As required by law, the notice will: o Include the information provided in the original Proposition 218 protest hearing notification; o Include “Official Ballot Enclosed” on the face of the envelope; ·
