SATMD Management District Plan 21 <br />May 14, 2025 <br />and a statement that the same improvements, maintenance, and activities are proposed for subsequent years <br />shall satisfy the requirements of this subdivision. <br />(e) The total annual amount proposed to be expended for improvements, maintenance, or activities, and <br />debt service in each year of operation of the district. If the assessment is levied on businesses, this amount <br />may be estimated based upon the assessment rate. If the total annual amount proposed to be expended in <br />each year of operation of the district is not significantly different, the amount proposed to be expended in <br />the initial year and a statement that a similar amount applies to subsequent years shall satisfy the <br />requirements of this subdivision. <br />(f) The proposed source or sources of financing, including the proposed method and basis of levying the <br />assessment in sufficient detail to allow each property or business owner to calculate the amount of the <br />assessment to be levied against their property or business. The plan also shall state whether bonds will be <br />issued to finance improvements. <br />(g) The time and manner of collecting the assessments. <br />(h) The specific number of years in which assessments will be levied. In a new district, the maximum <br />number of years shall be five. Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years. <br />Notwithstanding these limitations, a district created pursuant to this part to finance capital improvements <br />with bonds may levy assessments until the maximum maturity of the bonds. The management district plan <br />may set forth specific increases in assessments for each year of operation of the district. <br />(i) The proposed time for implementation and completion of the management district plan. <br />(j) Any proposed rules and regulations to be applicable to the district. <br />(k) <br />(1) A list of the properties or businesses to be assessed, including the assessor’s parcel numbers <br />for properties to be assessed, and a statement of the method or methods by which the expenses of a <br />district will be imposed upon benefited real property or businesses, in proportion to the benefit <br />received by the property or business, to defray the cost thereof. <br />(2) In a property-based district, the proportionate special benefit derived by each identified parcel <br />shall be determined exclusively in relationship to the entirety of the capital cost of a public <br />improvement, the maintenance and operation expenses of a public improvement, or the cost of the <br />activities. An assessment shall not be imposed on any parcel that exceeds the reasonable cost of <br />the proportional special benefit conferred on that parcel. Only special benefits are assessable, and <br />a property-based district shall separate the general benefits, if any, from the special benefits <br />conferred on a parcel. Parcels within a property-based district that are owned or used by any city, <br />public agency, the State of California, or the United States shall not be exempt from assessment <br />unless the governmental entity can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that those <br />publicly owned parcels in fact receive no special benefit. The value of any incidental, secondary, <br />or collateral effects that arise from the improvements, maintenance, or activities of a property- <br />based district and that benefit property or persons not assessed shall not be deducted from the <br />entirety of the cost of any special benefit or affect the proportionate special benefit derived by <br />each identified parcel. <br />(3) In a property-based district, properties throughout the district may share the same special <br />benefits. In a district with boundaries that define which parcels are to receive improvements, <br />maintenance, or activities over and above those services provided by the city, the improvements, <br />maintenance, or activities themselves may constitute a special benefit. The city may impose <br />assessments that are less than the proportional special benefit conferred, but shall not impose <br />assessments that exceed the reasonable costs of the proportional special benefit conferred. Because <br />one or more parcels pay less than the special benefit conferred does not necessarily mean that <br />other parcels are assessed more than the reasonable cost of their special benefit. <br />(l) In a property-based district, a detailed engineer’s report prepared by a registered professional engineer <br />certified by the State of California supporting all assessments contemplated by the management district <br />plan. <br />(m) Any other item or matter required to be incorporated therein by the city council. <br /> <br />36623. Procedure to levy assessment <br /> <br />(a) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased property assessment, the notice and protest and <br />hearing procedure shall comply with Section 53753 of the Government Code. <br />(b) If a city council proposes to levy a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and <br />hearing procedure shall comply with Section 54954.6 of the Government Code, except that notice shall be
