By previous resolution, the TCSD proposed to continue such rates and charges for the operation, maintenance, service and administration of residential street lighting, perimeter landscaping, and recycling and refuse collection services for Fiscal Year 2007-2008.

At the public hearing on June 12, 2007, the Board of Directors will hear and consider all oral and written objections, protests and comments by any interested person concerning the Report, the proposed rates and charges, and the method of collection of such rates and charges. Section 6. The Board of Directors hereby finds that, based on the Report and the District budget, the rates and charges as set out on Exhibit "A" do not exceed the reasonable cost of the services to be provided by the TCSD for Fiscal Year 2007-2008. Section 7. The Board of Directors hereby overrules any and all objections and protests and adopts the rates and charges for residential street lighting, perimeter landscaping, and refuse and recycling collection services for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 as set out on Exhibit "A". Section 8. The TCSD shall collect such rates and charges at the same time and in the same manner and by the same persons as, together with and not separately from, the property taxes collected within the TCSD. These rates and charges shall be delinquent at the same time and thereafter be subject to the same delinquency penalties as such property taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of property taxes, including, but not limited to, those pertaining to the matters of delinquency, correction, cancellation, refund and redemption, are applicable to these rates and charges, except for California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 4831. However, if for the first year the charge is levied, the real property to which the charge relates has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien or a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of such taxes appear on the roll, then the charge shall not result in a lien against the property, but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection. Section 9. If a property owner subject to these rates and charges questions the classification of the owner's property for Fiscal Year 2006-2007, or claims that an error has been made with respect to the implantation of the rates and charges or the application of the rates and charges to the owner's property for that fiscal year, such property owner must appeal the levy by filing an appeal with the Secretary of the TCSD before 5:00 p.m. on December 3, 2007, pursuant to procedures established by the TCSD, in order to be considered under the appeal of classification or correction of errors program. Section 10. If a property owner subject to these rates and charges believes that payment of the rates and charges for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 would create a hardship for that property owner during that fiscal year, such property owner must appeal the levy by filing a hardship appeal with the TCSD Secretary before 5:00 p.m. on December 3, 2007, pursuant to procedures established by the TCSD, in order to be considered under the hardship appeal program.
