Action: Held public hearing; Adopted Resolution No. 25-068 C.S. (3-0-2, Councilmembers
Garcia and Smith absent)
Engineering Assistant Hennings gave a brief verbal presentation. Public comment was not
received.
City Clerk Klein, Administrative Assistant Tulett, and Administrative Assistant Portillo performed
the count of the sealed ballots. During the count, one (1) signed Calle Principal District 00-1
ballot was found to have no vote marked either in favor or in opposition, and was therefore
unable to be counted. Seven (7) ballots for Alvarado Street District 85-1 were found in sealed
envelopes marked for Calle Principal District 00-1, after the Alvarado Street District 85-1 public
hearing had already concluded, and were therefore not counted.
City Clerk Klein announced that the result of the count was that the proportional weight of the
ballots submitted in favor of the assessment exceeded the proportional weight of the ballots
submitted in opposition to the assessment, and that therefore a majority protest did not exist.
On a motion by Councilmember Rasch, seconded by Councilmember Barber, and carried by
the following vote, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-068 C.S.:
