__. ..�. -I__.__�� __ . _. . � �._ • Changes to assessment ballots In order to change the contents of a ballot that has been submitted, the person who has signed that ballot may (1) request that such ballot be withdrawn, (2) request that a duplicate ballot be issued, and (3) return the duplicate ballot fully completed. Each of these steps must be completed according to the procedures set forth above. III. Tabulation of Ballots • Which assessment ballots will be counted Only ballots which are completed and returned in compliance with these procedures will be counted. Ballots received by the City after the close of the public input portion of the public hearing on the proposed assessment will not be counted. Ballots which are not signed by the owner will not be counted. Ballots with no boxes marked, or with more than one box marked, will not be counted. Ballots withdrawn in accordance with these procedures will not be counted. The City will keep a record of each proportional or duplicate ballot mailed or otherwise provided to an owner and will ensure that only one ballot is tabulated for the parcel (or for the owner in the case of proportional ballots). The following rules will apply if more than one countable ballot for a parcel (or owner) has been returned. If a non-duplicate ballot has been returned, the City will count the non-duplicate ballot and disregard all duplicate ballots. If only duplicate ballots have been returned, the City will count the last duplicate ballot and disregard the earlier duplicate ballots. If an owner returns both a non-proportional ballot and a proportional ballot, the City will count the proportional ballot and disregard the non-proportional ballot. • When and where ballots will be tabulated The tabulation of ballots will be performed, in view of those present, at the public hearing following the close of the public input portion of the public hearing. The public hearing may be continued from time to time for the purpose of tabulating ballots. Ballots will not be unsealed until the tabulation begins. • How ballots will be tabulated Ballots may be counted by hand, by computer or by any other tabulating device. Ballots will be tabulated by adding the ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment and adding the ballots submitted in favor of the assessment. Ballots shall be weighted according to the proportional financial obligation of the affected property; provided, however, that proportional ballots shall be weighted in accordance with the respective ownership interests of each proportional ballot submitted. If one or more proportional ballots are returned for a parcel and a non-proportional ballot is returned for the parcel, the non-proportional ballot will either be ATTY/RES0.2986/CC RWC CBID RESO OF INTENT REV:06-04-14 PT Page 7 of 8
