This agenda item presents the staff recommendation to set the time and date for the annual Public Hearing on benefit assessments to meet FY 2026-27 debt obligations.
Attached to this agenda item is a report entitled "Flood Control Benefit Assessments for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2029-30 (April 2026)" (Attachment 1) for the Board's consideration to establish the flood control benefit assessments for FY 2026-27.

Actual rates will be determined once annual land use information is received from the Santa Clara County Tax Assessor in July 2026.
