Staffreport
SUMMARY
On October 6, 2025, the GHAD Board initiated proceedings for the dissolution of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) and set a Public Hearing for November 17, 2025.
During the Public Hearing, property owners will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed dissolution and submit their ballots. Ballots will be counted and the results announced. If not more than 50% of the property owners - weighted by assessed real property valuation - object to the dissolution, the GHAD Board may proceed with the dissolution proceedings. If the GHAD Board votes to dissolve the GHAD, the decision must be confirmed by a written approval of more than 50% of the property owners - weighted by assessed property valuation - within 90 days of the date of the public hearing.
If the GHAD is dissolved, responsibility for ongoing and future slope repairs and maintenance within the GHAD would transfer to the individual property owners. If the GHAD is not dissolved, it cannot continue to operate without funding; however, the GHAD Board could consider a property assessment to restore necessary GHAD functions and responsibilities.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff, acting as an agent for the GHAD, recommend that the GHAD Board conduct the Public Hearing, receive public comments, and tabulate ballots regarding the proposed dissolution. Following all ballot procedures and guidelines, the GHAD Board will determine whether to proceed with the GHAD dissolution.
