Should the Modesto City COuncil provide sewer service, after annexation, to that area of the Modesto Urban Area General Plan known as the "830-acre Village Residential Portion of the Hetch-Hetchy Comprehensive Planning District"(approximate gross acreage)?

Impartial Analysis from City of Modesto City Attorney
The City Council of the City of Modesto has directed that an advisory measure concerning the extension of sewer service,after annexation, to the "830-acre Village Residential Portion of the Hetch-Hetchy Comprehensive Planning District", be submitted to City of Modesto voters.

California Elections Code Section 9603 authorizes cities to hold advisory elections for the purpose of allowing voters to voice their opinions on substantive issues and by so doing, provides an opportunity for voters to indicate their approval or disapproval of a proposal to the City Council.

This advisory measure asks the voters to voice their opinion with respect to whether the City Council should provide sewer service, after annexation, to that area of the Modesto Urban Area General Plan known as the "830-acre Village Residential Portion of the Hetch-Hetchy Comprehensive Planning District"(approximate gross acreage) which is more fully described in the measure itself.

The outcome of the election will be canvassed and presented to the City Council as information concerning the opinions of the voters of the City regarding the provision of sewer service, after annexation, to this described area. However, the outcome of the election with respect to this measure, shall not bind the Council to act in any particular way with respect to either providing or not providing sewer service to the described area.

You should vote "YES" on this measure if you want to advise the City Council that you are in favor of providing sewer service, after annexation, to the "830-acre Village Residential Portion of the Hetch-Hetchy Comprehensive Planning District"(approximate gross acreage).

You should vote "NO" on this measure if you want to advise the City Council that you are not in favor of providing sewer service, after annexation, to the "830-acre Village Residential Portion of the Hetch-Hetchy Comprehensive Planning District"(approximate gross acreage).

These votes are advisory only. According to Section 9603(c), advisory votes express general voter opinion but do not bind the sponsoring legislative body to act.
s/Susana Alcala Wood, City Attorney
