    Services Plan and Report.

    1.

    Services Plan. Each fiscal year the board shall approve by resolution on or before June 30 of the previous fiscal year a services plan which indicate which of the authorized services are proposed to be provided within each zone of benefit within CSA No. 3 during the ensuing fiscal year and the manner in which those services will be provided, including but not limited to, provision by county employees, contract with other public agencies, or contract with private vendors.

    2.

    Report.

    a.

    Preparation and Filing of Report. Following the adoption of the services plan described in subsection (A)(1) of this section, the board shall cause to be prepared and filed with the clerk of the board on or before July 10 of the fiscal year in question a written report which shall contain a description of each parcel of real property receiving each particular service and the amount of the assessment or charge for such parcel computed in conformity with this chapter.

    b.

    Notice of Hearing on Report. Upon the filing of the report, the clerk shall fix a time, date, and place for hearing thereon and for the filing of objections or protests thereto. The date of such hearing shall be on or prior to August 10 of the fiscal year in which the services will be provided. The clerk shall publish notice of such hearing at least once a week for two successive weeks, as provided in Government Code Section 6066, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county of Napa. To the extent required by Section 4 of Article XIIID of the California Constitution and/or Government Code Section 54954.6 and in accordance therewith, the clerk shall also give written notice by mail to the record owners of all parcels of real property subject to the proposed assessments.

    B.

    Action on the Report. At the time, date, and place stated in the notice of hearing on the report, the board shall hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the report and may continue the hearing from time to time. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the board may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify downward any assessment or charge and shall make its determination upon each assessment or charge as described in the report. Such revisions, changes, reductions, or modifications shall be made only to correct factual errors in the calculation pertaining to estimated service costs, property uses, building square footage, street frontage, acreage, or the location of a parcel within or without the zone of benefit for a particular service for the ensuing fiscal year. The board shall then, by resolution, confirm the report as so modified and order the assessments and/or charges as described therein to be levied and collected as provided in this chapter.
