SEC. 1515. ALTERNATIVE OR ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE FOR ESTABLISHING A PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT – REQUIRING WEIGHTED TWO-THIRDS VOTE.

   (a)   If so provided in the Resolution of Intention and the Resolution to Establish, as an alternative or additional procedure for establishing a business and property improvement district and levying assessments on business owners, the Board of Supervisors may require a weighted two-thirds (2/3) vote of the business owners proposed to be assessed, based on ballots cast. The votes shall be weighted according to each business owner's estimated assessments in relation to the total estimated assessments proposed to be levied on all business owners in the proposed district. The vote shall not be effective unless business owners representing at least 50 percent of the total estimated assessments proposed to be levied on all business owners in the district cast ballots.

   (b)   The Board of Supervisors hereby finds and determines that the business owners proposed to be assessed, with votes allocated as provided in subsection (a), constitute the "electorate" for purposes of Article XIIIC § 2(d) of the California Constitution as and to the extent that provision applies to the levy of assessments on businesses pursuant to this Article.
