"Shall the order adopted on [Date] by the Board of Directors of the Castro Valley Sanitary District ordering the annexation to said District, subject to terms and conditions, of the territory described in said order and designated therein as [Distinctive Short Form Designation] be confirmed? Said terms and conditions include payment of those charges provided for in Section 4202 of the District Code [or alternately, payment of those charges established in accordance with the provisions of Section 4203 of the District Code], all as more particularly described and set forth in said order, which charges are to provide uniformity in spreading the burden of the overall cost of the sewer system of the Castro Valley Sanitary District so far as possible and to cover that portion of the cost of enlarging trunk lines, outfall sewers, and treatment facilities to serve the annexed area which the Sanitary Board does not consider to be appropriately paid out of the general funds of the District."

Consent to the payment of the charges provided by Section 4202 or Section 4203 of this Code shall be deemed given by the favorable vote of a majority of the electors voting upon the question of confirmation of the order for annexation.
