statement declaring the present intention of the governing body to
refrain from removing or modifying any such restriction in the
predictable future.

ten dollars ($10) may be charged for each such statement.
(c) The written statement may be presented to the county board of
equalization as evidence that a restriction on the use of the

presumption that the governing body does not intend to remove or
modify the restriction in the predictable future.
