AGENDA STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 10, 2013
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Victoria L. Beatley, Director of Finance/City Treasurer
SUBJECT: STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT NO. I
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6381 confirming the diagram,
assessment, and levying assessments for Street Lighting District No.1 for Fiscal
Year 2013-2014.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
At the May 13, 2013 City Council meeting, the Council adopted a resolution
initiating the annual levy of assessments, a resolution approving the Engineers
Report and a resolution of intention setting the date for the public hearing on
June 10, 2013.
Assessments for the District are being levied for the following improvements:
A) The maintenance and servicing of arterial street lights which
provide an area wide special benefit to all assessable parcels within
the district whether or not such parcels are in close proximity to
such lights; and
B) The maintenance and servicing of streetlights in close proximity to
certain lots and parcels that provides a local special benefit to such
lots or parcels.
The total assessment for each parcel reflects a combination of the area wide and
local special benefit received by the parcel. The amount of special benefit in
each category for residential parcels varies depending on the type of dwelling,
e.g. whether single family or multiple units. Non-residential parcels are assessed
an area wide special benefit based on square footage and a local special benefit
based on front footage.
The assessment for each parcel of property in the district is based upon the
benefit derived from street lighting. Total estimated costs for providing street
Agenda Item — H
lighting for 2013-2014 are $194,508, which includes utility costs of $184,500,
assessment engineer costs of $9,600, and City administration costs of $408.
The Reserve Fund is estimated to be $0 at June 30, 2013. Therefore, in order to
cover the estimated Fiscal Year 2013-2014 expenditures of $194,508, the total
revenues required are $145,804 in assessments plus a General Fund
contribution of$48,704.
Total assessments for 2013-2014 remain unchanged from prior years at
approximately $145,804. A comparison of the last two years' assessments to the
proposed assessment is summarized in the following table:
2011/12 2012/13 2013/14
Single family homes in College
Zone 1 Park East &West, the Hill & $21.86 $21.86 $21.86
Cove Areas
Zone 2 Single family homes in Old $11.26 $11.26 $11.26
Town
Zone 3 Leisure World Condominiums $1.21 $1.21 $1.21
Zone 4 Surfside 1 $4.15 1 $4.15 $4.15
Actual assessments may be found in the Engineer's Report on file in the Office of
the City Clerk.
Before the end of the hearing, any interested person may file a written protest
with the City Clerk, or, having previously filed a protest may file a written
withdrawal of that protest. A written protest shall state all grounds of objection.
Protest by a property owner shall contain a description sufficient to identify the
property.
State law requires that all interested persons shall be afforded the opportunity to
hear and be heard at the public hearing and that the Council shall consider all
oral and written communications. The statute allows Council Members to order
changes during the course of the hearing. These changes may relate to any of
the matters proposed in the report. All changes must be reflected in the
Resolution confirming the diagram and assessment.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The General Fund will need to make a contribution to the Street Lighting Fund
estimated to be $48,704. In the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2013-2014 a
transfer into the Street Lighting Fund of $48,704 has been budgeted and should
be adequate to bridge the gap between revenues generated by Street Lighting
District No. 1 and expenditures expected to be paid.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, staff requests the City Council adopt
Resolution No. 6381 confirming the diagram and assessment, as proposed.
Adoption of the resolution shall constitute the levy of the assessment for Fiscal
Year 2013-2014.
