Director of Administrative Services /Treasurer
SUBJECT: Street Lighting Assessment District No. 1
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff recommends City Council adopt the attached resolution confirming the diagram,
assessment, and levying assessments for Street Lighting District No.1 for Fiscal Year 2006/2007.
BACKGROUND:
At the May 22, 2006 meeting, City Council adopted a resolution initiating the annual levy of
assessments, a resolution approving the Engineer's Report and a resolution of intention setting
the date for the public hearing on June 26, 2006.
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 provide 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 unit.
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 lighting for 2006/07 is $150,500, which
includes utility costs of $136,000, maintenance cost (removal, repairs, and replacements) of
$5,000, and assessment engineer costs of $9,500. The Reserve Fund is estimated to be $124,524
at the end of June 30, 2006. The Reserve Fund was originally established to provide sufficient
District Funds to cover six months of estimated District costs until receipt of the first installment
of assessments from the County in January. The Reserve Fund is fully funded to cover this
expense. Therefore, in order to cover the estimated fiscal year 2006/07 expenditures of $1 50,500,
Agenda Item w
the total revenues required total $143,544 in assessments plus a reserve fund contribution of
$6,956.
Total assessments for 2006 -07 remain unchanged from prior years at $143,544. A comparison of
the last two years' assessments to the proposed assessment is summarized in the following table:
2004/05 2005/06 2006/07
Zone 1 Single family homes in College Park
East & West, the Hill & Cove Areas $21.86 $21.86 $21.86
Zone 2 Single family homes in Old Town $11.26 $11.26 $11.26
Zone 3 Leisure World Condominiums $1.21 $1.21 $1.21
Zone 4 Surfside $4.15 $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 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.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund for FY 2006/2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, staff requests the City Council adopt the resolution
confirming the diagram and assessment, either as originally proposed or as revised. Adoption of
the resolution shall constitute the levy of the assessment for Fiscal Year 2006/2007.
