SUBJECT: Street Lighting Assessment District
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Staff recommends City Council adopt the attached resolution confirming the diagram and assessment
and levying assessments for Street Lighting District No. 1 for fiscal year 2003/2004.
BACKGROUND:
• At the May 12, 2003 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 9, 2003.
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 base on square footage and a local special benefit based on
front footage.
Total estimated costs for FY 2003/04 is $265,875, which includes utility costs of $140,000,
maintenance cost (removal, repairs, replacements) of $12,250, administrative costs of $15,000,
assessment engineer costs of $9,500, City Attorney costs of $500 and a reserve fund of $88,625. At
• the end of this fiscal year, the estimated surplus for the assessment district is $127,439. Therefore, the
proposed assessment has been established at $145,671. ,p
