For each assessment district, annual assessments will remain the same as last year. RECOMMENDATION 1. Open and hold a Public Hearing to receive comments regarding the levy of annual assessments for each of the Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Districts. 2. Adopt a resolution confirming the Engineer's Report, and levying assessments for each of the Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Districts. 3. Appropriate $11,560 from the applicable City Funds (General Fund, Water Fund and Sewer Fund) to the respective Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Districts. FINANCIAL STATEMENT There will be a small fiscal impact to the City as a result of Proposition 218. As the City determined that the nearly mile-long landscape strip that is located along the eastern bank of the Arroyo de la Laguna in the Ponderosa Homes Del Prado subdivision is of "general benefit", the City will pay approximately $9,703 for its maintenance including water, electrical, and a reserve for emergency repairs. In addition, the City owns one or more parcels of land in four of the five Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Districts (Districts). These parcels contain various City utilities, such as water tanks, sewer lift stations, and water pump stations. The City will pay approximately $17 for the parcel in District 1984-1, $253 for the parcel in District 1993-2, $466 for the parcel in District 1994-1, and $1,121 for the two parcels in District 1995-1. Staff recommends appropriating $10,746 from the General Fund for the parcels including the Arroyo de la Laguna, the park parcel in District 1984-1, the sewer lift station parcel in District 1994-1, and the staging area in District 1995-1; and appropriating $814 from the Water Operating Fund for the water tank in District 1993-2 and the water tank in District 1995- 1. It is staff's intention to continue administering contracts with private contractors for the maintenance of these districts.
