With the assessment of one city-owned parcel, the City will pay $252.91. The cash reserve for the District has nearly been depleted. City staff continues to work closely with the maintenance contractor in order to reduce water use and to increase the efficiency of landscape maintenance operations. Despite this, an increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in order to continue the maintenance standards of the District and the consultant fees for the Proposition 218 analysis. The Engineer's Report projects that $9,680.27 will need to be borrowed this year from the City's General Fund to cover projected maintenance costs and the consultant fees for the Proposition 218 analysis, thus increasing the deficit of the reserve fund. The $9,680.27 loan from the General fund will be recovered when the annual assessment is increased.
