In 1983, the City Council formed a Citywide Street Lighting Assessment District to replace the County of Alameda Lighting . Service Area. On August 13, 1984, the City Council approved the annual Engineer's Report and ordered levy ofassessment$ for the first time. In 1995-1996, the City of Dublin and other agencies in Alameda County took possession ofPG&E-owned street lights in order to reduce maintenance costs. The 1996- 1997 assessments were reduced ftom the 1995-19961eveJ of$19.34 by 30"10. For 2002.2003. the assessment was increased fton\ $13.26 to $16.84 in order to fund increased utility costs and the first two years of a phased six-year Capital Improvement Project to replace deteriorated poles in older subdivisions. The first phase of the pole rep1acement project was completed in Fiscal Year 2002-2003 at a cost that was less than originally anticipated. The second phase of the project, which was included in the proposed Capital hnproveJ:ßent Program for 2003-2004, was also funded from this Street Light Maintenance AsseliSIIlent District. While the third year of the pole replacement project was funded entirely by the General Fund, it is proposed to allocate $75, 000 from AsseliSIIlent District 83-1 funds to pay a portion of the cost of the fourth and finaJ year of the project in 2005-06. Areserve of approximately $108,664 is projected to remain at the end ofFisea1 Year 2005-2006. This reserve is less than the amount allowed by State Law, which pennits a reserve of up to 50"10 of the operating cost for the District. Sta1f recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions approving the preliminary Engineer's Report and setting a public hearing date of July 19, 2005, for the purpose of hearing protests to the proposed 2005-2006 assessment. . . :;... 66 ~ e .
