DESCRIPTION: This assessment district funds energy and maintenance costs for the
City's street lighting system, except for the lighting being installed in Dublin Ranch and Tract 7067, which
is funded through the Dublin Ranch Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District. 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 of assessments for the first time. In 1995-96, the City of Dublin and other agencies in Alameda
County took possession of PG&E-owned street lights in order to reduce maintenance costs. The 1996-97
assessment was reduced from the 1995-96 level by 30%.
For Fiscal Year 2000-2001, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determin/ng the
assessments. The assessment for a single-family house is estimated to be $13.26, which is the same as the
1999-2000 assessment. As shown on page 5 of the Engineer's Report, the assessment for a commercial
property is a factor of 5.5 multiplied by the single family rate or $72.93 multiplied bythe acreage of the
property. Vacant parcels pay One half the rate of developed parcels.
It is proposed t0use a portion of the reserve in this District to pay the cost of street lighting associated
with the Freeway Underpass Artwork Capital Improvement Project, in the amount of $50~000.
The estimated reserve balance remaining after Fiscal Year 2000-2001 expenditures is $89,921. It is
recommended that this reserve continue to be earmarked for future pole replacement. The City's older
street light poles were inspected during Fiscal Year 1999-2000, and six of these were corroded to the point
that replacement was warranted. Over 400 of the City's steel pole street lights exceed 30 years of age, and
it is anticipated that more of these poles may need to be replaced in the near future. The estimated cost of
replacing an individual pole is estimated to be $1,300, including PG&E disconnect and reconnect charges
for the overhead feed lines. The total expenditure to replace all of the poles would therefore total over
$500,000.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the resolution
approving engineer's report, confirming diagram and assessment, and ordering levy of assessment
