This amount is budgeted in the Engineering Operating Budget and is paid by the Assessment District. DESCRIPTION: This assessment district was established in 1983 to replace the County Service Area which had paid maintenance and energy costs for public street lights within the City of Dublin. This resolution authorizes the City Engineer to begin preparation of the required Engineer's Report for the Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District for FY 1995-96. , The City incurred new, more stringent noticing requirements beginning in Fiscal Year 1993-94, which mandate that local jurisdictions provide 45 days' notice and two public hearings prior to enacting any new or increased tax assessments. The requirement for making a general mailing to all property owners has, however, been changed to a requirement for publication of 1/8 page newspaper ads at least 45 days prior to the public hearing. The procedure for establishing annual maintenance assessments requires that the City Council first authorize preparation of the report. A preliminary report is then brought back to the City Council for approval later in the year, once the District budget has been formulated. Following the City Council's approval of the preliminary report, public hearings will be scheduled as required. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution. g:lassessdist183-11agst1 I ITEM NO. 4,3 COPIES TO: iCITY CLERK FILE 151!?
