As part of the review and approval of the 145-unit single family development (Ridgecreek) and the other, multifamily Villages, certain landscaping maintenance was made a condition of approval. In lieu of forming a homeowners' association to perform landscape maintenance, the developer requested formation of this assessment district.

The City Council approved formation of this District on November 10, 1986, with the initial assessment in the 1987-88 tax year. The City incurred new, more stringent noticing requirements for 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. Staff will continue the practice of mailing detailed notices to property owners in this assessment district and will hold an informational meeting prior to the public hearing for the purpose of discussing maintenance activities and costs with the property owners. This resolution authorizes the City Engineer to begin preparation of the required Engineer's Report for the Assessment District for FY 1994-95. The procedure for establishing annual maintenance assessments requires that the City Council first authorize preparation of the report. The preliminary report is then brought back to the City Council for approval later in the year. Following the City Council's approval of the preliminary report, two public hearings will be held regarding the proposed assessment. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution. a:(ad)186-11 agst1 i ITEM NO. 4, 4 COPIES TO: CITY CLERK FILE I RESOLUTION NO. -94 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN DIRECTING PREPARATION OF ANNUAL REPORT FOR LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE.ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 86-1 WHEREAS, on November 10, 1986, by its Resolution No. 128-86, this City Council initiated proceedings, and by Resolution No. 129-86, ordered the formation of City of Dublin Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 86-1, ("the District") pursuant to the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (commencing at Section 22500 of the California Streets and Highways Code) (hereinafter, "the Act"); and WHEREAS, Sections 22620 et seq of the Act provide for the levy of annual assessments after formation of the District; and WHEREAS, within said District, the existing and proposed improvements and any substantial changes proposed to be made to the existing improvements are generally described on Exhibit A attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Dublin City Council does hereby - designate the Dublin City Engineer as Engineer for purposes of preparing and filing with the Clerk a written report in accordance with Section 22565 et seq of the Act; said Engineer is hereby directed to apportion said assessments in accordance to the benefits received from said improvements by the lots, pieces and parcels of land within the District, and said Engineer is hereby directed to accomplish such preparation and filing forthwith.
