CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT City Council Meeting Date: March 13, 1995 SUBJECT: Authorization to Prepare Engineer's Report Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-2 (Tract 4719) Report by: Public Works Director Lee Thompson EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Resolution directing Staff to prepare the Engineer's Annual Report for Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 83-2. RECOMMENDATION Adopt resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost to prepare the Engineer's Report is approximately$700. This amount is budgeted in the Engineering Operating Budget and is paid by the Assessment District. DESCRIPTION: As part of the review and approval of the 150-unit single-family Dublin Hills Estates development and the Amador Lakes development, certain landscaping maintenance was made a condition of approval. This maintenance assessment district provides the funds for this work. The District's boundaries include all of Tract 4719. It maintains all of the Stagecoach Road landscaping and the "interior slope" landscaping within Tract 4719. In 1989, the City Council deleted Stagecoach Park from this assessment district, and the City now bears the cost of maintaining this small park. 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. 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 1995-96. 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 report, public hearings will be scheduled as required. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution. g:lassessdist183-21agstl • ITEM NO. 444 COPIES TO: CITY CLERK } FILE I LIMO M O • RESOLUTION NO. -95 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN DIRECTING PREPARATION OF ANNUAL REPORT FOR LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 83-2 WHEREAS, on January 23, 1984, by its Resolution No. 11-84, this City Council initiated proceedings, and by Resolution No. 10-84, ordered the formation of City of Dublin Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District No. 83-2, ("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.
