RECOMMENDATION: • 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: A survey of property owners prior to last year's public hearing indicated a preference to allow the assessment to increase according to the Consumer Price Index. If the assessment is to increase, State Law requires a 45-day notice to property owners and two public hearings prior to levying the assessment. Staff has annually provided a detailed notice, a newsletter, and an informational meeting for property owners in this District. This resolution authorizes the City Engineer to begin preparation of the required Engineer's Report for the Assessment District for FY 1996-97. 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.
