Thompson,Public Works Director EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Resolution directing Staff to prepare the Engineer's Annual Report the Street Lighting Maintenance Assessment District RECOMMENDATION: •' .Q'Y Adopt resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost to prepare the Engineer's Report is estimated at $2,600. This amount is budgeted in the Engineering and Public Works Operating Budgets 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 1997-98. 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, a public hearing will be scheduled as required. The street lighting assessment was reduced in 1996-97, as the energy and maintenance costs have been reduced by the City's acquisition of the street lighting system from PG&E. At the February 4th meeting, the City Council received a report regarding the requirements of Proposition 218, and it was determined that the street lighting assessment would be frozen for the 1997-98 fiscal year. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution.
