Thompson, Public Works Director EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Resolution directing Staff to prepare the Engineer's Annual Report for Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Assessment District 97-1. RECOMMENDATION: opt resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost to prepare the Engineer's Report is approximately $1,450. This amount will be expended in the Public Works Administration and Engineering Operating Budgets and will be paid by the Assessment District. DESCRIPTION: This assessment district would fund street landscape maintenance and utility costs for the Santa Rita development area. This area is bounded by Arnold (Sebille) Road on the west, Gleason Drive on the north, Tassajara Road on the east, and Interstate 580 on the south. The scope of work includes maintenance of roadside landscaping for Dublin Boulevard, Hacienda Drive, the "transit spine" (Central Parkway), a portion of Arnold (Sebille) Road, Tassajara Road (westerly portion), and a portion of Gleason Drive,plus the maintenance of the trail and landscaping along the Tassajara Creek channel. The median landscape maintenance is not included in this District. This assessment district was formed in 1996 at the request of the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, which was the only property owner in the District at that time. The initial assessment was levied in the 1997-98 fiscal year; however,the improvements were not accepted by the City and no monies were spent for maintenance. Consequently,the assessment for the 1998-99 fiscal year was set at zero. The assessment for 1999-2000 is expected to be determined according to the formula set forth in the Engineer's Report. This resolution authorizes the City Engineer to begin preparation of the required Engineer's Report for the Assessment District for FY 1999-2000. 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,public hearings will be scheduled as required. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution.
