RECOMMENDATION: � Adopt resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost to prepare the Engineer' s Report is approximately $2,500. This amount is budgeted in the Engineering Operating Budget and is paid by the Assessment District. This cost is estimated to be slightly higher than in past years to cover staff time for the additional public hearing and an increase in material and data processing costs. 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. As with the Street Lighting Assessment District, this request is being made several months earlier than in the past because of newly adopted regulations regarding assessment districts. SB 1977 mandates that local jurisdictions provide 45 days' notice and two public hearings prior to enacting any new or increased tax assessments, as opposed to the former requirement of ten days' notice and one public hearing. The deadline for submitting the assessments to the County Auditor is the same as in past years (mid-August) ; therefore, budget preparation and the hearing process must take place earlier. 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 1992-93. 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 Spring. Following the City Council's approval of the report, two public hearings will be held regarding the proposed assessment. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution.
