be scheduled as required.
The proposed resolutions (Attachments 1-5) authorize the City Engineer to begin preparation of
the required Engineer's Reports for the two street lighting maintenance assessment districts and
the three landscaping and lighting maintenance assessment districts described below for Fiscal
Year 2015-2016.
