SUBJECT: Off -Agenda Items for July 19, 2005
The Executive Director of the CDC has requested that four items pertaining to
the levy of annual assessment for two assessment districts be added to the
agenda. The two assessment districts — Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
(Mile of Cars), and the Downtown National City Property Business Improvement
District were formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972.
The Act requires that an Assessment Engineer prepare a report describing the
plans and specifications for improvements within the district, an estimate of the
cost of the improvements, a diagram for the assessment district, and an
assessment of the estimated costs of the improvements. After approving the
Engineer's report, the Council must schedule a hearing to consider the proposed
assessments, and to hear any protests. If the assessments are approved by the
City Council, a resolution of approval must be filed with the County Auditor by
August 15, 2005.
Due to the August 15 deadline and the noticing requirements for the public
hearing, the City Council must approve the Engineer's Report, and schedule an
August 2 hearing, at this evening's meeting.
These matters may be added to the agenda upon a motion, approved by a 4/5
vote, that the need to take action arose after the agenda was posted. If this
motion is approved, the Council will be asked to approve the following
resolutions:
Landscape Maintenance District No. 1
