' STREET UGH? DISTRICT NO. TNG 1 AND LANDSCAPING CITY MGR.~EG ~~ -~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council hold public hearing and receive public comments. Approve Resolution No.,%-LfA adopting annual benefit assessments for a benefit area. TEM EXPLANATION: At the Jw.e 26,1990, meeting, Council approved Resolutions No. 90-204,90-205, and 90-206 which directed the Utilities & Maintenance Director to submit an Engineefs Report; approved the Engineefs Report and set a public hearing. The purpose of the hearing is to accept public comment and consider approval of staff's recommendations to levy assessments to fund sn:et lighting and landscape services in FY90-91. The City's Street Lighting District was formed in 1983 according to provisions of the Streets and Highways Code known as the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. The costs of maintaining the City's street lights are funded from assessments to each property owner based on benefit. Last year, Council approved the addition of two landscaping zones to the original district; a median maintenance zone and a tree trimming maintenance zone. The additional zones are being phased into the total assessment financing over a three year period. Fiscal year 1990-91 is the second year of the phase in program with the General Fund contributing one third (1/3) of the maintenance cost for each landscaping zone and thc remaining two thirds (21'3) is being spread through assessments. The approve.! Engineer's Report contains a complete description and cost analysis of the street lighting and landscaping services to be performed. fie Street iighting and Landscaping Maintenance District total budget is $1,544,205.00. The budget consists of the programs: 1) Street Light Maintenance; 2) Street Tree Maintenance; and 3) Median Landscape Maintenance. fie street lighting program budget is $761,826.00. The projected fund balance at the end of FY 89-90 was approximately $300,00.00. It was recommended in the Engineer's Report that this fund balance be reduced by $135,000.00 and apportioned to FY 90-91 expenditures. The fund balance includes energy deposits for new developments and provides for four (4) months of operations. The total assessment spread this year is $52,344.00 more than last year ($569,926.00 vs. $517,582.00) due to an increased number of City maintained street lights and a projected six percent (6%) SDG&E increase. The average increase per benefit assessment parcel is 6.3%. The street tree program budget is $609,404.00. A total of $348,803.00 will be spread through assessments. The benefit cost to an average residential unit will be $26.67, or $14.86 higher than fiscal year 89-90. The median maintenance program budget is $172,957.00. A total of $115,300.00 will be spread thorough assessments. Benefit cost to an average residential parcel will be $2.78 or $1.52 higher than fiscal year 89-90. (See the approved Engineer's Report for budget breakdowns and method of spread formulas.) .. Thus, of the total budget of $1,544,205.00; $1,034,029.00 will be spread through 90- 91 assessments; $232,059.00 will be funded by the General Fund; and $135,000.00 will be funded by the District fund balance. An average single family residence that receives all three services (street lighting, street tree maintenance, and median landscape maintenance) will receive an cissessment of $63.47 for FY 90-91, this is $18.41 more than FY 89-90. 1.
