City Manager Approval
SUBJECT: VALENCIA INDUSTRIAL CENTER TRAFFIC SIGNAL REIMBURSEMENT
INTEGRATED FINANCING ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 92-5 '
Ordinance No. 93-18
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
On August 24, 1993, a public participation meeting was held in compliance with Government Code
Section 54954.6 to hear public testimony regarding the District. The Integrated Financing District
was formed to create a District to spread the cost and provide a reimbursement mechanism for the
Installation of three traffic signals within the Valencia Industrial Park.
Three developers responded, stating that they had already paid their signal fees. Those developers
who have previously paid an estimated fee will receive either a partial refund or a credit toward the
total assessment, depending on the prior amount paid.
Newhall Land and Farming, the principal developer in the District, also responded. Their concerns
were positive and centered more on the future reimbursement agreement and Engineer's Report.
Suggested revisions for the Council's consideration to the Engineer's Report will add additional
language to clarify Section 11, "Cost Estimates," which will not change the substance of the section.
Section 111, "Explanation of Fees," will have a clause added relating to an escalation factor In the
fees should the signals be Installed In future years when prices may be higher, and Section IV,
"Boundaries of District," reflecting any assessor number changes due to parcel splits.
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, Introduce Ordinance No. 93-18, confirming the District, along
with the approval of the reimbursement agreement. The action will then pass to a second reading
of the Ordinance at the September 28, 1993 Council meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT - None to the City.
Conduct the public hearing, and introduce Ordinance No. 93.18, approving the final Engineer's
Report and Negative Declaration.
