TRANSFER OF STREET LIGHTING MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS
February 24, 1998 - Page 2
The next week, staff was notified that these resolutions were not acceptable to County Counsel
until minor revisions were made. Those revisions included deleting the numerical amount of
the reserve as referenced in Resolution No. 97-124 and adding the word "available" when
referring to the transferrable fund balance. Additionally, Section 6 of Resolution No. 97-124
was deleted in its entirety, as irrelevant to the district transfer process. On November 12, 1997,
the amended resolutions were sent to the CLMD for County Counsel's review. The City
received written verification of County Counsel approval on January 6, 1998.
The County would continue to administer the District.
