RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct the public hearing, adopt the resolution, and approve the
Engineer's Report for the annual levy of assessments and continued maintenance of
Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District Numbers 1, Tl, and T1A for Fiscal
Year 2001/2002.
BACKGROUND
Currently, the Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance Districts consist of 33 individual
zones or annexations. These areas are located throughout the City and were
established to fund the maintenance of various landscaped facilities. The assessments
for these zones range from $4.34 to $87.66 per parcel, per month, and will increase
annually by the established consumer price index, which is 3.3% this year.
Each year, the proposed District's budgets for the coming fiscal year are presented to
the City Council for approval at two sessions. At this time, the Council is presented
with an annual Engineer's Report giving the details of the individual zones and
annexations including the annual maintenance budget, list of parcels included in the
zones/annexations, and the method of assessments on the parcels. All proposed
assessments will be at the same rate as last year, but will be increased by the cost of
living as provided for in Proposition 218.
On May 22, 2001, Council adopted Resolution No. 01-51 calling for the annual
Engineer's Report detailing the annual levy of assessments and a public hearing on
the report. At this public hearing, the City Council will consider public input on
adopting a resolution approving the final Engineer's Report and authorizing the
annual levy. Upon approval by City Council, assessments will be placed on the
County Tax Rolls for collection by the County for distribution to the City,

Agenda 0-14X
All current zones/annexations, and their current proposed levy of assessments for
Fiscal Year 2001/02, have received property owner approval and are therefore in
compliance with Proposition 218, the "Right to Vote On Taxes Act" as provided by
Article XIIID of the California Constitution.
No noticing, other than posting of a notice of public hearing by the City Clerk, or
assessment ballots is required for the annual levy of assessments.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Do not approve the annual levy of assessments.
Other direction as determined by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual levy of assessments, totaling $5,739.777.31, currently cover the expected
expenses for all current districts/zones. All proposed assessments will be at the same
rate as last year, but are proposed to be increased by 3.3% for the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) adjustment for the cost of living.
