Item to be presented by:L- Curtis L. Nay
DATE: June 26, 2001
SUBJECT: ORDERING THE CONTINUED MAINTENANCE OF SANTA
CLARITA STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 AND
THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2001/2002
DEPARTMENT: Transportation & Engineering Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution ordering the continued
maintenance and the levy of assessments for Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District
No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2001/2002.
BACKGROUND
On June 12, 2001, the City Council approved a resolution ordering the Engineer's Report,
determining the necessary assessments, and calling for a public hearing as they relate to
Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (District).
The public hearing for this District was set for June 26, 2001. If the assessments are
approved at this public hearing, they are then transferred to the County for placement on
the County tax rolls. If the assessments are not approved at the public hearing, the City
will lose the ability to place the assessments on the County tax rolls for Fiscal
Year 2001/2002. The City will have to manually invoice all parcels within the District or
not collect assessments for the coming year.
This District includes all parcels included in the original district assumed from the County.
Also included are approximately eight new annexations to the existing District, which have
been accepted by the City.
Assessments will not be collected on the annexations that have not installed streetlights or
have been accepted for maintenance.
In accordance with Proposition 218, "The Right to Vote on Taxes Act," any increase in the
annual assessments requires that all property owners affected must vote on the new
assessments. There will be no increases in the assessments for the District, including all
annexations covered by the attached resolution for Fiscal Year 2001/2002. Therefore, there
is no need to notify the property owners by mail.
