f7[a;ze'r:�iliAl�7
Currently, the Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance Districts consists of 3 districts
with 35 individual zones. These zones are located throughout the City and were
established to fund the maintenance of various landscaped facilities in these areas.
Each year, as a procedural matter, the proposed assessments 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, which is available for review
in the City Clerk's office. The Engineer's Report outlines the details of the individual
zones including the annual maintenance budget, list of parcels included in the zones,
and the assessment per parcel in each zone. All proposed assessments will be at the
same rate as last year, but will be increased by 3.3% for the cost of living as provided
for in Proposition 218.
In order to approve the annual levy of assessments for Fiscal Year 2002/2003, the City
Council will need to approve the initial resolution calling for an Engineer's Report
detailing the annual levy and a public hearing on the report. At the public hearing,
set for June 25, 2002, the City Council will consider adopting a resolution approving
the final Engineer's Report and authorizing the annual levy. Assessments will then
be placed on the County tax rolls for collection by the County for distribution to the
City.
Agenda Item:
All current zones and their current proposed levy of assessments for Fiscal Year
2002/2003, were established with 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 will be required for the annual levy of assessments.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1. Do not approve the annual levy.
2. Other direction as determined by City Council
FISCAL IMPACT
The annual levy of assessments currently covers the expected expenses for all current
districtstannexations. All proposed assessments will be at the same rate as Fiscal
Year 2001/2002, but will be increased by 3.3% for the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
adjustment for the cost of living.
