City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution to approve the annexation of
territory and the levy of assessments for Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1

BACKGROUND
As a condition of approval of Assessor Parcel No. 2805-019-028, located at 26858 Ruether
Avenue, streetlight improvements are required. Leonard Widdes, hereinafter referred to as the
"Developer," has agreed to install or provide funds for all necessary on-site streetlight
improvements as required as a condition of the approval of the aforementioned parcel. The
Developer has signed a petition requesting the annexation of this streetlight maintenance into
Santa Clarita Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1 (District) as Annexation No. 2002-L33.
This annexation will provide for the continued maintenance of these improvements after they
are installed and accepted by the City.
On March 12, 2002, the City Council considered adoption of a resolution to initiate proceedings
for the annexation of territory into the existing streetlight district. At that time, the Developer
provided the City a signed and notarized petition and an assessment ballot giving approval to
the annexation of property into the District.
By signing the petition, the Developer has waived the time period for holding the public
hearing, the noticing, and the right to majority protest at the public hearing, and has submitted
an assessment ballot in favor of the annexation. Therefore, the public hearing for the
annexation can be held on the same date as the consent calendar item initiating the
annexation.
