PUBLIC HEARING City Manager
Item to be presented by: Curtis L.
DATE: June 25, 2002
SUBJECT: ORDERING THE CONTINUED MAINTENANCE OF SANTA
CLARITA STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 AND
THE LEVY OF ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002/2003
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 2002/2003.
BACKGROUND
On May 28, 2002, 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 the District was set for June 25, 2002. If the assessments are
approved at this public hearing, they are then transferred to the County of Los Angeles 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 2002/2003. 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 thirty-six (36) 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 not 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 increase in the assessments for the District, including all
annexations covered by the attached resolution for Fiscal Year 2002/2003. Therefore, there
is no need to notify the property owners by mail.
