Agenda Items /'V-7 STREETLIGHT MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 ANNEXATION NO. 2002-1,42, CITRUS STREET PARKING LOT ANNEXATION NO. 2002-1,43, 22833 COPPERHILL DRIVE November 26, 2002 — Page 2 These annexations will provide for the continued maintenance of streetlights surrounding the properties. On November 26, 2002, the City Council considered adoption of two resolutions to initiate proceedings for the annexation of territories into the existing District. At that time, the Developer provided the City with a signed and notarized petition and an assessment ballot giving approval to the annexation of the properties 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. Annexation No. 2002-L42, Citrus Parking Lot, was not required to install streetlights because surrounding streetlights were sufficient. The Citrus Parking Lot does benefit from these surrounding streetlights, therefore, they are required to annex into the Streetlight Maintenance District No. 1. The resolution annexes Assessor Parcel Nos. 2861-009-004 and -006 as Annexation No. 2002-1,42 and Assessor Parcel No. 3244-032-018 as Annexation No. 2002-L43 into Streetlight Maintenance District No. I. The proposed annual lighting maintenance assessment is as follows • Annexation 2002-L42: $150.00 per lot • Annexation 2002-L43: $100.00 per lot Currently, there are two proposed lots in Annexation No. 2002-L42 and one existing lot in Annexation No. 2002-L43. The annexation of these territories is in compliance with Proposition 218. ALTERNATIVE ACTION Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The annexation of these territories will ensure collection of future assessments from these properties, which will offset the expenses incurred by the installation of the necessary streetlights for this project. This annexation will provide for the continued maintenance of these improvements after they are installed and accepted by the City.
