RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt the resolution initiating proceedings and the resolution approving the
Engineer's Report and declaring the City s intention to levy of annual assessments for the Open
Space Maintenance District (Golden Valley).
BACKGROUND
As a condition of the approval of the Golden Valley Ranch Development, the formation of an
open space maintenance district was required. In November 2003, Council approved the
formation of an open space maintenance district. The open space area consists of approximately
920 acres of natural, undeveloped open space within the Golden Valley Ranch Development.
Each year, the District's proposed budget for the coming year is presented to the City Council for
approval at two sessions. At this time, the Council is presented with an annual Engineer's
Report, the annual maintenance budget, and a list of parcels with method of assessment within
the District's boundaries. None of the proposed assessments will be increased over the maximum
amount authorized for this District.
In order to levy assessments, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires the City Council
to approve an Engineer's Report and conduct a public hearing. Adopting the two resolutions will
initiate the legal proceedings, approve the Engineer's Report, and establish a date for the public
hearing.
