- 1995-1996 RENEWAL - ORDERING OF
ENGINEER'S REPORTS
SUMMARY: To extend the various Maintenance Districts for the 1995-
1996 fiscal year in accordance with State law, the City
Council l,s initial step in the annual renewal process is the
ordering of the Engineer's report.
BACKGROUND
Since the City formed various Maintenance Districts pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting
Act of 1972, a specific, procedure must be followed for annually renewing these districts.
The first step is for the City Council to adopt resolutions ordering the Engineer's Report for
each district. Staff, utilizing the services of BSI Consultants, prepares plans and
specifications for improvements, an .estimate of costs, an assessment diagram and assessment
spread for the estimated costs, then files these reports with the City Clerk's office. The
second step is for the City Council to review the reports. If the reports are approved, 'the
City Council then adopts a resolution of intention for each district and sets public hearings
for a date no later than] August 1, .1995. After the public hearings, the City Council may
then confirm the reports and authorize the Assessor's office of the County of Los Angeles to
collect the assessmentsi Since 1993, State law requires a greatly expanded public notification
process for any increases in assessments, including mailed notices to all property owners,
more extensive newspaper publication and review of proposed assessments at two public
meetings.
ANALYSIS
The ordering of these reports is in accordance with Article 4, Chapter 1, Part 2,
"Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972", being Division 15, Streets and Highways Code of
the State of California.
The City Attorney has approved as to form the resolutions ordering the Engineer's reports to
be prepared and filed with the City Clerk's office.
FISCAL IMPACT ,
These four districts are not financed by the General Fund. There has historically, been" a
General Fund subsidy ("contribution") to the Citywide District. Cost estimates based upon
the projected operating and capital budgets for the districts are prepared. Based upon these
cost estimates, including incidental expenses and contingencies, assessments are
recommended that are sufficient to recover all eligible costs.
