Subject:Accepting the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for Countywide Landscaping District AD 1979-3 (LL-2) Fiscal
Year 2010/2011
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the County General Fund. Implementation of the proposed
Countywide Landscaping District assessments for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 revenue will be
approximately $1,400,000.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed assessments for the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) are
for the purpose of maintaining existing facilities within the various benefit zones. The
existing Countywide Landscaping District contains thirty-two (32) zones comprised of
chiefly frontage and median landscaping and park and recreational facilities installed by
developers in conformance with their Conditions of Approval.
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an annual review and updated
Engineer’s Report be prepared to set assessment rates each fiscal year. In addition, any
new benefit zones or any annexation of additional property into an existing benefit zone
also requires an Engineer’s Report to be generated. The Fiscal Year 2010/2011
assessments in the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) Preliminary
Engineer’s Report will be assessed on the Fiscal Year 2010/2011 tax roll and are
calculated by considering all anticipated expenditures for maintenance, utilities and
administration. Any excess dollars from previous fiscal years are carried over to current
reports and the assessment amounts are adjusted accordingly. The assessment rates may
or may not change from fiscal year to fiscal year, dependant upon maintenance to be
performed, but cannot exceed the maximum amount set when the benefit zone was
originally formed, plus an annual cost of living adjustment. The amounts being assessed
for the Fiscal Year 2010/2011 tax year are either at, or below the maximum assessment
authorization. As a part of the process, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972
requires that an Engineer’s Report must be filed and a public hearing be held.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, funds will not be available to maintain the
landscaping and other improvements in the zones.
