Subject:Accepting the Preliminary Engineer’s Report for Countywide Landscaping District AD 1979-3 (LL-2) Fiscal
year 2011/2012
FISCAL IMPACT:
Cost of preparation of the Preliminary and Final Engineer’s Reports will be funded by the
Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) (100% funds).
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 (30) 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 updated Engineer’s Report
be prepared to set assessment rates each fiscal year. In addition, any new benefit zones or
annexations of additional property into an existing benefit zone also require an Engineer’s
Report to be generated. The Resolution of Initiation to prepare the Preliminary Engineer's
Report for the Countywide Landscaping District AD 1979-3 (LL-2) was accepted by the
Board of Supervisors on March 22, 2011.
The Fiscal Year 2011/2012 assessments in the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3
(LL-2) will be based on information in the Final Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year
2011/2012 tax roll. Assessments 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, dependent upon improvements and 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, if applicable.
The amounts that will be proposed to be assessed for the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 tax year,
in accordance with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, will be presented in the
Preliminary and Final Engineer’s Reports which will be filed with the Board of
Supervisors in May and June 2011, respectively, and a noticed public hearing will be
held on June 7, 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ accept of the Preliminary Engineer's report and the
proposed levies for the Countywide Landscape District AD 1979-3 (LL-2) for Fiscal
Year 2011/2012, funds would not be available to maintain the landscaping and other
improvements in the landscaping zones throughout the County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
