Subject:ADOPT Resolution of Initiation ordering the preparation of an Engineer's Report for Countywide
Landscaping District for Fiscal Year 2012/2013
The Landscaping
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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 Fiscal Year 2012/2013 assessments in the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3
(LL-2) will be based on information in the Final Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year
2012/2013 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, and 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 2012/2013 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 2012, respectively, and a noticed public hearing will be held.
Currently, LL-2 Zone 75 is under review by LAFCO and in the future it may be
incorporated into the City of Martinez.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisors’ approval there would be no initiation of the process to
prepare the Engineer’s report and to assess levies for the Countywide Landscape District
AD 1979-3 (LL-2) for Fiscal Year 2012/2013 and thus funds would not be available to
maintain the landscaping and other improvements in the landscaping zones throughout
the County.
