BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
property into an existing benefit zone also require an Engineer’s Report to be generated.
The Fiscal Year 2013/2014 assessments in the Countywide Landscaping District 1979-3 (LL-2) will be based on
information in the Final Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 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 2013/2014 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 2013, respectively, and a noticed public hearing will
be held.
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 2013/2014
and thus 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.
