FINAL ENGINEER'S REPORT
TO THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FOR ESTABLISHING
A STREET LIGHTING SERVICE CHARGE
FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2001/2002
INTRODUCTION
The Board of Supervisors, on October 31, 1978, instructed the Public Works Director to develop an alternate
means to supplement ad valorem tax to fund street lighting in County service areas. This report recommends
levying of a street lighting charge as provided in the County Service Area Law, Government Code, Sections
25210.1 and following, and in accordance with Ordinance No. 79-42, adopted by the Board of Supervisors on
March 27, 1979.
FUNDING SOURCE FOR STREET LIGHTING
The two principal revenue sources for funding street lighting within County Service Area L-100 are:
1. L-100 street lighting charges; and
2. Property taxes.
RATIONALE FOR STREET LIGHTING
Street lighting benefits all property owners within the County Service Area L-100 who are provided this service.
The degree of benefit is determined by the use of the land of each individual parcel, the intensity of illumination
provided, the number of pedestrians generated by the land use, and the enhanced security during hours of
darkness. It is assumed that similar land uses will receive similar benefits. As an example, all single dwelling
units are assumed to receive the same benefit and, further, the single dwelling unit establishes the basis for the
street lighting service charge; hence, multiple dwelling units, containing 2, 3 and 4, etc., units, are assumed to
receive increased benefits as the number of dwelling units increases.
The factors used to establish street lighting service charges for the various land uses are shown on the attached
Exhibit A. Exhibit A also lists the recommended street lighting units be class of property based on the intensity
of street lighting, pedestrian and security factors, as well as the total units for each class.
The service charges are uniform for County Service Area L-100 (CSA L-100). The total funds required by CSA
L-100 is the aggregate of the estimated utility costs to energize the lights, the administrative overhead, and a
percentage for unforeseen contingencies. The basic unit rate for each services area is computed by dividing the
total fund requirements by the total units in the service area. The street lighting service charge for a parcel is the
basic unit rate times the number of units for the class of the parcel.
Exhibit C shows the street lighting service charges and total revenue by County Service Area L-100. Exhibit D
shows every parcel number within a County Service Area L-100, the class of land use for each parcel number,
and the basic street lighting services charge to be assessed.
