EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Under the CEQA Guidelines, continuing administrative activities of a maintenance benefit area and creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment do not constitute a project and are therefore exempt from CEQA review (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378(b)(2), (b)(4)).

Rationale for Recommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: The purpose of the maintenance benefit areas is to recover City costs incurred for providing additional services above City standard services, including additional street sweeping, cleaning of building facades, additional trash collection, and weed control.
End
FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: The total of all service fees for property owners in the Old Sacramento Maintenance Benefit Area for FY2026/27 is projected at $70,060, as shown on Exhibit C to the attached resolution. The service fees are charged based on a combination of property front footage, parcel area, and structure area. The proposed fees for FY2026/27 are the maximum allowed for the Old Sacramento Maintenance Benefit Area and are unchanged from FY2025/26, as they are not subject to annual inflation adjustment.
The proposed service fee rate for the 12th Street Maintenance Benefit Area No. 2008-02 for FY2026/27 is $5.34 per linear foot of the property frontage on 12th Street. This is an increase of $0.22 per linear foot compared to FY2025/26 and is the maximum allowed in the District. The total of all service fees is projected at $20,412, with an expense budget of $28,059 as shown on Exhibit B to the attached resolution. The assessment in FY2026/27 is less than the projected budget due to increased service costs. The difference will be supported with the use of available fund balance. The amount charged to the property owners is proposed to be approximately $427 per year for a typical 80-foot-wide parcel.
