Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Neighborhood Lighting District (District) is required by the California Streets and Highway Code to present an annual budget to City Council for approval. Approval of the annual budget will authorize the City to collect assessments in the amount sufficient to provide funding for maintenance and energy costs of neighborhood lighting in the District (Attachment 5, Exhibit A) for FY2019/20. Additional information on this District is provided in the background section of the report (Attachment 2).
Policy Considerations: The recommended action will ensure the continuation of an affordable means of providing neighborhood lights by maintaining lights on Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD) wood poles.
Economic Impacts: Not applicable.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Under CEQA Guidelines, administration of the District does not constitute a project and is therefore exempt from review [14 Cal. Code Regs. §15378(b)(2) & (5)].
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: The action in the recommended Resolution is required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (1972 Act), California Streets and Highways Code Sections 22500, et. seq., for annual proceedings of an existing district.
Financial Considerations: The District assessment for FY2019/20 is projected at $45,808 and District expenditures at $43,586. Revenues that exceed projected expenditures will be used to maintain a prudent fund balance. Projected revenues and expenditures for FY2019/20 are shown in Exhibit B to the Resolution Approving Engineer’s Report (Attachment 6) and detailed in the Engineer’s Report on file with the Public Improvement Financing Division of the Department of Finance, which is designated by the City Clerk to be the repository of documents associated with special districts.
The District consists of three subdivisions. Details of the assessment and cost for each subdivision, as well as a breakdown per single family lot, are provided in Attachment 6, Exhibit B. The District is self-supporting and has no impact on the General Fund.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
