IssueDetail
Issue Detail: Sacramento City Code Chapter 3.124 and the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code § 22500 et seq.) require that the City Council order the preparation of an annual engineer’s report for City maintenance assessment districts (Districts) and order the filing of such report with the City Clerk.
Districts formed under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972:
• Citywide Landscaping and Lighting District
• Village Garden Landscape Maintenance District
• Power Inn Road Maintenance District
• Neighborhood Landscaping District
• Neighborhood Lighting District
Districts formed under the City Code Chapter 3.124:
• Willowcreek Maintenance Assessment District
• Northside Subdivision Maintenance District
• Laguna Creek Maintenance District
• Neighborhood Water Quality District
The Districts were formed to provide various maintenance and operations improvements such as street landscape and lighting, park, open space, drainage basin, and wetlands maintenance, as well as water quality programs. More detailed descriptions of the services and improvements provided in each district, and the individual annual budgets, will be brought to Council for approval over the next few months.
The recommended action to direct the filing of the annual engineers’ reports with the City Clerk is the first step in the process of ordering the maintenance and levying the assessment. The individual annual reports for each district will be brought later to City Council for approval pursuant to Section 22623 of the Streets and Highways Code and Section 3.124.190 of the Sacramento City Code.
