Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On July 29, 2003, Council approved formation of the Power Inn Road Maintenance District No. 2003-01 (District). This District provides funding for the maintenance of the landscaped corridor located along the frontage of lots adjacent to Power Inn Road between 14th Avenue and the Regional Transit overcrossing located just south of Folsom Boulevard (see Attachment 4, Exhibit A). The landscaped corridor is designated as the area between the separated sidewalk and the curb and gutter.
The California Streets and Highways Code requires that an annual report be presented to Council for approval. Approval of the annual report and budget will authorize the City to collect assessments in the amount sufficient to provide partial funding for maintenance of the landscaped areas adjacent to the parcels within the District.
The District funds only a portion of the total cost of providing maintenance services to the District. The Engineer’s Report separates the benefits of the District between “special benefits” to property and “general benefits” to society at-large. Only special benefits can be funded District assessments. Analysis of the use of District amenities shows that properties in the District represent 74.25% of those benefitting from the improvements. This percentage is the special benefit provided by the District. The remaining amount must be funded from other sources. The sources and budget are detailed in the Financial Considerations section and on Exhibit B to the Resolution (Attachment 5).
Policy Considerations: The recommended action supports funding for landscape maintenance services in the District via property-based assessments.
Economic Impacts: None
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 California Streets and Highways Code, as set forth in Section 22500 of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, for annual proceedings of an existing district.
Financial Considerations: The total estimated expense budget for the District in FY2019/20 is $18,254 as shown on Exhibit B and detailed in the Engineer’s Report on file with the Public Improvement Finance Division of the Department of Finance designated by the City Clerk to be the repository of documents associated with special districts. Pursuant to the Engineer’s Report, $13,554 of assessment revenue can be used to fund special benefits. The remaining portion of the maintenance, utilities, and administrative costs, attributed to general benefit and detailed in Exhibit B, will be provided by the Department of Public Works Streets Division and the Department of Finance Public Improvement Finance Division operating budgets.
The proposed assessment of $2.634 per linear foot of frontage, is a 3.87% increase from last year’s assessment of $2.536 per linear foot of frontage and is 6% below the maximum allowed assessment of $2.801 per linear foot of frontage for FY2019/20. The proposed assessment is being increased to address rising maintenance and administrative costs for this District, while maintaining adequate reserves to cover extraordinary maintenance.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
