Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: On July 29, 2003, Council approved formation of the Power Inn Road Maintenance District No. 2003-01 (District) under the California Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (California Streets and Highways Code § 22500 et seq.) (1972 Act). The 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 Exhibit A for a map of the District). The landscaped corridor is designated as the area between the separated sidewalk and the curb and gutter.
Pursuant to the 1972 Act, an Engineer’s Annual Report for the District (Report) is required to be prepared for City Council review and approval. The Report describes the improvements to be maintained by the District and recommends the assessments to be collected to fund such maintenance. The Report has been prepared and filed with the City Clerk as Exhibit C to the attached Resolution, as directed by the City Council on March 24, 2026 (Resolution No. 2026-0077). Council approval of the Report is now required before the City can collect assessments in an amount sufficient to provide partial funding for landscape maintenance costs of the District for FY2026/27. The Council must also adopt a Resolution of Intention for its levy and collection of assessments for the District and then hold a hearing at a future date to formally confirm the assessments.
The District funds only a portion of the total cost of providing landscape maintenance services to the District. The Report separates the benefits of the District between “special benefits” to the assessed parcels and “general benefits” that do not directly benefit those assessed parcels. Only special benefits can be funded by District assessments. Analysis of the District amenities shows that assessed parcels in the District receive 74.25% of the benefit from the improvements. This percentage is the special benefit provided by the District. The remaining amount must be funded from other sources. The funding sources and budget are detailed in the Financial Considerations section below and in Exhibit B to the Resolution.

EnvironmentalConsiderations
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): Under the CEQA Guidelines, continuing administrative activities of an assessment district and creation of government funding mechanisms or other governmental 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)).

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: The recommended Council action supports funding for landscape maintenance services in the District via property-based assessments. The recommended Council action is also necessary to allow staff to notify the public of the proposed hearing, which has been set for June 9, 2026. At the conclusion of the public hearing, staff will recommend Council adopt the budget and levy the assessments.
End
FinancialConsiderations
Financial Considerations: The total estimated expense budget for the District in FY2026/27 is $21,678 as shown in Exhibit B and detailed in the Report. Pursuant to the Report, $16,096 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 operating budgets of the Department of Public Works, Streets Division and the Department of Finance, Infrastructure Finance Division.
Pursuant to previous Council action authorizing automatic annual increases to the District’s maximum authorized assessment amount (Resolution No. 2003-356), the maximum authorized assessment amount for the District is automatically increased for FY2026/27 by 2.18% based on the percentage increase in the prior calendar year annual average of the Consumer Price Index - San Francisco Area (All Urban Consumers). The proposed assessment for FY2026/27 of $3.438 per linear foot of frontage is a 2.18% increase from the FY2025/26 assessment of $3.365 per linear foot of frontage. The proposed FY2026/27 assessment is the maximum allowed assessment for FY2026/27. The proposed increase is necessary to maintain service levels and adequate reserves to cover extraordinary maintenance.
