RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the levy and collection of annual assessments for the West Washington Benefit Assessment District No. 1 and ordering the preparation of the Engineer’s Report thereon for Fiscal Year 2016/2017.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City assisted in the formation of Benefit Assessment Districts along the West Washington Boulevard corridor by agreeing to construct landscaped medians along West Washington Boulevard, if on-going maintenance for the improvements is funded through a property owner approved assessment district. The West Washington Benefit Assessment District No. 1 was approved by vote of the property owners. Pursuant to Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Section 15.01.070.C, the proposed Resolution describes any proposed new, or changes in existing, improvements or services, or both, and orders the preparation and filing of the Engineer’s Report.
Pursuant to CCMC Sections 15.01.070.D and 15.01.070.E, should the City Council adopt the proposed Resolution, the Director of Public Works/City Engineer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) the Engineer’s Report. Upon its completion, the Engineer’s Report shall be filed with the City Clerk, and the City Council shall be presented with a Resolution of Intention declaring the City Council’s intent to levy the assessments for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 and set the date, time and place for the public hearing, after which the City Council will consider levying the assessments.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Both the costs to prepare the Engineer’s Report and staff time related to the administration of the Assessment District are charged to the Assessment District. These costs are estimated to be $4,000. Sufficient funds have been collected in the Assessment District to fund these costs.
