BACKGROUND
In June 2009, the West Washington Assessment District (District) was formed to:
1. Fund annual costs associated with five new landscaped medians installed on Washington Boulevard between Beethoven and Rosabell Avenue; and
2. Fund annual costs with the refurbishment of six medians between Rosabell Avenue and Wade Street.
Annual costs include landscaping maintenance, utilities (water and electrical), County fees, and administration of the District. The annual costs are funded by the assessment district and collected as an assessment.
Pursuant to a Resolution adopted by the City Council on March 27, 2026, an Engineer’s Report was prepared for the District and filed with the City Clerk. A copy of the Engineer’s Report is attached to this report for the City Council’s consideration.
DISCUSSION
The City Council is asked to adopt a Resolution of Intention (1) approving the Engineer’s Report; (2) declaring the City’s intention to levy and collect assessments for the upcoming fiscal year; and (3) setting the date, time and place for the public hearing as required by the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC) Section 15.01.070.
Should the City Council adopt the proposed resolution of intention, pursuant to CCMC Section 15.01.070.G, the City Clerk will notice the public hearing by publishing the Resolution of Intention at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. The public hearing is scheduled for June 22, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. in the Mike Balkman Council Chambers at City Hall. Instructions on how to attend the meeting will be included in the published notice.
Staff is working with the Public Works and Parks, Recreation and Community Service Departments to repair and replant the medians between Beethoven Street and Meier Street. Funding for a portion of this work will be carried over from the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget.
