RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND
In August 2019, the West Washington Benefit Assessment District No. 3 (District 3) was approved by vote of the property owners to help fund the future maintenance of seven proposed medians on Washington Boulevard between Beethoven Street and Glencoe Avenue.
Construction of the medians was initially delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then due to a redesign of the affiliated stormwater project. The stormwater project is partnership between Economic Development and Public Works to provide grey water irrigation for the medians from collection cisterns located near Glencoe Avenue.
Pursuant to a Resolution adopted by the City Council on March 27, 2026, an Engineer’s Report was prepared for District 3 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, 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.
The project started construction in 2025, and the medians are scheduled to be completed by Fall 2026. The proposed budget includes a pro-rata estimate to fund landscaping, water, electrical and administrative costs to maintain the new improvements for Fiscal Year 2026/2027.
