| Mayor and City Council
| FROM:
| Stefan T. Chatwin, City Manager 
| | SUBJECT: | Resolution 2020-67 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Granting Preliminary Approval of Engineer’s Report, Declaring Intention to Order Levy and Collection of Assessments and Providing for Notice of A Hearing Thereon for Maintenance District No. 8 – Kolob Estates (CONFLICT FOR PRICE) |
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Adopt resolution. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | | The adoption of this resolution will grant preliminary approval of the fiscal year 2020-2021 Engineer’s Report for Maintenance District No. 8 – Kolob Estates for the levy and collection of assessments, set the date for the public hearing, and provide for notice thereof. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | The City formed this special district to provide a funding source for the maintenance of the landscaping and lighting improvements within the Kolob development area. This district was formed under the State of California Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.
The preliminary approval of the engineer’s reports is the first step in the process of levying the annual assessments. Final approval of the assessments requires a public hearing, which has been scheduled for the June 16, 2020 City Council meeting. The process of approving the annual assessment amounts is subject to the provisions of Proposition 218. This district has adopted assessment ranges and assessments may be adjusted as required within the specified range without requiring a Proposition 218 vote of the property owners.
The assessment for Kolob Estates is proposed to remain at $400.00 per parcel for fiscal year 2020-2021, which is near the top of the district’s adopted assessment range of $300.00 - $419.42. The total assessments collected from the property owners for the next fiscal year will be approximately $52,000. The special projects for this district include landscape renovation.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | | The proposed revenue for this district includes assessments of $52,000, interest of $1,235, and a General Fund (Fund 011, Division and Responsibility Code 99000) contribution of $1,040 for a total of $54,275. The City’s General Fund contribution will cover the cost of street lighting, which has been determined to be a general benefit to City residents rather than a special benefit to the Kolob Estate residents. The City’s contribution is made in accordance with Resolution 91-213B and appears on the General Fund contribution line of the district’s budget. |

|
| | | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVE ACTION | | If City Council has any questions, this request may be delayed so that staff can provide the necessary backup. However, not approving this Resolution will prevent the City from collecting assessments for the 2020-2021 tax year. |
