City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution:
1. Ordering the Preparation of the Engineer’s Report for the Albright
Avenue Street Lighting Assessment District for Fiscal Year 2008/2009;
2. Declaring its Intention to Order the Levy of Annual Assessments for
Fiscal Year 2008/2009; and
3. Setting a Public Hearing for June 09, 2008, at 7:00 p.m. in the Mike
Balkman Council Chamber.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The property owners requested that the City finance the construction of five (5) new
streetlights on Albright Avenue. The City’s policy is to require property owners to
pay for the installation of new street lights, when requested by the property owners,
on streets that do not currently have street lights. In order to do this the City collects
the cost, including a fair interest payment through an assessment on the Los
Angeles County property tax bills for the benefiting properties. In this case the
assessment is being collected over a period of ten (10) years which commenced
with the tax bill for fiscal year 2005-2006. The interest rate that was approved was
4%. This is the fourth year that the City Council will consider the annual assessment
levy for the Albright Avenue Street Lighting Assessment District. The District costs
are assessed to the benefited eighteen (18) properties equally, as the benefit to
each property is the same. Each property will be assessed one-eighteenth (1/18) of
the total costs of the District.
