City of Culver City, California
Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution initiating proceedings for the
levy and collection of annual assessments for the Albright Avenue Streetlight
Assessment District and ordering the preparation of the Engineer’s Report thereon
for Fiscal Year 2012/2013.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The property owners requested that the City finance the construction of five (5) new
streetlights on Albright Avenue, south of Washington Place. The City’s policy is to
require property owners to pay for the installation of new street lights requested by
the property owners. In order to do this, the City collects the cost, including an
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 eighth year
that the City Council will consider the annual assessment levy for the Albright
Avenue Street Lighting Assessment District.
Pursuant to Section 15.01.070( C ) of the Culver City Municipal Code (CCMC), the
proposed resolution presented to the City Council this evening describes any
proposed new, or changes in existing, improvements or services, or both and
orders the Public Works Director/City Engineer to prepare and file the Engineer’s
Report. As mentioned above, the amount of the assessment is expected to remain
the same as prior years as there is no proposed new or change to existing
improvements or services.

Agenda Item Report
Pursuant to Sections 15.01.070(D) and (E) of the CCMC, should the City Council
adopt the proposed resolution, the Public Works Director/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 2012/2013 and set the date, hour, and place for
the public hearing after which the City Council will consider levying the
assessments for said Fiscal Year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
It is expected that preparation of the Engineer’s Report will take a short amount of
time as the improvements related to the assessment district were installed some
years ago. Further, since no new or change to existing improvements is under
consideration, it is expected the Engineers Report will conclude no change in
assessment is needed for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. The costs associated with the
preparation of the Engineer’s Report are considered to be minimal and will be
absorbed in existing appropriations.
