RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution (1) approving the Engineer’s Report, (2) declaring the City Council’s intention to levy and collect assessments for the West Washington Boulevard Assessment District No. 2, and (3) setting the time, date and place for a Public Hearing on June 14, 2021, via video conference.
BACKGROUND
In July 2010, the West Washington Assessment District No. 2 (District) was formed to fund the maintenance of three new landscaped medians between Centinela Avenue and Boise Avenue. The District has remained in place since.
On April 12, 2021, the City Council adopted a resolution adopting an Engineer’s Report for the District. A copy of the Engineer’s Report is attached for consideration by the City Council.
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 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 14, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. via video conference. Instructions on how to attend the meeting will be included in the published notice.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2021/2022 estimates the annual maintenance costs for water, electricity, administrative services and landscape maintenance at $19,057. Approximately $17,629 remains in the FY 2020/2021 Improvement Fund account (No. 42516520). It is recommended that unspent funds be carried over and used to reduce the FY 2021/2022 levy during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the proposed levy for FY 2021/2022 is approximately $1,427.
