Pursuant to provisions of the Streets and Highways Code, Landscape and �ighting Act of 1972, the City of Colton after preliminary review of the Engineers reports is required to approve the final Engineers report. Herewith, attached is the 1997-98 annual tax levy for the LLMD No. 1. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS The District provides maintenance, service and operation of landscapes and lighting improvements and associated appurtenances located within the public right-o-way and dedicated landscape easements, which are throughout the City. As stated above, the District includes five (5) distinct Zones. Each Zone has specific improvement and services that provide special and direct benefit to the parcels within the Zones. The costs associated with the improvements are equitably spread between all benefiting parcels within the Zones. Only parcels that receive direct benefit from the improvements are assessed. Additionally, pag�e 8 of the Engineer's report was changed from the one presented on May 6, 1997. The amount to be levied is the same, however, contract services under "building and ground maintenance" was spread between salaries and benefits. With the approval of this Engineer's report and the annual budget, City stafF will hire and will be responsible for providing the maintenance within all the benefit zones. FINANCIAL IMIPACT The method of assessment spread is assessed on equivalent dwelling units (EDU) per parcel. Pursuant to the Act, the costs of the District may be apportioned by any formula or method that fairly distributes the net amount to be assessed. The formula used for each zone reflects the composition of the parcels, and the improvements and service providedl, to fairly proportion the costs. Therefore, the 1997-98 proposed assessment are the same as the 1996-97 levy. The proposed residential annual assessment for the existing Zones are; Cooley Ranch, $52.82; La Loma Hills $0; Old Colton, $53.56; Reche Canyon $50.62 and West Valley, $85.94. These monies are accounted for in fund 702. RECOMMENDATION Open the public hearing and accept testimony.
