Inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District will provide for the maintenance of parks and/or street landscaping. For an area where a park has been cons tructed and/or street landscaping has already been installed, the area will be under the park and streetscape zones of benefit and will be assigned appropriate tier levels during the next annual update. For an area where a park and/or street landscaping ha s not been installed, the area will be assigned appropriate tier levels when improvements are constructed.
The addition of these areas to the Consolidated Maintenance District is not prohibited by Proposition 218.
The City of Bakersfield has received letters from the owners of the properties listed above which waives the public hearing concerning inclusion in the Consolidated Maintenance District. This allows the City to expedite the maintenance district process to satisfy subdivision requirements. The o wners also have submitted a Proposition 218 ballot indicating consent to the assessment.
In order to provide future property owners with disclosure regarding the inclusion of land in the Consolidated Maintenance District and the estimated maximum annual cost per equivalent dwelling unit, a covenant has been drafted and will be recorded with the Kern County Assessor-Recorder’s Office upon approval of this resolution.
