COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA MATTER:
ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. _____-2025 - INTENTION TO DISESTABLISH PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 83-1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council established Public Improvement District 83-1 on March 19, 1985, to provide sewerage facilities to areas of West Barstow. Given that the facilities have now been constructed, the District is no longer necessary and should be dissolved. The first step is to adopt a Resolution of Intention to Disestablish the District and the matter will then return to the City Council at the July 15, 2025 meeting for further action.
DISCUSSION:
On January 21, 1985, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2679-85, declaring its intention to form a public improvement district. Thereafter, on March 18, 1985, by adoption of Resolution No. 2689-85, the City Council created Public Improvement District 83-1 (the “District”) pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 and ordered assessments against the approximate 1,376 parcels within the District’s boundaries. The District assessed landowners in West Barstow for related costs of providing the sewerage improvements, appurtenances, and appurtenant work. On April 22, 1985, by Resolution No. 2702-85, the City Council authorized the issuance of bonds to represent and be secured by certain unpaid assessments. Since its inception, staff has diligently used the funds provided by the assessments to construct the anticipated sewer line, identified by three sections: Lenwood Interceptor, Sun ‘N Sky Interceptor, and the Lenwood Road Interceptor. Given the District has constructed the required facilities, has no outstanding debts, and no remaining funds, it is appropriate to dissolve the District.
The City Council must first pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the District, which is attached as Exhibit A. Then, the resolution will be published and sent to affected property owners. The matter will return to the City Council at the July 15, 2025 meeting, where the Council can hear from any members from the public as to the proposed dissolution. The City Council will then have the opportunity to vote to disestablish the District via resolution. The resolution will then be recorded against the properties within the District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact for this item as the assessments have all been used for the required facilities.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the following actions:
1. Discuss and adopt the attached Resolution of Intention to Disestablish PID 83-1 (Exhibit A)
2. Direct staff to move forward with the disestablishment procedures and schedule a public hearing for the July 15, 2025 City Council meeting.
