1. Following notice duly given, the City Council has held a full and fair Public Hearing regarding the Gonzales Industrial Park Landscape Maintenance Assessment District, the levy and collection of assessments, the Engineer’s Report prepared in connection therewith, and considered all oral and written statements, protests, and communications made or filed by interested persons regarding these matters.

a. The land within the identified District will receive special benefit by the operation, maintenance, and servicing of improvements located in public places within the boundaries of the District; and
b. The District includes all of the lands so benefited; and c. The amount to be assessed upon the lands within the District in accordance with the fee for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 is apportioned by a formula and method which fairly distributes the net amount among all eligible parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each parcel from the improvements and services.
3. The City Council hereby confirms the diagram and assessments as set forth in the annual report of the Engineer of Work and hereby levies the assessments set forth therein for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 within the park landscape maintenance assessment district.

Such funds are ordered to be used for the maintenance, operation and servicing of the improvements, and any and all other items of work necessary and incidental to the proper maintenance and operation thereof, as described in the Engineer’s Report.
5. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file a certified copy of the diagram and assessments with the County Auditor of Monterey County no later than August 1, 2024, who shall thereafter enter upon the county assessment roll opposite each lot or parcel of land the amount assessed thereupon, as shown in the assessments.
