DISCUSSION:
On July 28, 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 83-09, approving the formation of the new Landscape and Lighting District and the founding Engineer’s Report, establishing the rate of assessment, authorizing annual increases thereof, and ordering maintenance services within the Marina Bay Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (District). The rate of assessment for this District must be confirmed annually by action of the City Council.
In accordance with Section 12.60.240 of the Richmond Municipal Code, and in accordance with State law, the first step in this process is to order the preparation of an Engineer’s Report of assessment for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. The Engineer shall prepare a report that describes any proposed new improvements or any substantial changes in existing improvements. As required by Section 12.060.250 of the Richmond Municipal Code, a copy of the report and a property owner response form will be mailed to all owners of real property subject to the annual benefit assessment as a subsequent part of the process. The City Council will be asked to hold a public hearing and accept the Engineer’s Report to then finalize the process.
