A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JACINTO, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO LEVY AND
COLLECT ASSESSMENTS WITHIN LANDSCAPING, LIGHTING AND
PARK DISTRICT NO. 1 AND GIVING NOTICE OF AND SETTING THE
TIME AND PLACE OF THE HEARING ON THE LEVY OF THE
PROPOSED ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026
WHEREAS, on June 16, 1992 the City Council of the City of San Jacinto, (“City”) authorized the formation of Landscaping, Lighting, and Park District No. 1 (the “District”) pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code (the “Act”), for the maintenance and servicing of street lights, landscaping, parkways and median islands; and
WHEREAS, in November 1996, the voters of the State of California passed Proposition 218, which added Article XIIID to the California Constitution requiring, among other things, new procedures for the approval of the levying of assessments against real property; and
WHEREAS, Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires that assessments comply with stated procedural and approval provisions by July 1, 1997, unless an assessment district meets certain exemptions as set forth in Section 5 of Article XIIID, which exemptions include the following:
“(a) any assessment imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs or maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage system or vector control.”
“(b) any assessment imposed pursuant to a petition signed by the persons owning all of the parcels subject to the assessment at the time the assessment is initially imposed;” and
WHEREAS, the District assessments proposed for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 are exempt from Proposition 218 because the assessments are either general revenue for the operation and maintenance of street and highways, all expenditures thereunder qualifying as street maintenance as defined by the State of California, or the assessments were approved by the property owners on June 16, 1992, originally imposed prior to the passage of Proposition 218; and
Resolution No. 4075
WHEREAS, the Act also requires that the City comply with certain procedural and approval procedures before levying its annual assessments under an existing assessment district; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of this Resolution, among other things, is required in order to levy the proposed assessments for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for the District; and WHEREAS, by said Resolution, the City Council ordered NBS, the company designated by this Council as the Assessment District Engineer, to file a report with the City Clerk in accordance with the Act; and
WHEREAS, NBS has filed such report with the City Clerk, and such report has been presented to and was considered by the City Council.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, determined and ordered by the City Council of the City of San Jacinto, California, as follows:
Section 1. The City Council hereby declares its intention to levy and collect assessments for the District during the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 pursuant to the Act.
