San Pablo Street Lighting and Landscape
Assessment District No. 1982-1
2022-23 FY
1 INTRODUCTION
In 1982 the City Council of the City of San Pablo adopted its Resolution No. 82- 81 forming the “City of San Pablo Street Lighting and Landscape Assessment District No. 1982- 1” (“the District”). The District was formed pursuant to the provis ions of the California Streets and Highways code section 22500 through 22679. This section of the code is known as the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972” and is hereafter referred to as the “Act .” On November 6, 1996 the citizens of San Pablo overwhel mingly adopted Measure J approving of the continuation of the levy and collection of assessments within the District. Assessments have been levied in each year since formation. Since 1996, assessment rates have remained the same.
The boundaries of the D istrict are identical to the City incorporation line and all parcels within the City are in the District. The District currently provides funding for the service and maintenance of street lighting, street trees, sidewalk repairs, medians, street sweeping , and the maintenance of John Davis Park, Kennedy Plaza, Wanlass Park, Rumrill Park, San Pablo Youth Soccer Field among a few other small park facilities . Also included is the maintenance of recreational buildings including the buildings at Davis Park, Map le Hall, Wanlass Park and the Senior Center and the cleaning, sandblasting and painting of walls and other improvements to remove or cover graffiti. The District’s annual maintenance cost is approximately $1.4 million. A reduced print of the Assessment Diagram and Map of Improvements is included as Figure 1. The full-size diagram and map is folded and bound with the report on file with the City Clerk.
Since the adoption of Measure J, the City has installed and constructed a number of landscaping, lighting, park and recreation improvements throughout the City. These improvements have been completed pursuant to the City’s General Plan dated August 1996, the five -year Capital Improvement Plan and the Street Tree Planting Master Plan dated August 1995.
Assessments are levied in accordance with the estimated special benefits received by each parcel respectively from the improvements. The method of assessment is essentially the same as the method approved by the Council upon formation of the Distri ct in 1982 and modified by the Engineer and Council respectfully between 1983 and 1995 to reflect changes and addition in the scope of the improvements. Since the adoption of Measure J in 1996, assessments per parcel have not been increased above the amounts set for th in the report approved by that measure. Any future proposed increase in assessments would require a special report, mailed ballot and public hearing proceeding pursuant to Section 4 of Article XIII D of the State Constitution and State Law.
The undersigned being duly appointed as Engineer of Work for the San Pablo Street Lighting and Landscape Assessment District No. 1982- 1, City of San Pablo, Contra Costa County, California, makes this report for the 2022- 23 fiscal year (FY) , as directed by the City Council, pursuant to Section 22585 of the Act .
