Th
at the City Council:

3. Direct the City Clerk to record this resolution with the Fresno County Office of the Auditor- Controller.

EXE
CUTIVE SUMMARY:

The
City of Sanger has two Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance Districts that were established to maintain city parks, landscaped areas, block walls, and streetlight operations and maintenance. Sanger Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (LLMD No.1) was established in 1990 and was amended with the passage of Proposition 218 in 1997. The funds associated with the assessment of $29 collected in LLMD No. 1 are used primarily to offset the costs associated with street lighting.

F-2
2022-49
200
On M
arch 17, 2022, the Council initiated the proceeding to collect the assessment and directed the City Engineer to prepare the appropriate required detailed Engineer’s report. On April 21, 2022, the City Engineer’s report was approved and the public hearing was set for June 16, 2021. The attached resolution authorizes the levying of a $29.00 assessment as defined in the Engineer’s Report. The rate remains unchanged and the same as the previous year.

BACK
GROUND:

In 1990,
the Council established the Sanger Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1, for the purpose of maintaining all City parks, landscaped areas and streetlights. The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, California Streets and Highways Code Section 22500 et. seq. was designed to allow local governments the ability to collect assessments to defray the cost of maintaining street lighting, city landscaping and parks. These costs were recognized as costs which directly benefit property owners by increasing the value of their property. Adequate street lighting increases safety and decreases crime. Well- kept parks and landscaped areas enhance the quality of life in neighborhoods and directly affect the marketability and value of property.

Unt
il 1990, street lighting, park and landscaping maintenance costs were borne by general property taxes.

However, this type of service is more appropriately considered a direct benefit to the property that is served, and a less appropriate use of general property tax funds.

Af
ter limitations were placed on the amount of taxes which could be collected in 1978, (Proposition 13), many cities began using the Landscaping and Lighting Act to properly divide costs which should be borne by the property owner from costs to be paid for by general taxes. The Sanger City Council at the time recognized the need for the funding and implemented the Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD).

Due
to the passage of proposition 218 in November of 1997, limitations were placed on eligible maintenance costs, specifically the differentiation between a special benefit and a general benefit. Due to this proposition, the LLMD assessment was reduced by 67% resulting in reduced revenues to the Gener al Fund of approximately $170,000.

The
attached resolution authorizes the levying of a $29.00 assessment as defined in the Engineer’s Report.

The rate remains unchanged and the same as the previous year.

REAS
ON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The
LLMD No. 1 assessment is utilized to offset the costs of streetlight and right-of-way maintenance and operations within the established LLMD No.1 area. Street lighting and well-maintained landscaping increases safety and the quality of life and directly affects the actual property values of homes and businesses located in the City of Sanger.

FI
SCAL IMPACT:

An
ticipated revenues generated from the special assessment will be approximately $140,969.00.

ALT
ERNATIVES:

Th
e alternative is to eliminate the assessment and absorb the expenditures into the appropriate division budget.
201
ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL:

St
aff will prepare the necessary documents to forward to Fresno County to place the assessment data on the 22/23 Tax Roll.

On April 21, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-36, accepting the Engineers report, and approved Resolution No. 2022-37, a Resolution of Intention.
