CITY OF STOCKTON
STOCKTON CONSOLIDATED STORM DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 2005-1 VERONA ESTATES - ZONE 16
The City of Stockton proposes to annex territory into an existing municipal improvement district, initiate special assessment proceedings for the annexation and formation of Verona Estates, (Zone 16), and assess annual storm drainage operation and maintenance costs to the benefiting parcels in Zone 16; and The storm drainage improvements to be maintained in Zone 16, as described in Exhibit A, will serve the property within Zone 16 in accordance with the subdivision’s development agreement between the owner and the City; and The public interest and conveniences will be served by the proposed proceedings; and These proceedings finance the ongoing maintenance, repair, replacement, and operation of the storm drainage improvements in Zone 16, installed or to be installed by the owner at no cost to the City of Stockton. Annual costs will be assessed to benefit lots and parcels based on adjusted drainage acres, as calculated each year by the appointed engineer. The engineer will submit an annual budget and assessment roll to the City Clerk and City Council for approval, in accordance with Article 5 of Division of the City Improvement Procedure Code; and Under the authority of the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 and the Stockton Improvement Procedure Code, the City Council intends to annex territory to a municipal improvement district and form Zone 16 to fund the annual repair, replacement, maintenance, and operation of storm drainage improvements through annual assessments on benefiting parcels within Zone 16; and The City Council finds that the land specially benefited by the storm drainage improvements is shown on the map titled “Proposed Amended Boundaries (Verona Estates Annexation) of Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1,” on file with the City Clerk and presented at this meeting. This area shall be designated as the “Verona Estates Annexation, Stockton Consolidated Storm Drainage Maintenance Assessment District No. 2005-1”; and The City Council desires to designate an Engineer of Work; and Pursuant to Article XIIID, Section 4 of the California Constitution, publicly owned properties benefiting from the improvements must pay a proportionate share of the costs; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct, and the City Council so finds and determines.
Intention. The public interest requires, and the City Council intends, to annex territory and create Zone 16 to levy annual assessments covering the costs of maintaining and operating storm drainage improvements serving Zone 16. These costs may include rent, repairs, equipment replacement, utilities, supervision, and any necessary replacements, improvements, or extensions to ensure proper operation.
Division 4 Exception. Under Section 2086 of the California Streets and Highways Code, Division 4 of that Code does not apply to these proceedings.
Law Applicable. The annexation proceedings and formation of Zone 16 will follow the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12, Sections 10000 and following) and the Stockton Improvement Procedure Code (Stockton Code).
Consent. All property owners subject to assessment have submitted written consents to the City Clerk for the annexation and formation of Zone 16, which are hereby accepted.
Special Benefit and Boundary Map. In the City Council’s opinion, the maintenance and operation of the storm drainage improvements provide more than local benefit. The costs are therefore chargeable to Zone 16, as shown on the map on file with the City Clerk, which defines the zone’s boundaries and governs all related details.
Engineer’s Report. The annual operation and maintenance costs are referred to Wong Engineers, Inc., Stockton, California, as the Engineer of Work, who is directed to file a written report with the City Clerk including, among other items, the following:
A general description of the storm drainage improvements to be operated and maintained.
A reasonable estimate of all costs and expenses of maintaining and operating the improvements.
A diagram showing, as they existed at the time of the passage of this Resolution, all the following:
The exterior boundaries of the territory to be annexed to the assessment district.
The boundaries of Zone 16.
The lines and dimensions of each parcel in Zone 16.
Each subdivision on the diagram shall be assigned a separate number. If the diagram references county assessor’s maps for parcel boundaries and dimensions, those maps shall control all such details.
A proposed annual assessment of operation and maintenance costs for Zone 16, apportioned to each numbered subdivision based on its adjusted drainage acreage and estimated benefits.
A proposed maximum assessment for each subdivision in the district.
See the Engineer’s Report for detailed descriptions of the improvements, annexation boundaries, and proposed assessments on assessable lots within the annexation area.
Public Hearing and Notice. Under the Act and Stockton Code, the City Council orders a Public Hearing on February 3, 2026, at the City Council Chambers, 425 N. El Dorado Street, Stockton, California, 95202, to decide on the annual storm drainage costs, the Engineer’s Report, annexation of territory, Zone 16, and related assessments. The City Clerk will mail notice of public hearing, including the Engineer’s Report, assessment ballot, and protest information, to all affected property owners at least 45 days before the hearing. Notice is considered given when mailed with the City’s name and Clerk’s return address.
Contact Person. Dagmara Saini, City of Stockton, is designated to handle protest inquiries and can be contacted during regular office hours at 2500 Navy Dr., Stockton, California 95206. Telephone (209) 937-8155. //
