BACKGROUND
In accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 and the California Government Code, the City Council is required to conduct a public hearing process regarding the levy of annual assessments for LLAD No. 3 for the upcoming fiscal year.
As part of the three-step process, the City Council must: 1) initiate proceedings and direct the preparation of the Engineer’s Report; 2) hold a meeting to declare its intent to levy the assessments, accept the annual Engineer's Report, and set a date for public hearing; and, 3) conduct a public hearing and confirm and levy the assessments.
DISCUSSION
The various costs for services provided through LLAD No. 3 include those associated with street lighting and traffic signal maintenance, street landscape maintenance, street tree management, and park maintenance within the city limits.
Following the City Council’s consideration and approval to initiate proceedings, the City’s consultant, NBS, will prepare the annual Engineer’s Report, calculate the levy amounts, and prepare the assessment roll for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Following the preparation of the Engineer’s Report, at its upcoming meeting on May 26, 2026, the City Council will consider approving the Engineer’s Report and the resolution of intent, as well as setting Agenda Item No. 3.6
