Strategic Plan Goal:
This item aligns with Goal A: “Financially Sustainability” and Goal E: “Invest in Infrastructure” of the City of Victorville’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026. Annual assessment revenue supports the expenses for operations, maintenance, and improvement of associated landscaping, parks, and infrastructure.
Background:
City-Wide Assessment Districts were formed in accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, pursuant to Section 22605 of the Streets and Highways Code, and Section 22500 et seq., as per the requirements set forth in Proposition 218. In 1987, the City Council established the first Landscape Maintenance Assessment District (LMAD) to provide ongoing funding for the maintenance of landscaped areas along major and secondary arterial roadways adjacent to residential developments.
In 2003, the first Drainage Facilities Assessment District (DFAD) was created to support the continued maintenance of drainage basins and channels within residential housing developments.
In 2006, the City Council established the first Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) to fund the long-term maintenance of parks located within residential communities.
In 2013, the City-Wide Street Lighting Assessment District (SLAD) was formed to supplement funding for the ongoing maintenance of the City’s street lighting, safety lighting, and traffic signal systems and facilities.
As outlined in Section 22624, the City Council is first required to initiate proceedings by ordering the preparation of the Engineer’s Reports, preliminarily approving the reports, and declaring the intent to levy assessments and set the date for the Public Hearing. This process ensures the public has the opportunity to review the Engineer’s Reports and allows staff to make any necessary revisions. The final Engineer’s Reports are then presented for consideration at a subsequent public hearing. 4 7

Discussion:
During the regular City Council meeting held on June 2, 2026, the City Council initiated the proceedings, ordered the preparation of the Engineer’s Reports, preliminarily approved the Engineer’s Reports, and declared its intent to levy and set the Public Hearing date. The Engineer’s Reports have not been revised since the June 2, 2026, City Council meeting, and are now in final form on file with the Engineering Department.
Expenditures for each assessment district were updated to reflect the recently approved Fiscal Year 2026/2027 budget.
Required procedures now allow the public to comment during this meeting before approving the final resolutions. If the resolutions are approved, the special assessments will be submitted to the San Bernardino County Office prior to their August 10, 2026, deadline. The County will then be able to apply the special assessments to the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 tax rolls.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and receive testimony, give final approval of the Engineer’s Reports, and adopt Resolution Nos. 26- 055 through 26-058, confirming and ordering the levy and collection of the annual assessments for the respective assessment districts.
Staff is available to answer any questions the Council may have.
