approval of Engineer's Report and scheduling of Public
Meeting and Public Hearing
Recommended Motion(s) : 1. Adopt Resolution Preliminarily approving
the Engineer's Report for FY 93 -94. 2. Adopt Resolution of
Intention to Levy Assessments and fixing the dates and times for
the Public Meeting and Public Hearing on the assessments.
Report Summary: The, attached two Resolutions continue the
reauthorization process for the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment
District LLA -1 for FY 93 -94. The first Resolution preliminarily
approves the Engineer's Report and the second Resolution is the
Resolution of Intention to levy the annual assessments. More
importantly, the Resolution of Intention schedules the required
Public Hearing on the assessments for your meeting on July 7 and
the additional Public Meeting required under the recent amendments
to the Government Code for your meeting on June 16. Because of its
size, I have not included copies of the Engineer's Report in your
packets. Copies are available for the Council's and the public's
review in my office and with the City Clerk.
Fiscal Impacts: None directly. All costs associated with the
reauthorization of the District are recovered via the annual
assessments levied against the properties in the District.
Follow Up Actions: The Resolution of Intention will be published.
Mailed Notices will be sent to all property owners whose
assessments are scheduled to be increased in accordance with recent
Government Code amendments.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: The
reauthorization process cannot move forward and scheduling
conflicts will occur in order to complete the process prior to
August 10 which is when the County Assessor must receive the
Assessment Roll to place the assessments on the Tax Rolls for FY
93 -94.

SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring Weeds and Brush Growing on Certain
Described Property to be a Public Nuisance
Recommended Motion:
Adopt resolution declaring weeds and brush growing on certain described
property to be a public nuisance.
Retort Summar
The attached resolution represents the first step in Saratoga's
new brush abatement program administered by the County Fire Marshal. The
County has determined that the parcels in Saratoga on the attached list have
brush growth which is a fire hazard or otherwise noxious or dangerous.
The Council should pass the resolution setting the public hearing for brush
abatement for June 2.
Fiscal Impacts:
None to City. County recovers its costs from administrative portion
of fee charged to property owners.
Follow UD Actions:
The County sends the property owners notices informing them that the brush
must be abated, either by the owners or by the County; when County abatement
will commence; and how they may present any objections at the public
hearing. The public hearing is noticed in the newspapers as well. After
the public hearing, the Council passes another resolution ordering
abatement on properties whose owners did not object or whose objections the
Council felt were invalid. The final steps.take place later, when the
County presents the Council with a list of properties whose abatement bills
have not been paid, and the Council, after hearing any objections, passes
a resolution declaring liens on those properties. These procedures are
similar to those followed for weed abatement.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions:
Brush abatement could not be performed by the County. It would be necessary
to depend upon property owners to take care of their own abatement.

SUBJECT: Grant of Easement to P.G. &E. at Ravenwood Park
Recommended Motion (s) Move to authorize staff to execute the Grant
of Easement.
Report Summary: P.G. &E. is requesting that the City grant to them
a small easement at the southwest corner of Ravenwood Park to
enable them to install underground utility facilities to serve the
new home under construction on the lot to the south of the park.

under the canopy of a large Oak tree in the P.S.E. on the property
owner's lot or out into Ravenwood Drive. In exchange for the
easement, P.G. &E. has agreed to install additional utility conduits

of Easement along with a map showing the location of the easement
is attached.

installing the irrigation controller at the park will be reduced.

on behalf of the City and the document will be recorded by P.G. &E.
