HomeMy WebLinkAbout06-07-1995 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORTSEXECUTIVE SUMMARY NO. o S 1 4 AGENDA ITEM
MEETING DATE: JUNE 7, 1995 CITY MGR.:
ORIGINATING DEPT.: PUBLIC WORKS DEPT. HEAD: '
SUBJECT: Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District LLA -1 -
Public Meeting to Reauthorize District for FY 95 -96 and
for Annexation No. 1995 -1
Recommended Motion(s): None required. Receive public comment and
direct staff accordingly.
Report Summary: At your meeting, the Council will conduct a
combined Public Meeting specified by Gov't. Code Section 54954.6.
The public meeting is necessary because several of the proposed
assessments for FY 95 -96 are increased from the current year's
assessments and because properties are proposed to be annexed into
the District in Zones 3, 5 and 22. Increased assessments are
proposed for Zones 3, 6, 9, 13, 17 and 18 (see attached chart
showing the history of the annual LLA assessments since the
inception of the District). Notices informing each of the affected
property owners of either the proposed increase in their respective
assessments or of the annexation proposal, as well as of the date
and time of the Public Meeting and the June 21 Protest Hearing,
were mailed on May 5 (see sample notice attached).
The Council is not required to take any action at the Public
Meeting. The meeting is simply an opportunity for affected
property owners to address the Council about the proposed
assessments/ annexation, ask questions and request information. My
office has logged several calls from property owners who have
received notices, and the most commonly asked questions are "What
am I paying for ?" or "Why is my assessment going up ? ". My
observation is that once property owners receive answers to their
questions, they appear for the most part to be satisfied and accept
the proposed assessment since they recognize the benefits it
provides to their properties. We have, however, received several
protests thus far, and at your meeting, I will update you on the
number of protests which have been filed within each Zone.
Fiscal Impacts: None directly. All of the costs associated with
the Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District are recovered from
the assessments.
Advertising, Noticing and Public Contact: Notices prescribed by
Govt. Code Section 54954.6(c) (1) have been mailed to those property
owners within the District whose assessments are proposed to be
increased from the current year or whose properties are proposed to
be annexed into the District.
Consequences of Not Acting on the Recommended Motions: N /A.
Follow Up Actions: Depends on whatever decisions the Council makes.
The Protest Hearing is scheduled for June 21.
Attachments: 1. Proposed assessment schedule for FY 95 -96.
2. History of LLA assessments.
3. Description of activities proposed within each Zone
for FY 95 -96.
4. Sample Notice.

Dear Sunland Park Homeowner:
The City of Saratoga has graciously offered to include this letter from your
Steering
Homeowners Association in the mailing of this year's'Property Tax Assessment
" Committee
Notification in an effort to explain the increased assessment.
Officers:
You may recall that we (Sunland Park Homeowners) voted last year to assess
Rlchard0umet
President
ourselves $15.00 to cover the cost of designing a landscape improvement plan for
g � g f� � P P
Helena Fancher
the frontage area along Quito Road between McCoy and Baylor. This was added
Vice President
to the annual $10.00 that is used by the City to maintain this frontage area.
Dan Langevin
Therefore, if you were to look back at your 1994 -1995 Property Tax bill, you
Treasurer
would notice that $25.00 went toward the Saratoga Lighting District.
Maripat Nellls
Secretary
This year's assessment (attached) represents the cost to each homeowner for the
implementation of the Quito Road landscaping project. The results of the vote
indicate overwhelming support for proceeding with this project. With over 76%
of the votes received (152 homes), more than 98% voted in favor. The landscape
committee has guaranteed that the cost of this project will not exceed $80,000.
This figure, evenly distributed among the 200 homes in the development, results
in a $400.00 assessment per homeowner. Since the City has agreed to finance
this project over two years, we will be assessed $200.00 on our 1995 -1996
property taxes and the balance in the following year. The additional $13.18
represents a combination of (a) our part of the administrative costs that Saratoga
incurs to operate the Landscape and Lighting District, (b) six months of
maintenance costs for the new landscape, and (c) a credit from last year's unspent
money.
If you have any questions, please call your Block Representatives. You will find
their phone numbers on any of the newsletters that have been distributed recently.
Your Block Representatives, the Landscape Committee, and we on the Steering
Committee will work together to get your questions answered quickly and
thoroughly.
Sincerely,
Richard Gurney
President
Sunland Park Homeowners Association
