This Council finds that the land specially benefited by the improvement is shown within the boundaries of the map entitled, "Proposed Boundaries of Leonard Road Assessment District, City of Saratoga, Santa Clara County, California." This map has been approved by the City Council and is now on file with the City Clerk. The land within the exterior boundaries shown on the map shall be designated Leonard Road Assessment District, City of Saratoga, Santa Clara County, California. This Council intends to levy a special assessment upon the land within th.· described district in accordance with the special benefit to be received by each parcel of land, respectively, from the improvement. There shall be omitted from special assessment all public streets, alleys and places and all land belçmging to the united States, the State of California, the County..of Santa Clara, and the City of Saratoga now in use in the performance of a public function. Where any disparity occurs in level or size between the improvement and private property, this Council determines that it is in the public interest and more economical to eliminate the disparity by doing work on the private property instead of adjusting the work on public property. Accordingly, work may be done on private property for this purpose with the written consent of the landowner. This City Council intends, pursuant to subparagraph (f) of section 10204 of the California Streets and Highways Code, to provide for an annual assessment upon each of the parcels of land in the proposed assessment district to pay various costs and expenses incurred from time to time by the City and not otherwise reimbursed to the City which result from the administration and SP2-11137.1 _.__,_.'M.'_.'_.'_.'M.'~~I~.'_.'_.'_.'M.'_.'_.'__,__,_ collection of assessment installments or from the administration or registration of the improvement bonds and the various funds and accounts pertaining thereto. Bonds representing unpaid assessments, and bearing interest at a rate not to exceed twelve percent (12%) per annum, will be issued in the manner provided by the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10, Streets and Highways Code), and the last installment of the bonds shall mature not to exceed nineteen (19) years from the second day of September next succeeding twelve (12) months from their date. The procedure for the collection of assessments and advance retirement of bonds under the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 shall be as provided in Part 11.1, Division la, of the streets and Highways Code of the state of California. The City will not obligate itself to advance and will not advance available funds from the City treasury to cure any deficiency which may occur in the bond redemption fund. This Council appoints John Heindel~ as Engineer of Work for this project, and directs the preparation of the report required by Section 10204 of the streets and Highways Code. In the opinion of this Council, the public interest will not be served by allowing owners of assessable lands to enter into a contract for the work of improvement as otherwise permitted in Section 20485 of the Public Contract Code. The amount of any surplus remaining in the improvement fund after completion of the improvement and payment of all claims shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of section 10427-of ~e streets and Highways Code.
