SUMMARY
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires an annual review and update of the engineer’s report to set the annual assessment rate for each benefit zone. Assessment rate recommendations are made based on annual expenses, required cash flow, and future capital repair and replacement requirements. Recommended annual assessment rates cannot exceed the Maximum Base Assessment (MBA) established when each zone was originally formed. The annual engineer’s report (Attachment IV) includes a detailed summary and budget for each of the eighteen benefit zones.
