RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the City Council adopts the attached resolutions:
1. Approving the Engineer’s Report,
2. Reconfirming the Base Maximum Assessment Amount,
3. Confirming the Assessment Diagram and Fiscal Assessment,
4. Ordering the Levy and Collection of Fiscal Assessments,
5. Approving the Funding Recommendations, and
6. Appropriating Revenue and Expenditure budgets for Maintenance District No. 1
SUMMARY
For FY 2019, funds for Maintenance District No. 1 (MD 1) are estimated to be in deficit due to additional costs charged to the District. The attached engineer’s report has been updated from the June 5, 2018 meeting to reflect this change. Staff is recommending that a Proposition 218 election be held to request an increase in the maximum base assessment, set in 1995 at $243.92. In the interim, before the election is held, staff is recommending setting the FY 2019 assessment rate at its maximum base assessment amount of $243.92, which is the same amount charged last year.
MD 1 was established in 1995 to fund the operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a storm drain pumping facility near Stratford Road and Ruus Lane. The City subsequently signed an agreement with the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District) to transfer ownership and maintenance responsibility of the facility to the Flood Control District. The City acts as an intermediary, whereas the City established the maintenance district and receives the annual assessment revenue, and then annually reimburses the Flood Control District for their operation, maintenance, repair, and replace services.
If the City Council adopts the attached resolutions, the revenue and expenditure budgets will be appropriated, and the final Assessor’s tax roll will be prepared and filed with the County Auditor’s Office allowing the assessments to be included in the FY 2019 tax roll. In addition, staff will plan for and conduct a Proposition 218 election in FY 2019.
