RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II):

3. Setting the date for a public hearing in compliance with Prop. 218 to consider protests regarding imposition of the assessments.
SUMMARY
The 6.12 miles of streets in the Old Highlands area were not brought up to City standards upon annexation in 1963 and have not been maintained, with the exception of emergency repairs. City Staff and the Old Highlands Homeowners Association (OHHA) Board and property owners have agreed to a cost share and the creation of an assessment district and imposition of special assessments against the properties in the Old Highlands area to fund a pavement rehabilitation project in the area (see Attachment III - area map).
