RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) initiating proceedings pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Sec. 1160 et. seq., preliminarily approving the Engineer’s Report, providing notice of public hearing in compliance with Prop. 218, and approving the mailing of ballots. Staff also requests the adoption of a resolution (Attachment III) adopting Procedures for Proposition 218 Assessment Ballot Proceedings for the Old Highlands Area Pavement Improvement Assessment District.
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 the framework for creation of an assessment district and imposition of special assessments against the properties in the Old Highlands to fund a pavement improvement project in the area (see Attachment IV, Assessment Diagram for proposed District). An Engineer’s Report has been prepared by SCI Consulting Group (SCI) (Attachment V). The Engineer’s Report proposes a new assessment to fund the cost to repave the roadways within the proposed district boundaries.
