Description) N/A Finance: Council Notes: 04-07-97 J.fhlq7 Agenda Item No. <<. ~ .I ~ CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT On July 17, 1996, the IVDA Board requested the City, through the office of the Director of Public Works, to initiate proceedings for the establishment of a Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District within a major portion of the former Norton Air Force Base property presently under the control of the IVDA. Although the IVDA has control of the majority of property proposed to be within the boundaries of the assessment district, the United States Air Force is still the fee owner of the property. We have recently received consent from the Air Force to the formation of an Assessment District. The proposed improvements to be maintained will include present street lighting and landscaping along portions of Tippecanoe Avenue and Del Rosa Drive and will include future street lighting and landscaping as the area develops. Amendments to the Article XIII of the California Constitution (as amended by Proposition 218) require that a hearing be held and that all property owners subject to an assessment within the proposed district be given mailed notice of the hearing, along with a ballot, which the property owners may submit to indicate support of, or opposition to, the proposed assessment district. The ballots will be weighted by the amount of assessment of each parcel and will require a majority approval for the formation of the district and levying of assessments. Proposition 218 also requires that all publicly owned lands that receive a special benefit of the improvements or maintenance be assessed. IVDA has indicated that they would assume payment of the assessment for the Air Force. An agreement between the City and IVDA will be prepared and presented for approval. As properties are sold to private ownership, those property owners will assume the assessments. As part of the proceedings, a detailed report will be prepared by the Director of Public Works/City Engineer, setting forth the method of assessment, assessment benefit, along with the assessment spread and a proposed assessment roll and other pertinent details. The cost of establishing the assessment district is estimated at $6,000, which will be included in the first year's assessment rolls. We recommend that authorization be given to proceed with the establishment of a Street Lighting and Landscape Maintenance Assessment District over portion of the former Norton Air Force Base property.
