BACKGROUND:
On April 16, 2024, the Town Council adopted a Resolution 2024-14 (Attachment 9) Describing
Improvements and Directing the Preparation of the Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year (FY)
2024/25 for Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts No. 1 and 2.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the adopted Resolution and pursuant to the requirements of the
Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22500), the
Engineer’s Report (Attachment 8) contains the following information:
1. Plans and specifications for the maintenance of the existing improvements and for
proposed new improvements, if any, to be made within the Assessment Districts or
within any zones thereof.
2. An estimate of the costs of said proposed new improvements, if any, to be made along
with the costs of maintenance or servicing, or both, thereof, and of any existing
improvements, together with the incidental expenses in connection therewith.
PAGE 3 OF 4 SUBJECT: Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 DATE: May 16, 2024
DISCUSSION (continued):
3. A diagram showing the exterior boundaries of the Assessment Districts and of any zones
within said Districts and the lines and dimensions of each lot or parcel of land within the
Districts as such lot or parcel of land is shown on the County Assessor’s map for the
fiscal year to which the report applies, each of which lots or parcels of land shall be
identified by a distinctive number or letter on the said diagram.
4. A proposed assessment of the total amount of the estimated costs and expenses of the
maintenance activities and proposed new improvements, if any, upon the several lots or
parcels of land in said Districts in proportion to the estimated particular and distinct
benefits to be received by each of such lots or parcels of land, respectively, from said
improvements, including the maintenance or servicing, or both, thereof, and of the
expenses incidental thereto.
The recommended actions would maintain the assessments at each of the benefit zones at the
current level, with no additions or reductions as these funding levels are appropriate to address
regular ongoing maintenance as well as capital maintenance as needed.
The Council may also direct that modifications be made to the Engineer’s Report if it so desires.
After Council’s consideration and adoption of the Resolutions Approving the FY 2024/25
Preliminary Engineer’s Report (Attachment 1), Intentions to Levy and Collect Assessments
(Attachments 2 through 7), and setting the date and time for the public hearing for June 18,
2024, Town staff will mail a Notice of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2024/25 to
all property owners, which will include the public hearing date, time, and location.
Persons wishing to protest the levy and collection of assessments may do so by
submitting/mailing the protest to the Town Clerk, 110 E. Main Street, Los Gatos, CA 95030;
emailing to the Town Clerk - Clerk@LosGatosCA.gov; or attending the public hearing. Any
written protest must be received by the Town Clerk no later than the public hearing of June 18,
2024, as described above.
Protests must identify the grounds for the protest, the person filing the protest, and the
property owned by the person filing the protest.
At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Town staff will transmit the assessment amounts to
the County Assessor which will appear as a separate item on the property tax bill for each
parcel.
PAGE 4 OF 4 SUBJECT: Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 DATE: May 16, 2024
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt the attached seven resolutions to continue the
annual process of renewing the Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts 1 & 2 for FY
2024/25. If the Town Council approves these actions, staff will mail Notices of Intention to
Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2024/25 to all property owners within the districts prior to the
public hearing in June.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There are no direct fiscal impacts on the Town's General Fund as a result of administering the
Landscape and Lighting Assessment Districts. All of the costs associated with the Districts are
recovered via the assessments levied against the property owners within the Districts. There
are no proposed increases in any of the parcel assessments for FY 2024/25 that would require a
ballot vote under Proposition 218.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
This is not a project defined under CEQA, and no further action is required.
