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: April 26, 2022 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 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 will maintain the assessments at each of the benefit zones at the historic 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 2022/23 Preliminary Engineer’s Report (Attachment 1), Intentions to Levy and Collect Assessments (Attachments 2-7) and setting the date and time for the public hearing for June 21, 2022, Town staff will mail a Notice of Intention to Levy Annual Assessments for FY 2022/23 to all property owners which will include the public hearing date, time, and location.

Any written protest must be received by the Town Clerk no later than the public hearing of June 21, 2022, 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.
