REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager May 7, 2018 SUBJECT Levy of Benefit Assessments for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 Redwood Shores Landscape Maintenance District 1995-1 RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution to order the Levy of Benefit Assessments for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 for the Redwood Shores Landscape Maintenance District 1995-1 in the amount of $260,817 and find that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines SEction 15301 (Existing Facilities) BACKGROUND The Redwood Shores Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1 was established in December 1995. The Lido Neighborhood Specific Plan, approved by the City Council, recommended that a maintenance district be established to maintain public areas and facilities benefiting the Lido Neighborhood in Redwood Shores. Creation of the District, which is comprised of the developments known as The Cove at California Bayside, California Seacrest and the Lido Neighborhood, establishes a means for financing annual landscape maintenance costs of public facilities specifically benefiting the parcels within the District. ANALYSIS The District is annually assessed to allow taxes to be levied and collected by the San Mateo County Tax Controller and Collector’s Office. The enabling document for the District established a District budget with a built-in inflation adjuster based on the greater of the City’s annual percentage increase in labor costs for landscape maintenance in Redwood Shores or 2%, but in any event not to exceed 3.5% in any fiscal year. For FY 2018/2019, the assessments will be increased by 3.5%, the maximum allowable levy increase. The City’s Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department is responsible for landscape maintenance for the District, including irrigation, trees, shrubs, perennials, 6.3.B. - Page 1
