annuals, and other elements. These landscape improvements are specifically benefiting <br />the District, but are also available to the public-at-large. Therefore, about 12% of the <br />District’s budget, an amount estimated to reflect the general public’s enjoyment of the <br />public facilities, will be paid for by the City’s General Fund and not included in the levy <br />of benefit assessment for the District. <br /> <br />Related budgets, assessments, and City Manager’s and Engineer’s Reports are <br />available for review in the City Clerk’s Office. <br /> <br />A draft resolution authorizing the collection of the assessments is attached along with a <br />map of the District. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council may ask for additional information. The City Council may choose not to <br />authorize the tax levy, and consequently, not provide additional landscape maintenance <br />services to area property owners; however, this would be contrary to prior Council action <br />on the District. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The Districts’ finances are separate from the City’s General Fund. However, according <br />to the enabling document for the District, the City’s share of the District’s landscape <br />maintenance budget is about 12% of the District’s budget. The City’s share of funding is <br />factored into the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department’s operating <br />budget. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />The City of Redwood City has determined that this action is categorically exempt from <br />the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under California Code of Regulations, <br />Title 14, Section 15301 because the assessments, if approved, will fund the repair and <br />maintenance of existing facilities. <br /> <br /> <br />AHMAD HAYA <br />SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER <br /> <br /> <br />6.3.B. - Page 2
