REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />June 25, 2018 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Levy of Benefit Assessments for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 for the Seaport Boulevard <br />Landscape Maintenance District <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution to order the Levy and Collection of Benefit Assessments for FY <br />2018-2019 for the Seaport Boulevard Landscape Maintenance District in the amount of <br />$212,500, and find that the project is exempt from the requirements of the California <br />Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing <br />Facilities) <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Seaport Boulevard Landscape Maintenance District (District) was established on <br />July 27, 1987 to pay for the expense of maintaining and operating the stormwater <br />retention basin and landscaping along Seaport Boulevard. Annual assessments are <br />levied against commercial properties along Seaport Boulevard and in Seaport Centre <br />for maintenance of facilities that were determined to require a level of service greater <br />than regularly required. <br />On June 8, 2015, the City Council accepted the City Manager’s and Engineer’s Reports <br />(Reports) that describes the maintenance work, costs and the formula by which annual <br />assessments will be calculated against each assessed parcel for an aggregate amount <br />not to exceed $212,500 for the District. <br />On August 24, 2015, property owners of the District approved, by a vote of 100% yes to <br />0% no, the levy of a maximum annual benefit assessment of $212,500. On the same <br />date, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the proposed annual <br />assessments and authorizing the County to levy and collect the assessments. It was <br />approved that the assessment would be levied annually, without additional mail ballot <br />proceedings, so long as maintenance expenses are incurred. The rate of the <br />assessment may not be increased above the rate shown on the ballot without an <br />additional mail ballot proceeding. <br /> <br /> <br />6.3.A. - Page 1
