AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: July 9, 1999 (Council Meeting 7- 21 -99)
SUBJECT: Consider Deferral of the Establishment of a Zone 12
[Carlsberg Specific Plan] Assessment for'FY1999 /2000.
BACKGROUND
1. On June 23 the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the
assessment amounts for Assessment District 84 -2 for Fiscal
Year 1999/2000. That action left unchanged the zero assessment
provided for in prior years.
2. At a prior meeting, on June 16, there was a public hearing to
consider the tabulation and certification of Mail Ballots
related to possible increasing the Zone 12 assessment to an
amount deemed sufficient to fund the maintenance of certain
designated medians, parkways and slope areas within Zone 12.
On June 2 That matter was continued to June 23. On June 23
the matter was again continued to July 21. The Public Hearing
was left open and remains open for the City Council meeting of
July 21.
TITQMTCCTr)W
In early June staff prepared and distributed Mail Ballots to the
owners of the properties within Zone 12. Those ballots advised
each of the affected property owners of the amount of the
assessment required to provide the funding needed for the
landscape maintenance.

Zone 12 Assessment

Page 2
A number of questions were raised by some of the affected property
owners regarding the benefit / spread formula. Staff worked with
each of the affected property owners in an attempt to reach a
consensus or a compromise that was acceptable to all parties.
Those efforts failed. Rather than impose assessments considered by
some to be unfair, it is recommend that no action be taken at this
time to establish a Zone 12 assessment. Discussion of a possible
increase to the Zone 12 assessment in Fiscal Year 2000/2001 (and
the related transfer of the maintenance responsibility to the
City) can be discussed with the affected parties early next year
[The Engineer's Report for AD84 -2 for FY 2000/2001 is due to be
completed in March 20001.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that no action be taken and that the Zone 12
assessment for FY 1999/2000 remain at zero.
