DENNIS DELZEIT SCOTT MONTGOMERY City Engineer Councilmember JOHN V. GILLESPIE RICHARD T. HARE Chief of Police City Treasurer MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable City Council � FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager `�4 DATE: February 10, 1989 SUBJECT: Resolution Initiating Proceedings for the Annual Assessments for the "Parks Maintenance Assessment District. No. AD-85-1"; and Ordering Preparation of the Engineer' s Report As the City Council is aware, no assessments were levied in 1987-88 or 1988-89 for AD 85-1. The Council authorized the use of general funds for both of these fiscal years and the return of excess proceeds of taxes from 1985-86 for a portion of the costs for 1987-88. Even though the projections from the financial analysis calculated as part of the appropriation limit review show that park expenditures can be funded by projected general fund revenues in 1989-90, it is recommended that the proceeding be initiated for AD 85-1 for the following reasons: 1. The referenced Appropriation Limit Report made certain expenditure projections for parks and other services that may not reflect service levels ultimately decided upon by the Council . In addition, the estimated budget reserves provide little flexibility. 2. Any decision at this time would predetermine the funding source for parks maintenance prior to the annual budget review. 3. The City Attorney has indicated that to return any proceeds of taxes to the citizens by reducing or eliminating park maintenance assessments, such action must be based upon an Engineer' s Report prepared pursuant. to State Law. The purpose of the Engineer' s Report and annual proceedings are explained in the companion staff report prepared for AD 84-2. If the Council concurs with the staff recommendation to proceed with initiation of the proceedings and preparation of the Engineer' s Report, an expenditure of an estimated $4,500 is needed. The cost to prepare the Engineer' s Report for 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 The Honorable City Council February 10, 1989 Page 2 1988-89 was $3,500 since the Council decided not to levy assessments. The adopted 1988-89 Budget includes $3,500 for preparation of the 1989-90 Engineer' s Report. Projected expenditure savings in other line item accounts would permit the City to expend funds needed to prepare the report. If the Council determines to levy assessments for AD 85-1 for 1989-90, the additional cost would increase to about $5,200. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 89- Initiating Proceedings for AD 85-1 and Ordering Preparation of Engineer' s Report. 2. Authorize the City Manager to secure the services of a qualified engineer to prepare the Engineer' s Report for the Parks Maintenance Assessment District (AD 85-1) at a cost not to exceed $4,500. Any cost above $4,500 will require prior approval of the City Council . SK: sc 892103.tem MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA Attachment City Council Meeting of ,19$ �9 ACTION: 53hi �31p n a -62.c 601k9 4: eh . • .
