DATE: December 27 , 1984
SUBJECT: proposed Assessment District for the Maintenance
of Public Parks and other Landscaped Areas
At the November 6, 1984 Statewide General Election, Moorpark consolidated
a special municipal election with the County for the purpose of placing
an advisory ballot measure before the City' s voters. The advisory
measure was worded as follows:
Shall the City Council consider the formation of
an assessment district pursuant to the Landscaping
and Lighting Act of 1972 for the purpose of main-
taining public parks and other landscaped areas
within the City of Moorpark?
Of the 4,762 votes cast in the general election 4 ,284 voted on the
measure, with 2, 634 (61 .5%) voting "Yes" . Attached is a copy of
City Resolution No. 84-118 , together with the Arguments Against and For
the Ballot Measure and the City Attorney' s Impartial Analysis. The
District would be formed pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act
of 1972 (Streets and Highways Code Section 22 ,500 et seq. ) , the same as
the Citywide Street Lighting District.
If the City Council is interested in formally considering the creation
of a Citywide Public Parks and Landscape Maintenance District for
fiscal year 1985-86 (July 1 , 1985) , City staff should be directed to
proceed at this time. The initial step would be to secure a proposal (s)
for preparation of the required Engineer' s Report. The City Engineer
has indicated a willingness to perform this task.
A number of items will need to be considered by the Council to permit
the formation of the District for FY 1985-86 , including at least two (2)
separate public hearings and the contents of the Engineer's Report
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805)529-6864
The Honorable City Council

describing the areas to be maintained with estimated costs, the
boundaries of the proposed district and any zones within it, and the
proposed assessments for each lot and parcel within the district.
If the district is created, the Council should also consider possible
consolidation with the existing maintenance districts (83-1 and 84-1)
and possible annexation of other planned districts instead of con-
tinuing with separate districts. The City will also need to allow
sufficient time to advertise for bid for the maintenance of the
facilities.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct staff to obtain a proposal (s) for the formation of the
proposed district and a timetable for formation.
