SUMMARY
State law requires an engineering analysis each year to identify property benefits and to levy
assessments in the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District. Resolution No. 14 -17 orders the
preparation of the Engineer's Report for the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District Levy of Annual
Assessments for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 14 -17 ordering the preparation of the
Engineer's Report for the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District Levy of Annual Assessments for
Fiscal Year 2014 -2015.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds are budgeted and appropriated in the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District Fund
to cover this work, which is to be performed for a fee not to exceed $12,000. Additionally, the costs
for operating and maintaining the District are offset through the levy of the annual assessments for
the District.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
Assessments collected through the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District contribute to the
fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets by ensuring
Tustin is an attractive, safe, and well maintained community in which people feel pride.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Tustin Landscape and Lighting District provides funding for the maintenance of perimeter
landscaping on the arterial streets and for the operation and maintenance of street lighting on
public roads within the Tustin Ranch area.
This action is the initial phase of the process to determine district expenses and to levy annual
assessments for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 in the Tustin Landscape and Lighting District. Adoption of
Resolution No. 14 -17 formally orders the preparation of the Engineer's Report.
Three future City Council resolutions will be required to complete the assessment process:
