5. ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 21-25 DECLARING THE INTENTION TO FORM
THE TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING REASSESSMENT DISTRICT 2021
REPLACING THE EXISTING TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT
The Tustin Landscape and Lighting District was formed in 1985 to fund the
maintenance of perimeter landscaping on the arterial highways and for the operation
and maintenance of street lighting on public streets within the Tustin Ranch area.
Assessments for the benefiting properties were first confirmed for Fiscal Year 1985-
1986 and each fiscal year thereafter. Assessments collected through the District
do not cover the cost of maintenance. Surplus bond funds have been used since
Fiscal Year 2009-2010, as allowed by the California Streets and Highways Code,
to fully fund annual maintenance needs within the District boundaries. The surplus
funds are nearly exhausted and a new Tustin Landscape and Lighting Reassessment
District 2021 will need to be formed to ensure annual revenue is not less than
expenses. At the April 6, 2021 meeting, the City Council ordered the preparation of
an Engineer's Report for the Levy of Annual Assessments for the Tustin
Landscape and Lighting Reassessment District 2021 .
Council Member Gomez recused herself from Items 5 and 7 due to a conflict of
interest.
It was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Lumbard and seconded by Council Member
Gallagher to adopt Resolution No. 21-25 declaring the intention to form Tustin
Landscape & Lighting Reassessment District 2021 replacing the existing district as
of Fiscal Year 2021-2022 and to levy assessments commencing with Fiscal Year
2021-2022, accepting and approving the Engineer's Report, ordering a property
owner official assessment ballot proceeding, and setting a Public Hearing for June
15, 2021.

PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 11
11. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) ONE YEAR ACTION
PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2021-22 AND AMENDMENT TO 2020-21 ACTION
PLAN
Assistant Director of Community Development Irma Huitron provided a PowerPoint
presentation.
The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, established
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program to return federal funds to
local communities for the purpose of developing viable urban communities by
providing decent housing, suitable living environments, and by expanding economic
opportunities, specifically for low and moderate-income persons. To participate in the
CDBG program, the City is required to prepare a Consolidated Plan that identifies
needs for affordable and supportive housing, community development, public
services, and economic opportunities. The Consolidated Plan is required every five
years, and was most recently adopted on April 21, 2020. Annually, the City is also
required to prepare a one year Action Plan that implements the goals and objectives
contained in the Consolidated Plan. The proposed 2021-22 Action Plan set forth in
Resolution No. 21-22 (Attachment A) fulfills this annual requirement.
On February 16, 2021, the Tustin City Council held a public hearing for the 2021-22
Action Plan preparation process. The purpose of the hearing was to inform interested
citizens about the CDBG program, obtain citizens' views on CDBG priorities, and
receive a report on the performance of the current public service CDBG fund
recipients (also known as non-profit subrecipients). During this meeting, the City
Council recommended continued funding to all twelve (12) existing non-profit
subrecipients.
The City of Tustin is also proposing to amend its current 2020-21 Action Plan,
reallocating CDBG funds from an activity which is now complete, and no longer being
funded by CDBG (Peppertree Park Improvements project), to an existing activity
which would allow the City to utilize these funds to prevent, prepare for, or respond
to COVID-19 (Emergency Response Funding project).
Public Hearing opened at 6:16 p.m.
Public Input:
1 . Irene Martinez, Meals on Wheels, submitted an email which was distributed
to the Council on April 16th
2. KellyAnn Romanych, Veterans Legal Institute, submitted an e-comment which
was distributed to the Council on April 20th
