Lindsay council approves continuation of landscape and lighting assessments for 2025–26
Summary
Lindsay City Council adopted a resolution continuing landscape, lighting and maintenance district assessments for fiscal year 2025–26, approving staff’s proposal to recover prior-year costs and directing further analysis on older districts with deficits.
The Lindsay City Council voted 5-0 June 24 to continue assessments for the city’s landscape, lighting and maintenance districts for fiscal year 2025–26.
The action allows the city to recover costs from fiscal year 2024–25 and maintain services in eight district areas while staff prepares a comprehensive review of older districts that show deficits.
City staff recapped the proposal during the public hearing, saying the package covers eight separate landscape or lighting districts and reflects charges calculated to recover expenditures from the prior fiscal year. Staff noted two districts could not be increased this year “because of this financial status,” and recommended a full analysis to bring older districts—some dating to the 1990s—up to current 2025 rates so services can be expanded or improved.
A resident, Eddie, spoke during public comment. “I don’t have an issue with the amount. The only issue I have is back in that area,” he said, referring to incomplete work in a portion of a district.
Councilmember discussion clarified that the action is annual and will be reviewed again next spring. Malcolm asked whether this is a one‑year action; staff confirmed the council will revisit district rates and efficiencies during the next review cycle. The council then moved, seconded and approved the resolution on a 5-0 vote.
Staff will return with a full analysis of district finances and proposed rate adjustments for council direction in the coming year.
