Council approves engineer reports and annual assessments for multiple landscape and lighting maintenance districts

The Imperial City Council on Monday adopted a series of resolutions approving engineer reports and ordering the levy and collection of annual assessments for multiple landscape and lighting maintenance districts.

Staff reported on the Imperial Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 for Paseo Del Sol and Wildflower subdivisions and the Sky Ranch subdivision (District No. 2), as well as the Imperial Lighting Maintenance District No. 1. The staff report for Paseo Del Sol and Wildflower was presented by Victor Henriques and noted that Scott Koppel was available by Zoom for questions; Henriques said the resolutions amend and approve the engineer’s report and order the levy and collection of annual assessments for FY 2025–26.

Council opened each public hearing, received no public comments, and closed the hearings before taking action. Motions were made and seconded to adopt the resolutions for each district; the council approved the landscape-district engineer reports and assessment resolutions (referenced in the hearing as resolutions in the 2025-35 through 2025-40 range) by unanimous votes.

Why it matters: adopting the engineer reports and ordering assessments funds the ongoing maintenance of landscaped medians, common areas and public lighting in the affected subdivisions; the action enables local maintenance districts to collect assessments on the tax roll for the coming fiscal year.

Supporting details: staff said the resolutions amend and approve the engineer’s reports for the district areas and that the levy and collection will proceed for FY 2025–26. No public comments were received during the hearings and council approved each item with 5-0 votes.
