Loading...
Summary
The council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution of intent for Lighting District 2446 (Prescott Ranch Phase 2) and set a public hearing for April 7, 2026. Staff said the district is already operating and the city is reconciling records for 47 lighting districts.
The Belgrade City Council voted unanimously March 2 to adopt a resolution of intent to create Lighting District 2446 for Prescott Ranch Phase 2 and set a public hearing on the creation for April 7, 2026.
City staff member Charity told the council the city has been reviewing its inventory of 47 lighting districts; she said 16 of those are incomplete in records or lack installed lights. She said this particular district is already up and running and "we are already paying the bills, we are just not" fully documented in the city’s paperwork.
After Charity’s presentation the council opened the floor to public comment and received none. A council member moved to adopt the resolution and set the hearing; the motion was seconded and the council approved it by unanimous voice vote.
Why it matters: Lighting districts create a mechanism to collect assessments for street lighting and reflect local responsibility for installation and maintenance. The council action moves the Prescott Ranch Phase 2 district toward a formal public process before any assessments are finalized.
What’s next: A public hearing is scheduled for April 7, 2026; staff will continue reconciling lighting-district records and, if needed, present assessments and maps at the public hearing.
