Temple City council adopts annual lighting and maintenance assessment resolution
Summary
The council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution No. 25-5815 to order the levy of the citywide lighting and maintenance district assessment; staff estimated district revenue at $333,952 and said the assessment rate did not change from the prior year.
Temple City’s City Council voted unanimously June 3 to adopt Resolution No. 25-5815 to order the levy and collection of assessments for the citywide Lighting and Maintenance District. The council moved and seconded the motion and approved it by roll call; all members voted yes.
City staff explained that the Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972 authorizes assessment districts for improvements such as street lights, traffic signals, medians and parkway landscaping. Staff said the city’s district was formed in 1979 and that the annual engineering report uses the direct-benefit assessment method established in 1995. Staff presented an estimated revenue amount of $333,952 and said there is no change from the prior fiscal year’s assessment rates.
The council opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers on the item, then voted to adopt the resolution. The motion and second were recorded on the council floor; staff and the mayor completed the roll call vote.
The transcript contains an inconsistency about the fiscal year referenced: the agenda announcement listed the levy for fiscal year 2025–2026, while the motion recorded on the floor referenced fiscal year 2024–2025. That discrepancy was not resolved on the record. The adopted resolution number (25-5815) is recorded in the meeting materials.
The council did not amend the assessment rates at the meeting. Next procedural steps are implementation of the assessment roll and usual collection processes for the district.
