Council orders levy of three maintenance assessments for 2026–27 fiscal year
Summary
Council adopted resolutions ordering the levy and collection of assessments for three districts (lighting, parkway/median maintenance, and Port Wayne drainage) and authorized the city manager to execute a billing agreement with the county auditor-controller; council voted unanimously.
The Port Hueneme City Council on June 15 adopted three resolutions ordering the levy and collection of assessments for fiscal year 2026–27 covering (1) landscape and lighting maintenance, (2) parkway and median maintenance, and (3) the Port Wayne Drainage Maintenance Assessment District for the Bubbling Springs corridor.
Public Works Director Fred Camaro explained the districts’ functions: the lighting district covers street-lighting payments, the parkway/median district funds landscape maintenance and contracted services, and the drainage assessment funds channel maintenance for a defined corridor. Camaro said staff will submit the engineers’ reports and required documents to the Ventura County Auditor‑Controller so the assessments can be placed on property tax rolls.
Council asked about the effects of LED conversions and tiered Southern California Edison billing; staff said an audit will verify rate tiers and any needed adjustments. With no public comment, council approved the resolutions unanimously.
Next steps: staff will file documents with the county by the July 7 deadline described in the staff report and continue work on LED and tier audits.
