Council renews Citywide Maintenance District assessments; staff says assessment unchanged for decades
Summary
Council approved renewal of Citywide Maintenance District No. 93‑1 for FY 2026–27; staff said the assessment will generate $1,019,854 while total landscape and lighting costs are roughly $2.4 million, leaving a general‑fund subsidy of about $1.4 million.
Finance Manager Laura Borjan presented the annual renewal for Citywide Maintenance District No. 93‑1, explaining the district was formed in 1993 to fund public street lighting and landscaping and must be renewed each year to continue levying assessments.
Borjan said the assessment for FY 2026–27 will generate about $1,019,854. Council members pressed staff on total program costs; Borjan said the actual landscape and lighting cost is a little over $2,000,000 (staff later referenced $2,400,000) and that the general fund subsidizes roughly $1,400,000. Council noted the assessment is a flat rate that has not been adjusted for about 30 years.
After public hearing and questions, the council moved, seconded and approved the renewal on second reading by unanimous vote.
