Introduction
This report recommends that City Council set a public hearing for April 14,
1992 to hear protests regarding the completed work and to confirm the
assessment of costs for the construction of concrete gutters, street
resurfacing, the repair of damaged sidewalks, driveways and curbs, and the
removal of hazardous pavement in parkway areas, on various City streets.
These improvements were completed with the 1990-91 street resurfacing program.
Background
On May 28, 1991 City Council approved the formation of an assessment district
for the construction of concrete gutters, street resurfacing, the repair of
damaged sidewalks, driveways and curbs, and the removal of hazardous pavement
in parkway areas in conjunction with the 1990-91 street resurfacing program.
The following streets were included:

On June 21, 1991, notices of the public hearing were posted and mailed in
accordance with State law, to all affected property owners. The public
hearing was held on July 9, 1991. After closing the public hearing, Council
ordered the work to commence.
The street resurfacing, curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway and parkway work was
completed as part of an annual street improvement project and the property
owner assessments are now due. A public hearing to confirm the assessment of
costs must be held pursuant to Section 5882 of the California Streets and
Highways Code. The attached resolution sets the public hearing for 7:30 p.m.
on April 14, 1992. All affected property owners will be notified of the
public hearing date and the assessment amount fifteen days prior to the public
hearing. A list of property owners and assessments amounts will be available
to Council at the time of the public hearing.

*Denotes (If damage was due to tree roots).
+Denotes (Only the removal of the hazardous pavement in parkway areas, but not
the replacement of the removed pavement).
Residential properties are not assessed for gutter construction or street
resurfacing. Commercial and industrial property owners will be assessed the
full cost for the construction of the gutters and the street resurfacing
fronting their property. The proposed assessments are designed so that each
commercial and industrial property owner will pay the same unit cost
regardless of the width of the street on which their property fronts.
Consistent with the present policy for assessing commercial and industrial
properties, this assessment will be a cash assessment and no bonds will be
issued. For a commercial or industrial property owner with a 50 foot lot, the
total estimated assessment would be $450.00 for resurfacing, and $575.00 for
gutters, if gutters are to be constructed on that location.
Sidewalks, driveways and curbs, if damaged, were replaced and hazardous
parkway pavings removed, but not replaced. Property owners were assessed 100%
of the costs. An exception to the above were areas damaged by parkway tree
roots, in which case the residential property owner was assessed only 50% of
the costs and the City paid the balance.
Budget/Financial Impact
It is calculated that $125,813 will be generated from property owner
assessments for gutter construction and street resurfacing. Revenues will
be deposited in Account No. 01-500-401-00000-0124-10000, "Street Resurfacing
Assessment". Additional revenues in the amount of $27,245 will be generated
from the repair of sidewalks, driveways and curbs, and the removal of pavement
in parkway areas which will be deposited in Account No.
01-500-481-00000-0179-10000, "Sidewalk Repair Revenue". Any unpaid
assessments will be put on the 1992-93 property tax roll by the Los Angeles
County Assessor's office.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution setting a
public hearing on April 14, 1992, to confirm the assessment of costs for
gutter construction, street resurfacing, and the repair of damaged sidewalks,
driveways and curbs, and the removal of hazardous pavement in parkway areas on
the above-mentioned streets.
