Assessment of Costs for Gutter Construction, Street Resurfacing,
Repair of Damaged Sidewalks, Driveways and Curbs, and the Removal of
Damaged Pavement in Parkway Areas on Various City Streets In

Introduction
This report recommends that City Council hold a public hearing 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 damaged pavement in
parkway areas, on various City streets. These improvements were completed as
part of 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 damaged 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. On March 3 and March 17, 1992, City Council set the public
hearing for April 14, 1992. All affected property owners were notified of the
public hearing date and the assessment amount on March 27, 1992. 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).

the replacement of the removed pavement).
Residential properties were not assessed for gutter construction or street
resurfacing. Commercial and industrial property owners were assessed the full
cost for the construction of the gutters and the street resurfacing fronting
their property. The proposed assessments were designed so that each
commercial and industrial property owner pays 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 is a cash assessment and no bonds will be issued. For a commercial
or industrial property owner with a 50 foot lot, the typical assessment is
$450.00 for resurfacing, and $575.00 for gutters, if gutters were constructed
on that location.
Sidewalks, driveways and curbs, if damaged, were replaced and damaged 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 $124,213 will be generated from this assessment 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 placed on the
1992-93 property tax roll by the Los Angeles County Assessor's office.
Recommendation
It is recommended that City Council:
1. Open the public hearing;
2. Close the public hearing; and
3. Acknowledge any protest and adopt the attached resolution confirming
the assessments of costs.
