ITEM 10-A
Council Meeting: May 26, 1992
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT: Recommendation to Hold a Public Hearing for the Confirmation of
Assessment of Costs for Street Resurfacing on Pico Boulevard from
Twentieth Street to Twenty Eighth Street Completed With the 1990-91
Street Resurfacing Program
Introduction
This report recommends that City Council hold a public hearing to hear
protests regarding the completed street resurfacing work and to confirm the
assessment of costs for street resurfacing on Pico Boulevard from Twentieth
Street to Twenty Eighth Street. These improvements were completed with the
1990-91 street resurfacing program.
Background
On April 14, 1992 City Council held a public hearing to confirm the assessment
of costs for the FY 1990-91 street resurfacing program. Some property owners
on Pico Boulevard from Twentieth Street to Twenty Eighth Street did not
receive the Notice of Public Hearing because of a clerical error.
A public hearing to confirm the assessment of costs must be held pursuant to
Section 5882 of the California Streets and Highways Code. On April 28, 1992,
City Council set the public hearing date for the confirmation of the
assessment amounts for May 26, 1992. All affected property owners were
notified by mail on May 8, 1992 of the public hearing date and the assessment
amount. A list of property owners and assessment amounts will be available
to City Council at the time of the public hearing.
Residential properties are not assessed for street resurfacing. Commercial
and industrial property owners will be assessed the full cost for the street
resurfacing at $9.00 per lineal foot. The 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
typical assessment is $450.00 for street resurfacing.
Budget/Financial Impact
It is calculated that approximately $11,970 will be generated from property
owner assessments for street resurfacing. Revenues will be deposited in
Account No. 01-500-401-00000-0124-10000, "Street Resurfacing Assessment". 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:
1. Open the public hearing;
2. Close the public hearing; and
3. Acknowledge any protest and adopt the attached resolution confirming
the assessment of costs.
