This report requests that the City Council set a public hearing
for October 13, 1992, to hear protests regarding the work and

Background

On October 9, 1979, the City Council approved a sidewalk repair
program which provided for property owner participation in the
cost of repairing damaged sidewalks.  Residential property owner
participation is 50% of the cost of the repairs if the damage is
related to tree roots; the City pays the remaining 50% of the
repair cost.  Property owners are assessed 100% of the cost if
the damage is not related to tree roots and commercial property
owners are assessed 100% of the cost regardless of the cause of
the damage.

Certain repair work has been completed at the following addresses
and the property owners' share of the cost is now due for the
following properties:   1853 Lincoln Boulevard, 1855 Lincoln
Boulevard, 1126 Maple Street, 1703 Ocean Avenue, 1683 Ocean
Avenue, 2232 Santa Monica Boulevard, 2001 Georgina Avenue, 2116

Street, 1030 Lincoln Boulevard, 2020 Idaho Street, 515 23rd
Street, 1061 Yale Street.

A hearing must be held pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 22,
Sections 5600 to 5630, of the Streets and Highways Code of the
State of California.  A Resolution setting the public hearing for
October 13, 1992, is attached.

The financial analysis, which will indicate total revenues to be
derived from this assessment district over the next two years,
will be presented to City Council at the time of public hearing.

setting a public hearing for October 13, 1992, on the assessment
