Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
In 2015, after the County gained property owner ballot support, the County established benefit assessments under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 to provide funding for the maintenance and operations of a community park and aquatic center in Esparto, California. The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires that an annual engineer’s report be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and establishes other requirements for the continuation of the assessments. In order to continue to levy the assessments, the Board will need to adopt the resolution to direct SCI Consulting Group, the assessment engineer, to prepare an engineer’s report for fiscal year 2019-20. The engineer’s report will include the proposed budget for the assessments for fiscal year 2019-20, the special and general benefit findings to support the assessments, the updated proposed assessments for each parcel in the assessment district, and the proposed assessments per single family equivalent benefit unit for fiscal year 2019-20.
After the engineer’s report and assessment roll are completed, staff will bring them back to the Board for review and consideration. If the Board preliminarily approves the engineer's report, a noticed public hearing will subsequently be held to allow the public to provide input on the proposed budgets, services and continued assessments, and to allow the Board to make a final decision on the continuation of these important assessments. The preliminary engineer’s report is scheduled to be presented to the Board on May 7, 2019.
In July 2014, the Board approved a five year contract with SCI Consulting Group to perform a feasibility analysis and public opinion survey, assessment engineering, proposition balloting and other professional consulting services in an amount not to exceed $103,000. The contract term is July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2019 and the scope of work includes preparing the annual engineer's report contemplated by the resolution.
Staff recommends that the Yolo County Board of Supervisors approve the resolution (Attachment A). This Resolution directs SCI Consulting Group to prepare the engineer’s report for the Esparto Park Maintenance and Operations Assessment District for fiscal year 2019-20 as the first step in a three-step process in continuing the annual assessments for fiscal year 2019-20. |
