District was formed in 1980 after improvements were made along Third
Avenue between "E" and "F" Streets. Since then the improvements have

In 1980, the Redevelopment Agency had improvements completed for the
beautification of the downtown area along Third Avenue between "E" and
"F" Streets. At that time an assessment district was formed to offset
the costs of maintaining the additional landscaping and supplying
electrical current to the decorative lighting system. The present
district includes all those properties fronting both sides of Third
Avenue from "E" to "G" Streets and three properties along the south
side of "F" Street, west of Third Avenue.

Streets and Highways Code of the State

Meeting Date 6/21/88
Director of Public Works has prepared the Engineer's Report,
eading the subject assessments. At its meeting held on June 14th,
the Council accepted this report and set June 21st as the date for the
public hearing.
The original budget for this district for Fiscal Year 1987-88 was
$36,510. After protests were expressed at the public hearing, the
figure was reduced by eliminating the steam-cleaning of sidewalks and
by reducing the dollar amount for the Open Space Coordinator's
administrative costs. The final budget figure was $31,495 (A net
decrease of 14~) The resulting total net assessment to the property
owners decreased from $32,300 to $27,278.
The proposed budget for Fiscal Year 88-89 is set at $32,810. (It was
approved by Council on June 15th.) This is a 4~ increase over last
year's amount of $31,495. This is due to the increase in contractual
services and electrical energy costs, plus raising the amount for staff
services, so the district assessments will completely pay for the Open
Space Coordinator's administrative costs.
However, the actual assessment amount is proposed to be 1.7~ lower,
since the balance available from the previous fiscal year was higher
($24,564.00 as compared to $18,530.00). The higher balance results
from savings on the various budget items and investment returns.
property owners in the District were notified of a Pre-Assessment
ting held on June 12, 1988. Included in that notice was a chart
s owing the past fiscal year's assessment for each parcel and a
synopsis of item costs proposed for F.Y. 88-89 compared to last year.
The property owners were also notified by mail of this public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT: None. If the assessments are levied as proposed, all
costs incurred will be paid by the District.
