An estimated $119,553 will be carried over from 1990-91 in the form of reserves. $181,940 will be assessed to property owners for the 1991-92 street lighting costs. DESCRIPTION: In 1983, the City Council formed a Citywide Street Lighting Assessment District to replace the County of Alameda Lighting Service Area. On August 13, 1984, the City Council approved the Annual Engineer's Report and ordered levy of assessments for the first time. The District budget for Fiscal Year 1984-85 (the first year) was $116,500. The District expenditures for the subsequent fiscal years and budget for 1991-92 are detailed on Exhibit 1 attached. The 1991-92 District cost is expected to increase approximately 12% over that for Fiscal Year 1990-91 due to increases in energy cost and the number of street lights. The assessment to individual property owners is not anticipated to increase by the same percentage because of the increase in the number of housing units. A reserve fund has been built into previous budgets for future pole replacements at the economic life of the poles and for unexpected costs to the District. For Fiscal Year 1991-92, no change is recommended with respect to the method of determining the assessments. The District diagram boundary is proposed to be the same as the City Limits; no annexations were made in the period between March 1, 1991, and February 28, 1992. The actual assessments to property owners will be calculated once the City receives the tax rolls from the County Assessor's Office. Last year's assessment for a single-family house was $18.24. Staff would estimate that the 1991-92 assessment would be approximately $19.00. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Resolution.
