DATE. 3/1 7/03 <br />LVepartment Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Sectiow. <br />7L&., &ZZ�P- Consent <br />Item ® Resolution to approve 2003 apportionment of assessments <br />Background: Any time the legal description of property changes, it is necessary to <br />reassign any levied assessments remaining on the property to the proper frontage or area <br />of the lot or lots. This is called "Reapportionment of Assessments } }. This typically <br />happens when a property is subdivided or an easement is recorded on the property. The <br />City Council must approve all reapportionments. <br />Until 1993, each reapportionment was done with a separate Council Action request and <br />Resolution. The need to process separate reapportionments was very costly and time <br />consuming. In the past, there haeen as many as 30 reapportionments in a single year. <br />By adopting one resolution authorizing the Public works Director to reapportion the <br />assessments, we are saving the City time and money. <br />Policy objectives: The City Council must approve the reapportionment of levied <br />assessments. The engincering staff does the calculations to reapportion the assessments <br />and processes all support documentation for each request. <br />Staff recommendation: This system has been used for the last seven years and has <br />worked well. It is the staff recommendation to continue this action in 2003. <br />Approval of a resolution authorizing the Public works Director to reapportion <br />assessments in 003 <br />Prepared by: Jolinda Stapleton <br />
