REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 02/14/11 <br />Item No.: 7. p <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Resolution to Approve 2011 Apportionment of Assessments <br />11 BACKGROUND <br />2 Whenever the legal description of property changes, it is necessary to reassign levied <br />3 assessments remaining on the property to the proper frontage or area, of the lot or lots. This is <br />4, called "Reapportionment of Assessments." This typically happens when a property is <br />5 subdivided or an easement is recorded on the property. The City Council must approve all <br />6 reapportionments. <br />"7 <br />8 Until 1993, each reapportionment was done with a separate Council Action request and <br />9 Resolution. The need to process separate reapportionments was very costly and time consuming. <br />110 In the past, there have been as many as 30 reapportionments in a single year. By adopting one <br />11 resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion the assessments, we are saving <br />12 the City time and money. <br />13 POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />14, The City Council must approve the reapportionment of levied assessments. The engineering <br />15 staff does the calculations to reapportion the assessments and processes all support <br />116 documentation for each request. <br />1 "7 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />11 111",,'11 This system has been used since 1993 and has worked well. It is the staff recommendation to <br />119 continue this action in 2011. <br />2o REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />2 i Approval of a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion assessments in <br />22 2011. <br />Prepared by:� Sally Ricard, Senior Office Assistant <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />Page I of I <br />
