f�� <br />� <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Date: 02/10/14 <br />Item No.: 7.c <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />r ������� <br />.�� <br />Item Description: <br />BACKGROUND <br />Adopt a Resolution to Approve 2014 Apportionment of Assessments <br />Whenever the legal description of property changes, it is necessary to reassign previously levied <br />assessments remaining on the property to the proper frontage or area of the new lot or lots. This <br />is called "Reapportionment of Assessments." This typically happens when a property is <br />subdivided or an easement is recorded on the property. The City Council must approve all <br />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 consuming. <br />In the past, there have been as many as 30 reapportionments in a single year. By adopting one <br />resolution authorizing the Public Warks Director to reapportion the assessments, we are saving <br />the City time and money. <br />POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />The City Council must approve the reapportionment of levied assessments for property <br />subdivisions. The engineering staff does the calculations to reapportion the assessments and <br />processes all support documentation for each request. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />This system has been used since 1993 and has warked welL It is the staff recommendation to <br />continue this action for 2014. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Approval of a resolution authorizing the Public Warks Director to reapportion assessments in <br />2014. <br />Prepared by: Sally Ricard, Department Assistant <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
