REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> Date: February 9, 2015 <br /> Item No.: 8.d <br />Department Approval City Manager Approval <br />Item Description: Adopt a Resolution to Approve 2015 Apportionment of Assessments <br />B <br />ACKGROUND <br />1 <br />Whenever the legal description of property changes, it is necessary to reassign previously levied <br />2 <br />assessments remaining on the property to the proper frontage or area of the new lot or lots. This <br />3 <br />is called “Reapportionment of Assessments.” This typically happens when a property is <br />4 <br />subdivided or an easement is recorded on the property. The City Council must approve all <br />5 <br />reapportionments. <br />6 <br />7 <br />Until 1993, each reapportionment was done with a separate Council Action request and <br />8 <br />Resolution. The need to process separate reapportionments was very costly and time consuming. <br />9 <br />In the past, there have been as many as 30 reapportionments in a single year. By adopting one <br />10 <br />resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion the assessments, we are saving <br />11 <br />the City time and money. <br />12 <br />PO <br />OLICYBJECTIVE <br />13 <br />The City Council must approve the reapportionment of levied assessments for property <br />14 <br />subdivisions. The engineering staff does the calculations to reapportion the assessments and <br />15 <br />processes all support documentation for each request. <br />16 <br />SR <br />TAFF ECOMMENDATION <br />17 <br />This system has been used since 1993 and has worked well. It is the staff recommendation to <br />18 <br />continue this action for 2015. <br />19 <br />RCA <br />EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION <br />20 <br />Approval of a resolution authorizing the Public Works Director to reapportion assessments in <br />21 <br />2015. <br />22 <br />Prepared by: Sally Ricard, Department Assistant <br />Attachments: A: Resolution <br />Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
