CC RES 1993-085RESOLUTION NO. 93 - 85
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES MEMORIALIZING THE CITY
COUNCIL'S INTENT TO CONDUCT A PERIODIC
LEGISLATIVE REVIEW OF THE CITYWIDE LANDSCAPING
AND LIGHTING DISTRICT
WHEREAS, changes in the economy, the limited portion of
property tax received by the City and continuing cuts in funding
from the State government have made it necessary for the City
Council to raise fees, establish the 1972 Act Landscaping and
Lighting Assessment District and impose additional taxes such as
a golf tax and a utility users tax; and
WHEREAS, the continuation of the Citywide Landscaping and
Lighting District would reduce the City's General Fund projected
shortfall by approximately $800,000; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the concern of the
citizens of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, expressed in
numerous public meetings, that all revenues measures be
periodically reviewed to determine if it is necessary to revise
or repeal them;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
Section 1. Beginning in January, 1996 and every four years
thereafter, the City Manager shall submit for consideration by
the City Council an analysis of the revenues derived from the
Citywide Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District. This
process shall be in addition to any procedures required by the
Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972. Based on the needs of the
City, the City Council shall determine if any modifications to
the District are necessary or if the assessments imposed by the
District should be discontinued. Said review shall be completed
by the City Council prior to the adoption of the budget being
prepared for the next fiscal year. The assessments imposed by
the District shall not be levied if the City Council does not
conduct the review required by this Section.
Section 2. The City Council hereby reaffirms the procedures
adopted by the City Council on December 15, 1992 whereby
individuals who are financially unable to pay the assessment
levied against lots and parcels within the Citywide Landscaping
and Lighting Assessment District may enter into an agreement with
the City so that the payment by the individual of the assessment
and penalty or interest may be deferred is hereby affirmed.
Section 3. Resolution No. 92 -84 is hereby repealed.
