Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield, the Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and upon all parcels of property within the districts for the cost of maintaining and operating traffic signals that benefit the various districts. The assessment includes the cost to operate, maintain, repair and replace signal poles, mast arms, signal heads, controller, cabinet, machine vision detection system, street light luminaries, conduits, wires and pull boxes, cost of energy, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper maintenance and operation thereof. Developers often request permission to install traffic signals on major streets to enhance access to their development. These "convenience" traffic signals are not required by the Traffic Authority to regulate traffic flow, but are installed solely at the discretion of the developer of a commercial site. Such signals do not provide a general public traffic benefit. Under the "user pay" concept, the private property deriving benefits should bear the costs of maintenance and operation of convenience traffic signals. On September 28, 1994 the City Council approved Resolution 161 -94 instituting the collection of maintenance and operating costs of future convenience traffic signals through maintenance districts. The traffic signals that are operated and maintained under these maintenance districts benefit the parcels within the various districts. Each parcel is assessed an amount based on formulas set forth in each of the districts' Exhibit "C" on file with the City Clerk's Office. 66 " S: \PROJECTS \MAINDIST \2013 -2014 MD Info \Folderfor City Info \Traffic Signal MD \TS_2013 -14 Reso TRAFFIC.docx EXHIBIT O AK 9tr m F= ov ORIGINAL NOW, THEREFORE, I, RAUL M.
