PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
ADDITION OF TERRITORY, AREA 4-45 (VALLEY, PALADINO NE)
Fiscal Year 2005-2006
Addition of territory, Area 4-45 (Valley, Paladino NE) to the Consolidated
Maintenance District is generally described as an area bounded by a line approximately
3,960 feet north of Paladino Drive on the north, a line approximately 1,320 feet east of
Valley Lane on the east, Paladino Drive on the south, Valley Lane on the west as
specifically shown on Map and Assessment Diagram marked Exhibit "B," attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth, as an area within
the City of Bakersfield.
Pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 13.04 of Title 13 of the Municipal
Code of the City of Bakersfield, referred to as the Maintenance District Procedure, the
Public Works Director makes and files this Report and proposed assessment of and
upon all parcels of property within the area for the cost of maintaining a public park
and public street medians and other public street landscaping. The improvements
generally include, but are not limited to, recreation and sports equipment including
swings, slides, play structures and storage buildings; picnic facilities including tables,
benches, barbecues, trash cans, drinking fountains and restrooms; irrigation system
including water mains, sprinklers, fountains, and electrical wires, conduits and timers;
plant forms including trees, shrubs, ground cover and turf; and sidewalks and walkways
now existing or hereafter to be constructed or planted in and for said area and are of a
public nature. The assessment includes the cost of necessary repairs, replacement,
water, electricity, care, supervision and any and all other items necessary for the proper
maintenance and operation thereof, and all additions and improvements thereto which
may hereafter be made.
For many years, public parks, public streets median and other public
street landscaping improvements in the City were maintained through traditional tax
revenues. After Proposition 13, in 1978, funds available for maintenance and operation
of parks, street median and other street landscaping improvements were substantially
reduced. At present, the City's budget does not allow for maintenance and operation of
park and street landscaping improvements of the type described above. Thus, without
funds for maintenance and operating costs from a source other than general tax
revenues, the City does not permit new public parks, street median and other street
landscaping improvements to be constructed within the City.
Additional territory, Area 4-45 (Valley, Paladino NE) is being added to the
EXHIBIT "1"
.
;')
..~-- ,--~..._..._-~-_._-----
Consolidated Maintenance District for the maintenance of a park and public street
median and other street landscaping. The area will be assigned appropriate park and
street tiers in the Consolidated Maintenance District so that each parcel will be
assessed the same amount as other parcels receiving a similar benefit.
All parcels within this area shall be assessed an amount not to exceed
that established in Resolution No. 019-05 per equivalent dwelling unit (as that term is
defined in Exhibit "C") per parcel. In each subsequent year, annual assessments may
increase by the cost of living reflected in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County/All
Urban Consumers Consumer Price Index. However, parcels will not be assessed until
park and/or street landscaping have been installed. When park and/or street landscape
improvements have been completed, the appropriate park and street tier levels will be
assigned, but in no case shall the assessments exceed the amount established in
Resolution No. 019-05 as escalated per the above described Consumer Price Index.
The area will consist of residential use, thus all parcels within the area will
be affected. Sensory benefits from installing street landscaping are aesthetic
enhancement and open space enjoyment.
A public park will benefit all the residential lots and public median and
street landscaping will benefit all the lots or parcels and will be assessed on an
Equivalent Dwelling Unit basis throughout the area. The Benefit Formula is set forth
herein as Exhibit "C" and attached hereto and incorporated in this resolution as though
fully set forth herein.
NOW THEREFORE, I, RAUL M. ROJAS, Director of Public Works of the
City of Bakersfield, by virtue of the power vested in me and the order of the Council of
said City, hereby submit the Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Budget and Assessment Roll as set
forth in Exhibit "D" and Exhibit "E," respectively, attached hereto and incorporated
herein as though fully set forth, upon all parcels of property within additional territory,
Area 4-45 (Valley, Paladino NE), subject to be assessed to pay the cost of maintenance
and operation in said area.
