Correspondence has been received from Mr. & Mrs. John Romanini, Rt. 1, Box 66, received on June 23, 1986, in protest to the formula used to set the assessment for the park for Maintenance District No. 2. Mayor Payne declared the hearing open for public par- ticipation. No protests or objections being received, Mayor Payne closed the public portion of the hearing for Council deliberation and action. Councilmember Moore read into the record correspondence he received from Christina Romanini, as follows: Dear Council: Concerning the hearing for Maintenance District No. 2, we object to the formula used to set our assessment for the park. We own five-p]exes at 7016 and 7024 Ming Avenue that are affected by this assessment. We have been charged $176.45 or five times the rate charged a homeowner of a single- family dwelling for each five-plex. We feel it is wrong to charge each apartment unit the same amount as a single family home. We object to this formula because apartment dwellers are nor- mally smaller households. Less people per unit will use the park than people from single-family dwellings. We understand this formula is one of the older for- mulas used in Bakersfield with the newer districts using a different formula. The newer formula rate is based on the statistics that 3.24 people reside in single-family dwellings while only two people usually reside in an apartment. Thus, the formulas figured at 3.24 times the rate for single-family dwellings and two times the rate for each apartment unit. We feel this new formula is fair and it assesses the people who actually benefit from the park their fair amount without overburdening the owners of apartment complexes. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to this proposed assessment. Sincerely, Christina Romanini Councilmember Moore made a motion to bring Maintenance D~strict No. 2 into conformance with the same formula used in other Maintenance Districts which would result in a charge of $22.06 versus $35.30. This motion was unanimously approved. Bakersfield, California, June 23, 1986 - Page 3 Councilmember Moore made a motion to adopt resolution approviag budget, confirming assessment and authorizing collection of assessment by Kern County Tax Collector. Doug Ayers, of Management Services Institute, explained the methodology of City-wide Assessment Districts. Upon a motion by Councilmember Moore, Resolution No. 79-86 of the Council of the City of Bakersfield for Maintenance district No. 2 approving and adopting the 1986-87 Budget, levying assessments, reserving the right to perform maintenance work by City forces and authorizing collection of Assessment by the Kern County Tax Collector was adopted by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Childs, Moore, Ratty, Smith Noes: Councilmembers Christensen, Dickerson, Salvaggio Absent: None This is the time set for public hearing before the Council for hearing protests by property owners on the amount of assessment, the fairness of the benefit formula, parcels of property to be assessed or reservation by the City of its right to elect to perform work of maintenance by City forces on Maintenance District No. 3, which provides the basis for the benefit assessment for main- taining street and parkway landscaping, walls, signs and parks to be borne by all parcels of property within Maintenance District No. 3, generally extending west from the east curb line of the median strip of Old River Road and the area extending north from the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way north to the cen- terline of White Lane. Mayor Payne declared the hearing open for public par- ticlpation. Kevin Brennon, 9325 Cory Avenue, indicated that the eastern boundary is Gosford Road, and expressed concern for the amount of the assessment of $93.00 and the reasoning for it. Public Works Manager Hawley indicated a change to the material in the Public Works Manager's Report. Assessments 3484 and 3489 are landscape areas and the assessments should be zero, which would reduce the budget $183.00. Therefore, the Budget for 1986-87 would be $203,512.00, with a carryover of $59,373.00 resulting in the amount to be assessed of $144,139. The cost to residents is $91.24.
