Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Clarksburg Lighting Assessment District was established in August 1982 under the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, with the adoption of Resolution 82-108. The Assessment District is responsible for providing street lighting for the community of Clarksburg. In 2021, after gaining property owner ballot support, the benefit assessment was increased from $22 to $35 per parcel to continue providing lighting services to Clarksburg.
- Ballot Conducted: September to November 2021
- Ballot results: 71.8% of the property owners cast ballots in support of the proposed assessment
- Board Approval of 1st year Assessment Levies: August 10, 1982
- Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Approved Rate: $35 per parcel
- Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Approved Rate: $37 per parcel
- Annual CPI Adjustment: In each subsequent year, the maximum assessment rate increases by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA area for the most recent February to February as compiled by the Bureau of Labor statistics or five percent (5%), whichever is lower. The rate shall be rounded to the nearest dollar.
The change in the CPI from February 2023 to February 2024 is 2.4%. Therefore, the maximum authorized assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2024-25 have been increased by 2.4%, rounded to the nearest whole dollar, resulting in a maximum authorized assessment rate of $38.00 per parcel (an increase of $1.00 from last fiscal year). The proposed assessment rate for the 2024-2025 fiscal year is $38.00 based upon the Engineer's Report and the cost projections therein. A summary of the previous years' assessment rates and the proposed 2024-2025 rate is provided in the table below:
