Reason for Recommended Action/Background
In 2015, after gaining property owner ballot support, benefit assessments consistent with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 were established to provide funding for the maintenance and operations of a community park and aquatic center in the unincorporated community of Esparto. The park and aquatic center have since been formally named Tuli Mem Park.
The facilities consist of an 8.67-acre community park with sports fields, picnic area, walking trails and water fountains, and an aquatic center containing two swimming pools, snack bar, changing rooms, and showers. The aquatic center and park became operational in Summer of 2019. The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 requires an annual Engineer’s Report be prepared by a licensed professional engineer and establishes other requirements for the continuation of the assessments.
On February 25th, 2025 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 25-14 directing SCI Consulting Group to prepare an Engineer’s Report for fiscal year 2025-26. The Engineer’s Report includes the proposed budget for the assessments for fiscal year 2025-26, the special and general benefit findings to support the assessments, and the proposed assessments per single family equivalent benefit unit for fiscal year 2025-26. The report is available for review at the Clerk of the Board’s Office and included as Attachment B. On May 20th, 2025, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 25-28, which granted preliminary approval of the Engineer’s Report and set the date of today’s public hearing.
