      5. ADOPT  RESOLUTION  NO. 21-25  DECLARING  THE INTENTION  TO FORM THE TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING REASSESSMENT DISTRICT 2021 REPLACING THE EXISTING TUSTIN LANDSCAPE AND LIGHTING DISTRICT
The Tustin Landscape and Lighting District was formed in 1985  to  fund  the  maintenance  of perimeter landscaping on the arterial highways and for the operation and maintenance  of  street lighting on public streets within the Tustin Ranch area. Assessments  for the  benefiting  properties were first confirmed for Fiscal Year 1985-1986 and each fiscal year  thereafter.  Assessments  collected through the District do not cover the cost of maintenance. Surplus bond funds have been used since Fiscal Year 2009-2010, as allowed by  the  California  Streets  and  Highways  Code,  to fully fund annual maintenance needs within the District boundaries. The surplus funds are nearly exhausted and a new Tustin Landscape and Lighting Reassessment District 2021 will need to be formed to ensure annual revenue is not less than expenses. At the April 6, 2021 meeting, the City Council ordered the preparation of  an Engineer's  Report  for  the Levy  of Annual  Assessments  for the Tustin Landscape and Lighting Reassessment District 2021.
