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.

6. AUTHORIZATION TO ABANDON AND DESTROY TUSTIN AVENUE WELL The Water Enterprise owns and operates the Tustin Avenue Well site located at 1822 N. Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, California. The well was drilled in 1952 and has consistently and reliably served the Tustin Water Service customers for the last 70 years. In October 2020, the well was taken out of service for water quality concerns associated with groundwater basin impacts related to Pre- and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS). Wellhead treatment and centralized well treatment have been determined to be infeasible and it is recommended the well be properly abandoned.
