Subject: Resolution Ordering Planting of Trees on
Broadway between 26th Street and Easterly
City L i m its
Introduction
This report recommends the formation of an assessment district to
plant trees on Broadway from 26th Street to Easterly City Limits.
It al so requests tl1e Council to set a publ ic hearing for November
23, 1982.
Background
The Ci ty previously has assessed pro pe rty owners on Lincoln
Boul evard and Santa Monica Boulevard for tree planting and a tree
planting assessment district has been form e d as part of the
Wilshire resurfacing proJect. As a continuation of the City I s
I
tree planting beautification proje~t, staff believes it is
appropriate to form assessment districts along Broadway to plant
trees. All street and sewer work in Broadway has been completed.
The assessment district will be formed in compliance with Chapter
27
of
the Streets and Highways Code and assessments are
recommended as a continuation of past practice to recover the cost
of the tree planting which is $3.00jfront foot. The attached
resolution directs the Street Superintendent to order the work
done and, in addition, sets a public hearing for November 23,
1982. at which time public protests will be heard.

Financial Analysis
Funds for the cost of the trees, tree well covers and the contract
to saw-cut the pavement will have to be advanced by the City at
the time of the public hearlng.
The assessments collected will
reimburse the Capital Improvements Fund for the total cost of the
work. For a fifty-foot lot, this would amount to an outlay by the
City of $85.00.
The plantlng of these trees as well as any future street trees
planted by City staff on other parts of Broadway, 20th Street,
Santa Monica Boulevard, Wilshlre, Olympic and other streets will
result in additional maintenance costs in future years. These
additional costs are of concern to the City staff. The cost of
tree maintenance is presently covered by the General Fund. The
staff has presented a plan to fund these cost by a City-wide
assessment district.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached
resolution directing the Street Superintendent to order the
planting of trees along Broadway between 26th Street and Easterly
City Limits and setting a publlC hearing for November 23, 1982.
