City Council Meeting: July 13, 2021
Agenda Item: 9.A
1 of 8
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Rick Valte, Acting Public Works Director, Public Works, Engineering and
Street Services
Subject: Public Hearing and Adoption of Resolutions Confirming the Streetlight
Assessment Costs for 10th Street and 25th Street
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing, receive public comment,
and adopt the attached resolutions confirming assessment costs for the installation of
streetlights in the following assessment districts:
1. District “A” – 10th Street between Carlyle Avenue and Marguerita Avenue; and
2. District “B” – 25th Street between Idaho Avenue and Washington Avenue.
Summary
The City has completed construction of two streetlight assessment district projects: 10th
Street between Carlyle Avenue and Marguerita Avenue (District “A”) and 25th Street
between Idaho Avenue and Washington Avenue (District “B”). These projects were
initiated by separate petitions in accordance with Chapter 7.04.860 of the Santa Monica
Municipal Code and the Improvement Act of 1911 (the “Act”), which authorizes the
creation of assessment districts for streetlight improvements. Each project entailed the
construction of new ornamental streetlight poles, post-top luminaries, and the
associated underground electrical system. Construction is complete and final
assessment costs have been compiled. California State Law requires the City Council to
hold a public hearing for each district to hear any appeals, protests, or objections to the
confirmation of assessment costs.
Discussion
District “A” Assessment Costs
On April 18, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11035 (CCS), stating its
intent to form District “A”, in accordance with The Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and
9.A
Packet Pg. 2206
2 of 8
Highways Code sections 5000 et seq.). The City Council set a public hearing for July
25, 2017 to consider whether an assessment district should be established for purposes
of installing street lighting improvements within District “A". In accordance with
Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (Government Code Sections 53750 et
seq.), notices of the public hearing and ballots were mailed to all record owners of
parcels within District “A,” advising such record owners that they may cast ballots for or
against District "A". The street lighting improvement work and costs thereof were
described in detail in the notices and the staff report prepared for the public hearing.
On July 25, 2017, the public hearing was held, all testimony and written objections and
protests to the proposed street lighting improvements and the extent of the districts to
be assessed were heard and considered by the City Council, and ballots were accepted
until close of such public hearing. The City Council directed the City Clerk to tabulate
the assessment ballots returned by the eligible voters to determine whether the votes
supported formation of District "A". The City Clerk made the required tabulation of the
assessment ballots, weighted according to the financial obligation of each affected
property. A true and correct copy of the tabulation of votes is contained in the City
Clerk's canvas of ballots, attached to Resolution No. 11066 (CCS) (Attachment A) and
incorporated therein by reference. The tabulated votes supported the formation of a
street lighting assessment in District "A”.
By adoption of Resolution No. 11066 (CCS), the City Council established District “A” for
purposes of installation of street lighting improvements. At the time of establishment of
District “A,” the total estimated cost of the proposed street lighting improvements was
$158,500, half ($79,250) of which was to be paid by the City and half ($79,250) by the
property owners. The City Council authorized the streetlight improvements to be
constructed in accordance with the Engineer’s Report, on file in the City Engineer's
Office.
On March 31, 2020, the City Manager executed a construction contract with
International Line Builders, Inc. for streetlight assessment District “A”. The final contract
9.A
Packet Pg. 2207
3 of 8
amount was $133,287. The project included the installation of six ornamental streetlight
poles, post-top luminaires, and the associated underground electrical system consisting
of conduits, wiring, and pull boxes. Construction was completed on December 17, 2020
and a Notice of Completion was filed on January 6, 2021.
At the completion of the project, an Engineer’s report was prepared to compile the total
project cost and final assessment costs per parcel. The total project cost includes
assessment and design engineering, construction, construction management, and
administration. The total project cost of $169,756 exceeded the Assessment Engineer’s
estimate of $158,500. The initial estimated construction costs did not foresee a $12,000
expense to install 400 linear feet of conduit and wiring connecting the new streetlights to
an existing circuit. This change was needed to provide power to the new streetlights in
the most efficient and least impactful way to the residents.
Staff recommends the total assessment to property owners be the maximum estimated
assessment of $79,250 (Attachment B), or 47% of the total project cost, with the
balance of the total project cost to be paid by the City. The City would seek
reimbursement for less than half of the total project cost and bill the property owners for
their proportional share of the $79,250 assessment based on their parcels’ square
footage. The breakdown of total project cost, City contribution, and property owner
assessments is as follows:
District “A” Project Costs Total Project Cost City Contribution Property Owner
Assessments
Assessment & Design Engineering $21,037.20 $10,518.60 $10,518.60
Construction $133,287.00 $66,643.50 $66,643.50

$15,432.42 $13,344.52 $2,087.90
Total $169,756.62 $90,506.62 $79,250.00
The City Engineer has made an assessment for District “A” (Attachment B) to cover the
sum due for the owner’s share of costs for improvements (the “Assessment”). The
Assessment refers to the contract for installation of the improvements, the work

contracted for and performed, and the amount to be paid therefor, together with all
incidental expenses, the amount of each assessment against each lot or portion of a lot,
the number of each lot or portion or portions of a lot so assessed, and the additional
information required by subdivision (b) of Section 53753 of the Government Code, and
has attached thereto a diagram exhibiting each street or street crossing, place, property
or rights of way on which any work has been done, showing the relative location of each
lot or portion of lot to the work done, numbered to correspond with the numbers of the
assessments. The Assessment has been filed with the City Clerk. The City Clerk would
give the notice of the Assessment, as required by Sections 5362 and 5363 of the
Streets and Highways Code.
District “B” Assessment Costs
On April 18, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11036 (CCS), stating its
intent to form District “B”, in accordance with The Improvement Act of 1911 (Streets and
Highways Code sections 5000 et seq.). The City Council set a public hearing for July
25, 2017 to consider whether an assessment district should be established for purposes
of installing street lighting improvements within District “B". In accordance with
Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act (Government Code Sections 53750 et
seq.), notices of the public hearing and ballots were mailed to all record owners of
parcels within District “B,” advising such record owners that they may cast ballots for or
against District "B". The street lighting improvement work and costs thereof were
described in detail in the notices and the staff report prepared for the public hearing.
On July 25, 2017, the public hearing was held, all testimony and written objections and
protests to the proposed street lighting improvements and the extent of the districts to
be assessed were heard and considered by the City Council, and ballots were accepted
until close of such public hearing. The City Council directed the City Clerk to tabulate
the assessment ballots returned by the eligible voters to determine whether the votes
supported formation of District "B". The City Clerk made the required tabulation of the
assessment ballots, weighted according to the financial obligation of each affected
property. A true and correct copy of the tabulation of votes is contained in the City
Clerk's canvas of ballots, attached to Resolution No. 11067 (CCS) (Attachment C) and
9.A

incorporated therein by reference. The tabulated votes supported the formation of a
street lighting assessment in District "B”.
By adoption of Resolution No. 11067 (CCS), the City Council established District “B” for
purposes of installation of street lighting improvements. At the time of establishment of
District “B,” the total estimated cost of the proposed street lighting improvements was
$149,000, half ($74,500) of which was to be paid by the City and half ($74,500) by the
property owners. The City Council authorized the streetlight improvements to be
constructed in accordance with the Engineer’s Report, on file in the City Engineer's
Office.
On March 31, 2020, the City Manager executed a construction contract with
International Line Builders, Inc. for streetlight assessment District “B”. The final contract
amount was $111,831. The project included the installation of five ornamental streetlight
poles, post-top luminaires, and the associated underground electrical system consisting
of conduits, wiring, and pull boxes. Construction was completed on December 17, 2020
and a Notice of Completion was filed on January 6, 2021.
At the completion of the project, an Engineer’s report was prepared to compile the total
project cost and final assessment costs per parcel. The total project cost includes
assessment and design engineering, construction, construction management, and
administration. The total project cost of $146,155 was less than the Assessment
Engineer’s estimate of $149,000. Therefore, staff recommends a total assessment to
property owners of $73,077, which is 50 percent of the total project cost and less than
the maximum estimated assessment of $74,500 (Attachment D). The City would seek
reimbursement for half of the total project cost and bill the property owners for their
proportional share of the $73,077 assessment based on their parcels’ square footage.
The breakdown of total project cost, City contribution, and property owner assessments
is as follows:

The City Engineer has made an assessment for District “B” (Attachment D) to cover the
sum due for the owner’s share of costs for improvements (the “Assessment”). The
Assessment refers to the contract for installation of the improvements, the work
contracted for and performed, and the amount to be paid therefor, together with all
incidental expenses, the amount of each assessment against each lot or portion of a lot,
the number of each lot or portion or portions of a lot so assessed, and the additional

has attached thereto a diagram exhibiting each street or street crossing, place, property
or rights of way on which any work has been done, showing the relative location of each
lot or portion of lot to the work done, numbered to correspond with the numbers of the
assessments. The Assessment has been filed with the City Clerk. The City Clerk would
give the notice of the Assessment, as required by Sections 5362 and 5363 of the
Streets and Highways Code.
Public Hearings
A public hearing to confirm the assessment costs must be held pursuant to the
California Streets and Highways Code. All affected property owners have been notified
of the public hearing date and the assessment amount for their respective properties
through a direct mailing at least forty-five days prior to the public hearing. The notice of
public hearing has also been advertised in the Santa Monica Daily Press.
Once the assessment costs are confirmed with the adoption of the attached resolutions
(Attachments E and F), property owners would be billed by the City for the assessment
costs associated with their properties. The final assessment amounts, determined
proportionally based on property square footage, are listed in Attachments B and D. The
cost for an average 7,500 square foot residential parcel in District A is $3,600 and the
9.A
Packet Pg. 2211
7 of 8
cost for an average 8,000 square foot residential parcel in District B is $3,141, if paid in
full.
Property owners have the option of paying the total assessment as a one-time payment
within thirty-days of invoice. Alternatively, each owner would have the option to pay bi-
annually over a three-year payment plan at 2.5% interest, five-year payment plan at
3.5% interest, or a ten-year payment plan at 5% interest. All assessment amounts
would be deposited into the Streetlight Assessment Reimbursement revenue account in
the General Fund.
