WHEREAS, The City Council intends to levy and collect assessments within the
Baypoint Lagoons Landscaping and Lighting District, City of San Rafael, Marin County,
California, during the fiscal year 2025-26. The area of land to be assessed is located in
the City of San Rafael, Marin County.
WHEREAS, In accordance with this Council’s resolution directing the filing of an
Engineer’s Annual Report, Joanna Kwok, City Engineer, has filed with the City Clerk the
report required by the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. All interested persons are
referred to that report for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the
boundaries of the assessment district and the proposed assessments upon assessable
lots and parcels of land within the assessment district.
WHEREAS, in accordance with this Council’s resolution directing the filing of an
Engineer’s Annual Report, Joanna Kwok, City Engineer, has filed with the City Clerk the
report required by Section 4 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution (“Proposition
218”) and Article 4 of the “Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972,” being Division 15, Part
2 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California (the “Act,” and together with
Proposition 218, collectively, the “Assessment Law”). All interested persons are referred
to that Report for a full and detailed description of the improvements, the boundaries of
the District and the proposed assessments upon assessable lots and parcels of land
within the District.
WHEREAS, the Engineer’s Annual Report does not provide any increase in the
assessment methodology or any formula or range of assessments which will increase the
assessments, rather the assessment is proposed to increase based on the previously
adopted methodology, and as such, under Government Code section 53753.5, the City
need not further comply with the notice, protest and hearing requirements of section
53753.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Rafael, California DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.
2. This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Guidelines Section 15378 (b) (4), because government fiscal activities which do
not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially
significant physical impact on the environment are not considered a project.
3. On Tuesday, the 23rd of June 2025 at the hour of 6:00 o’clock P.M., the City
Council will conduct a public hearing on the question of the levy of the proposed
annual assessment. The hearing will be held in person at the City Council
Chambers.

the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 by publishing a copy of this resolution
once in the Marin Independent Journal, publication to be completed not less than
