SUBJECT: BAYPOINT LAGOONS LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING DISTRICT:
RESOLUTION CONFIRMING DIAGRAM AND ASSESSMENT AND LEVYING
ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009-2010
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution
BACKGROUND: In accordance with the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 the City
Council is responsible for confirming the Assessment Diagram and levying the assessment for
the next fiscal year for the Baypoint Lagoon Landscape and Lighting District. CSW/Stuber-
Stroeh are the Engineers of Work and have prepared the Engineer's Annual Report.
The City Council adopted its Resolution of Intention to levy and collect assessments within the
assessment district for the fiscal year 2009-2010 on July 20, 2009. The Council also adopted
the Resolution of Intention to Order Improvements and set the date for the Public Hearing for
August 3, 2009. The purpose of the Public Hearing is to receive any comments on the Annual
Report.
A description of work is part of the Engineer's Annual report. As for next year, the work to be
accomplished is the continued incremental selective removal of cattails in the lagoon, the
removal of non-native plants and the reintroduction of native plants.
Public Works staff has been meeting with the Homeowners Association on a regular basis to
discuss issues related to the Lagoon's condition. These meetings have been very productive in
.directing the type of work that the lagoon requires to maintain a healthy environment. Presently
the HOA is paying for the maintenance of lagoon plantings at its own expense and accruing
assessment monies in order to pay for pump station improvements. These improvements
include new motor controls at the Cayes Pump Station that will automatically adjust the lagoon
water levels and improve water quality.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact.
