In accordance with the California Streets and Highways Code Part 2, Streets and Highways Code section 22500 et seq. (the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972), the City of Rocklin established the Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (the District). The District was formed for the purposes of maintaining street lights and safety lighting located within the District. A map of the District is included on page 8 of the attached Engineer's Report. 

The Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (the Act) identifies the process required to annually levy and collect assessments to meet the needs of the District. The Act requires an annual Engineer’s Report to be prepared each year for which assessments are to be levied and collected. The report is to contain plans and specifications regarding improvements to be maintained, an estimated cost for maintaining the improvements, a diagram of the proposed assessment area and an assessment of the estimated costs. Upon completion, the Engineer’s Report shall be submitted to the Legislative Body for approval or modification and approval. Once the Legislative Body has approved the Engineer’s Report, a Resolution of Intent to levy and collect assessments for the district shall be approved and a time set for a public hearing regarding the levy of the proposed assessment.

For areas within the district created before the 1996/97 tax year, Proposition 218 requires any modification of assessment rates or methodologies to be brought to the voters. The maximum allowable tax for these areas has not changed since the 1996/97 tax year.

Budgeted expenses for the District will equal budgeted assessment revenue in the 2022/23 fiscal year (FY). The attached Engineer's Report shows that based on the budgeted needs of the District and depending on location, the District’s assessment for FY 2022/23 will be between $11.05 and $125.15 for a single-family residential parcel.
