The Board reviewed the following memo dated 12/5/89: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing the Roseland Road Street Lighting District DATE: December 5, 1989 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On July 25, 1989, the Board authorized staff to proceed with design, cost estimates, and an implementing ordinance to establish the Roseland Road Street Light District. The design of 19 street lights is complete along Roseland Road from Indian River Drive to 126th Street. The estimated cost for the first year is $3,360 for the entire district, plus administrative costs. The benefit district includes approximately 335 acres and 638 parcel/acres to be assessed. The estimated cost per parcel acre is $5.27/year. RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Subject to comments received by the public at the Public Hearing, staff recommends approval of the Roseland Road Street Lighting District. Public Works Director James Davis advised that the assessment is $5.27 per parcel/acre and pointed out the area to be served. Commissioner Scurlock understood that the initial assessment would decline because generally the first year is the biggest year due to the capital improvements that are required, and then after that, it is maintenance and utilities. Director Davis explained that the high costs the first year are for administrative costs and setting up the district. The capital improvement expenditures are for equipment, but that cost is pro -rated over 10 years. After receiving the petition from the property owners in the Roseland community, we determined the benefited area and worked with the power company to develop the cost estimate for the 19 lights along Roseland Road. Director Davis noted that while this district is being established for municipal street lighting, it could be expanded to serve other future improvements in the Roseland community. 19 BOOK DEC 121989 78 fAWE
